A Statement from Holger on the WikiLeaks Video of the Apache Attack That Killed 2 Reuters Employees

Okay, the internet is abuzz about a now released video of an Apache crew's strike on insurgents in Baghdad in 2007 in which two Iraqi employees of Reuters were killed. I will NOT post the video here but will link to it below at LiveLeak. I will not disgrace this blog with the bullshit anti-American, anti-troops propaganda from the likes of WikiLeaks and Reuters.

Here's my statement on this controversial video:

I watched the video and I saw two Reuters employees (or so they were identified at the time) walking with a group of Iraqi men in which at least two of the members of that group were carrying AK-47's. There can be no question that there were at least two insurgents in that group with AK-47's. At the same time, when you hear the Apache crew call out the "rpg" - if you watch, you will see that weapon being readied and in the subsequent frames you will see that person peering around the corner of the building. This was a viable target for U.S. forces - a group of men with AK-47's in an area that has seen recent fire IS A VIABLE TARGET. Further, this spin put out by Reuters and WikiLeaks is typical of those suspect organizations - organizations that have both been investigated for fraudulent behavior. Don't buy the bullshit coming out of this video, people.

I want to just expound on something here. As most of you know, I will not link to Reuters here at this blog unless the story is sublinked at an outlet like Breitbart. I NEVER link directly to Reuters because that news service is a confirmed supporter of islamic terror groups worldwide. I might remind all of you that Reuters was the news service that purposely doctored photographs of supposed bombings by Israelis in Lebanon - in other words, they manipulated photos to make bombings by Israeli air craft appear worse than they were. Reuters was nailed for this illicit behavior - here's a reminder of the journalist integrity of Reuters from Zombietime.

Thus, it doesn't surprise me one bit that two Reuters employees were gathered in a group of insurgents and for that participation, they were killed. You hang with the enemy, you sometimes die.

As for WikiLeaks - there have been numerous investigations of that organization across Europe, America and Australia...CRIMINAL investigations, mind you.

By the way, here's the link to the WikiLeaks video at LiveLeak: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=42b_1270489420

If you think this is legitimate spin, I can direct you to about 100 Pallywood videos made by Hamas and about 3,000 made by jihadists for LiveLeak.
