Afghan girl raped, killed by US troops

This just in on my new's desk!!!
Afghans kill thousands a year for jihad...
That is all.

No. There is nothing about an excuse warranted here in this discussion.

your right, what your doing is justifying, my bad

Listen. You people are making this too easy. All you can deliver in your favor is invective, hyperbole, ad hominem and unsupported and ridiculous allegations.

you accuse others of ad hominem and then post the following:

Also, dude, your "support" link is a webpage called "Empire Burlesque" written by an avowed communist. How much lamer can you get. Once again, come back when your frontal lobes are fully cooked.

seems you've gone and shot yourself in the foot there, soldier.
Communist? ...don't think you can get lamer than that, I mean, that is sooo 1950's.

come back when your frontal lobes are fully cooked.

why would i want to cook my frontal lobes? WTF? Brain Fart?

Do American servicemen and women commit rape and sexual assault? Without a doubt. Just like they get parking tickets, DUIs, cheat on their taxes and murder each other.

I see, rape is no biggie for you. just something to be justified and minimized, next you'll be blaming the victims.

Listen. You people are making this too easy. All you can deliver in your favor is invective, hyperbole, ad hominem and unsupported and ridiculous allegations. I'm going to recommend that you noobs here at ATS do a little more reading and substantially more thought before you try to tangle with the big dogs out here.

you think of yourself as a big dog? hmmm... not gonna even go there,poochy.

p.s. I would'nt throw good money after bad

Military rape reports rise, prosecution still low

Alarms on sex assaults in military Tsongas helps win law on handling of cases By Bryan Bender – Boston.com – January 3, 2011 WASHINGTON — Soon after she arrived in Congress three years ago, Representative Niki Tsongas attended a luncheon in the Capitol honoring wounded soldiers. The Lowell Democrat, chatting with a military nurse who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, heard something that shocked and motivated her. “She made the astonishing statement to me that she was more fearful of our own soldiers than she was of the enemy,’’ Tsongas recalled in an interview.

from Comparing Military and Civilian Rape Rates

To place military rape rates in context, it is valuable to compare them with civilian rates. Comparisons of the crime rates of civilian and military populations during peacetime periods in 1986–92 reveal that contemporary peacetime rates of rape by American military personnel are actually lower (controlling for age and gender) than civilian rates. However, the data also indicate that peacetime military rape rates are diminished far less from civilian rates than are military rates for other violent offenses. This “rape differential” is also reflected in the World War II data: U.S. Army rape rates in Europe climbed to several times the U.S. civilian rates for that period, while military rates for other violent crimes were roughly equivalent to civilian rates. Thus, in both contexts studied, a rape differential exists: the ratio of military rape rates to civilian rape rates is substantially larger than the ratio of military rates to civilian rates for other violent crimes.

and last but not least:
ACLU lawsuit: Military won't release rape records

Well they do say in the article..

, Afghan sources, who requested anonymity, told Iran Newspaper on Network on Wednesday.

..and...

However, ISAF has told Press TV correspondent that they cannot confirm this report

So they have people that said this happened but they have no confirmation of it.

If it happened it is horrible - but there is not enough proof in the story to know if it really happened of if it is all made up or if the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

This just in btw America, and friends, have killed 6 million plus in the middle east since the beginning of this new post 911 occupation; more than half are innocent women and children not to mention men. What are you under the impression every "towel head" is a terrorist? LOL Iknow you arent that ignorant or if knowledgeable not that retarded.

Personally, I think they are a lot more reliable than most other media out there. I'm just saying, considering I'm only trained in politics, current events, Iran, propaganda, etc, so at least I personally know what is going on behind the media to make such a judgement call.

You'll forgive my difficulty accepting your expert testimony on global relations as anything more than uneducated hyperbole.

This is your quote from the most recent Sorcha Faal thread...

The article mentions "GRU". Do they mean FSB Spetsnaz GRU?

There is nothing wrong with not knowing and open to learning but your statement lauding your qualifications to trump another's opinion on the matter looks rather silly in light of your question regarding the nature of the GRU.

I offer this as constructive criticism. Nothing more, nothing less.

As the years go on you may do well by remembering these words controversially attributed to Sir Winston Churchill...

If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain

Winston Churchill? Oh you mean the son of Jack the Ripper? lol nice source, but Bush Jr. probably is more relevant, of the murderous hei type, to these ahem members on ATS lol

Oh, really? 6 million men, women and children have been killed by US and Allied Forces since 11 Sep 2001?

Interesting. And you believe this figure to be correct?

That's what I thought. How about a source or two to back up that claim? Remember, you said that 6,000,000 people have been killed directly by US or Allied Forces.

No one knows how many people have been killed. Who would know? What are we measuring anyway, when we talk about how many people we, the US and allies, are killing? Are we totally insane?
Life means nothing, if 100,000 lives are nothing, but 6 million suddenly becomes significant.
Children are suffering because of the western corporatism that spreads death and destruction in its wake. Somehow we pretend it is okay to destroy people because we are convinced that they are "bad". What does that make us? Who have we saved?
Maybe it is not 6 million. Maybe it is far more than that. What damn difference does it make? Hold a baby in your hands and you will care about ONE goddam child, if nothing else.

Originally posted by fonenyc

Yep, my point is that I want to see a source that proves that 6 million civilians were killed by US and Allied Forces.

My point is: Where are your sources to back up the claim that US and Allied Forces have killed 6 million men, women and children in the Middle East.

Well, at least it wasn't that BS Lancet Survey that was taken a few years back. The one that had questionable sources and methods.

What's your point? All those people are still dead because we decided to invade their country.

Without getting this thread too far off track, how about considering this? How many innocent women and children have been killed by insurgents? How many of these innocents have been blown up by car bombs on the way to the market?

Posters on ATS get all fired up about civilian deaths (and they should), but only when it comes to anyone killed by the US.

Civilians that are murdered by insurgents don't get a passing thought on ATS. Unless it's to somehow turn the blame around to the US.

So, what you're saying is this:

Civilians killed by a US Missile strike = It's the fault of the US.

Civilians killed in a market by a carbomb set off by insurgents = It's the fault of the US.
