SHOCK: U.S. Soldiers Allegedly Killed Afghan Civilians, Kept Body Parts As Trophies (Investigative Report)

Very ugly details.

The cost of the Afghan War is approximately $15 billion per month.  And it's all borrowed.  There are more intelligent uses for tax dollars.  I have a novel idea.  Let's get the hell out of Afghanistan.

##

A dozen U.S. soldiers are charged with organizing a secret "kill team" which allegedly murdered Afghan civilians at random and cut fingers and other body parts from corpses as trophies, according to new documents released by the U.S. military.

According to news reports, details in the charging documents released Wednesday shed new light on the cases against 12 soldiers who served a year in southern Afghanistan with a Stryker infantry brigade.

The most serious accusations involve five soldiers -- Calvin Gibbs, Adam Winfield, Jeremy Mortlock, Andrew Holmes and Michael Wagnon II -- who are said to have slain three Afghans earlier this year. According to reports, those men would likely be charged with premeditated murder, but may face additional charges relating to obstructing justice, possessing human body parts and retaining mortar rounds for personal use.

Authorities allege that Gibbs kept finger bones, leg bones and a tooth from the Afghan corpses, while Wagnon is said to have kept a skull. The remaining seven soldiers are charged with participating in the cover-up, which included smoking hashish stolen from the civilians, taking photos of the corpses and lying to investigators about their deaths.

Marine Walks Away From Shot to Helmet in Afghanistan

Well, Obama and his thug administration were tested again by the ground zero victory mosque and the burning the Islamic bible controversy. Yes, rack up another failure for poor old Barry Obama. He is now batting close to what pitchers average at the plate. It brings me back to the fact that it is darn near impossible to fail out of Harvard. That is true for the “typical white person” like maybe Obama’s white grandparents. Imagine how some of these socialist hard on professors would have treated someone as unique as Barack (said how Maya says it prior to her second fancy vote my brother into office video). I want to help the guy, really. He should have a beer summit with the ground zero victory mosque imam and the it’s not news pastor from Florida. What beer you ask? Hmmmm, maybe a nice Italian beer like Peroni. I know that the imam probably doesn’t drink, ummm, right. So, why has Obama failed again? Oh my, I have been giving that answer for quite some time. He is a fraud and a deceiver. By the way, why didn’t Obama just send Matt Damon to fix this mess? He could give both parties the dinosaur speech he gave Sarah Palin. Matt doesn’t know anything about Sarah Palin and is very upset that the actuary tables show that the hockey mom from Alaska thinks dinosaurs and man broke bread together. Matt will set them both straight.

Yes, it is my favorite youtube video. Dr. P, do you think Matt has any opinions about man dune buggy(ing) on the moon…

CHEYENNE -- The founder of the Wyoming Tyranny Response Team plans to burn a copy of the Quran on the steps of the State Capitol on Saturday.

Duncan Philp said he will protest the location of a proposed Islamic Center near Ground Zero in New York City. He also will protest President Barack Obama's support for the location.

"I feel Obama is being disingenuous when he pretends he supports religious liberties," Philp said. "(The Muslims) are not building that mosque out of love for my culture or love of the victims of 9-11 but for political reasons."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Will he or won't he?

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11 with a speech Friday in New York vowing to keep up the fight against terrorists and to “to enlist the nation in its own collective security.”

“We can’t guarantee there won’t be another successful terrorist attack,” Napolitano will tell first responders and emergency workers. “The threats we face are evolving, and enemies like Al Qaeda and its affiliates are determined. … Today, on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history, I can pledge to you this: We will do everything in our power to prevent attacks and to prepare ourselves.”

The NYPD has called up "an army of cops" to handle rival protests expected to draw thousands to the site of the planned Ground Zero mosque on the anniversary of 9/11, sources said yesterday.

"We want to keep everyone in their corners. You don't want the opposing sides to clash," an NYPD official told The Post. "All eyes are going to be on New York City that day. No one wants to see a fight on Sept. 11."

With as many as 4,000 riled-up demonstrators expected to pack into two blocks of Park Place between West Broadway and Broadway -- the site of the proposed mosque -- the department is sparing no expense to keep the peace, the official said.

Silly old Fred already pickets U.S. soldiers funerals, now he wants to become Bin Laden's number 1 recruiter. Why don't we just deport this useless eater to Afghanistan where he belongs and let him break bread with his true masters.
