Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on Sunday criticized the Obama administration for its “over-the-top rhetoric” in condemning a video that appears to show four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters.
Perry said on CNN’s “State of the Union” the administration’s reaction is indicative of its “disdain for the military.”
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have both strongly condemned the video, with Panetta calling it “utterly deplorable” and Clinton calling it “absolutely inconsistent with American values.” Both said those responsible will be held accountable, according to USA Today.
The Texas governor said the Marines involved “made a mistake” and should be reprimanded for it, but not get hit with criminal charges.
“18, 19-year-old kids make stupid mistakes all too often and that‘s what’s occurred here,” Perry said. “To call it a criminal act I think is over the top.”

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 11:16amI would like to know WHO released this video for world- wide exposure and its tsunami of anti-American rhetoric. Have a feeling it was some Far Left , Obama person. Not supporting the actions being seen in this 29 second video, but would love to know the motivation behind its release which seems like a typical move by the I Hate America Club . Who released this ? Representative Issa, is this is your purview to investigate ?

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 11:27amI think we should avoid war that is not an immediate threat to us as much as possible, but on the other hand i have to agree with Alen West….and i guess even Perry…hahaha, War is hell. And i would even go a step further and say I don’t even see a problem with taking trophies from the men who were just trying to kill them. I wouldn’t say desecrate the bodies….like taking fingers, but take that AK47.
For desecrating the bodies there should be a disciplinary action but to make them out to be criminals is just dumb. We don’t criminalize the criminals we have in D.C. right now.
For taking trophies….there should be no action taken at all….I don’t know what the rules are, but being the Pansie country we are now I am sure there are rules against it.

They have taken on the responsibility of defending me and you from an enemy who would see us all dead. They are MEN. Young? Yes. But MEN, nonetheless.
These men have had to live for months, if not years, with the constant threat of being killed. They have seen their best friend’s face get blown off! They have had their buddies blood on their own faces after the high-power rifle blew their friends brains out. They have had to carry their buddies to safety after their buddies’ legs were blown off.
So, berating and second-guessing them is as inappropriate as their actions were.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 1:18pmThe despoiling of bodies during war is clearly an infringement as outlined both in the 1906 and 1947 statues of THE GENEVA CONVENTION.
The US Prides itself in having the best and most professional military. These 3 guys were wrong, they literally pissed on the professionalism and basic moral tenants of the Geneva Convention observed by the 99% of the men and women who serve this country honorably. With that, whatever standards are set in the court of Military Rules should be observed. For Perry to dismiss as youthful indiscretion as if a harmless prank, he should damn well know better that the US is peerless in time of war both in conduct on and off the battlefield. That is why we are BETTER than any and everyone else. This is why your cowboy is a failure (one of many)

You also don’t seem to understand that Bush lied when he claimed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq…and that is why we are in this war. This war has nothing to do with honor or protecting our country, the only thing that this war has done is spend our tax dollars and make rich people richer. All the rich want to do is make money, they don’t care whose children have to die, as long as it’s not their children. Ever hear of deferment? It‘s time for you and everyone like you to open your closed little minds and realize what’s really going on.

Any act by any person that does not further the progressive socialist agenda is a crime.
Any act by any person to further the progressive socialist agenda can not be deemed a crime.
Example: ATF buys guns from a gun dealer under the guise of a government sting operation. Gun dealer believes he is assisting the government in a sting operation.
ATF illegally allows the guns to go to Mexico and fall into the hands of Mexican drug dealers and smugglers.
Who is the criminal?
The gun dealer for selling guns to the ATF, even though what happened after the ATF received the guns was completely out of his control.
What was the progressive spin on this situation. We needed to prove that guns sold in the US were being taken to Mexico and being sold the Mexican drug gangs. More reason why these types of arms should not be sold by dealers.
No mention of the illegal acts of the ATF for allowing the guns to go across the border. That’s not a crime because it furthered their agenda. No mention of the border patrol officer that was murdered by an illegal who was able to obtain one of the weapons purchased by the ATF.
We have set back for the last 50 years and allowed crimes against the people to be committed on a daily basis, believing the progressive socialist and their media propaganda at every turn.
If we don’t change the direction of our country now, it will be too late.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:58amPerry is right on this, but when, when, WHEN are people going to stop taking videos of their idiotic behavior? Abu Graib is a prime example, and this is another. As Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:56amThis administration comes unglued when our military does something to our enemies (yes, enemies), but blithely blows it off when they do something to our military (beheadings, dragging through the streets of Mogadishu). Let the military discipline these men. Our dear leaders in Washington should worry about their own inappropriate behavior and leave the military to do its job. Those in DC get a slap on the wrist for criminal behavior. The last I heard, theft and corruption were crimes.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 9:56pmYou got that one right bro. The crimes and corruption that go on in Washington D.C. should be criminal activities, but nothing happens, they continue to get all the perks, their retirement, all medical etc.
Report Post »The things Bill & Hill Clinton did is probably worse than what these brave marines did.
As I remember, the Clinton admin. super glued all the keys on computers, stole furniture, and made a
mess of the White House when they left. That’s nothing compared to the illicit activities that went on at that time. Our men take a whiz and all hell breaks loose. Not a good thing to do,but….give ‘em a break. War is Hell! It changes peoples perspective, plus having to deal with it for months on end.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:51amFunny how under Bush’s presidency the media and the libs considered Bush to be responsible for Abu Ghraib. After all, Bush was the Commander-in-Chief. Didn’t Donald Rumsfeld resign because of this? Panetta and Clinton need to look in the White House for those who are responsible, unless there is a double standard – AGAIN.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:51amFor those of you who have never felt the release of the emotions after a fight for your lives in combat, step back for a moment and realize many of our troops have been ask to stay in this evironment for many months without relief and the toll it takes on thier capacity to focus and to stay alert to every situation is sometimes placed in question when that stree finally is released! Please I beg you to feel what they might have felt at that moment of weakness and strenght! As a Sergeants Major E-9 I, trained them to kill, they do it better than anyone can in the world now they need us again to debrief there accomplishments with love and devotion of a grateful nation, not a bunch of hypocrits wanting to be elected in 2012!

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:51amEveryone needs to back off on these troops. You are in a different psychological state of mind when you are in a fight to the death. They are doing what they were trained to do, hate their enemy so they can kill them. Human beings can’t just turn on and off that type of emotion. If these troops are prosecuted it just makes our combat troops that much more psychologically more vulnerable. Hurting the troop moral will get them killed. I don‘t expect everyone that hasn’t been in combat to understand, but you can listen to the ones who have.
Report Post »Thank you, Mr. Perry for your support for these Marines. Our civilian leaders need to protect our troops so that they can protect Americans.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:50amThank you Governor Perry for standing up for these young MEN. These are not children, they are men in combat and they have seen things best left to the imagination of the rest of us.
Panetta and Clinton should stay out of this and let the Marines handle it.
When the federal government stops kowtowing to the Muslims and start standing up for our young men that they send into these war zones I’ll start paying attention to the likes of Hillary Clinton.
God bless our men and women in uniform and God please protect our combat soldiers. Amen

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 10:50amI am appalled by this “outrage” of both the Obama administration and the Afghan government. Apparently, they are more concerned with an inappropriate peeing than Taliban disguising themselves as civilians or using women and children as bombers to blow up non-combatants. While I think the incident itself shows there are some serious leadership lapses, nothing shown rises to the level of many the atrocities committed against US and coalition troops and civilians.
I would rather have seen WOMEN peeing on them, now THAT would have caused the liberals to be conflicted!

Report Post »ChadFelixG
Posted on January 15, 2012 at 4:20pmWhy is it so deplorable?
We are dealing with an enemy that believes 110% that they are superior to everyone else and are willing to murder us in brutal ways to prove it.
They have centuries of honor codes that only respond to force and humilation. We think that because we value sportsmanship that they will be wowed by our generous respect?
This is why we are losing. Our leaders bow to theirs, they apologize to them for every offense and they turn our military heros into little more than security guards.
We NEED to show them who is in charge and we NEED to knock them down a few notches.
Otherwise we will spend the rest of our lives listening to talking heads discuss “why they hate us” with boring lectures on multiculturalism while they are busy blowing us up one country at a time.
