American soldiers are thieves...
 

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A year after the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq, items touted as having come from Saddam's palaces have turned up for sale on the auction Web site eBay.

These items should be confiscated and returned to Iraq at the expense of these looters. The soldiers responsible should be thrown out of the armed forces.

sound like a familiar movie that Clooney did in the Gulf War era.. Three Kings?

three kings baby

Mmmm... I'll have to check it out.

Missed that one somehow.

What a bunch of cock suckers... they won't get charged with anything though. Afterall, Bush will have the final say. heh.

LoL...look at this idiot. hahaha. I wouldn't want an idiot like this in my Army...

fools looting the country they are supposed to be helping.

hah. who ever tells you that the US is in IRAQ to help Iraqi's is lying to you. The US is there to help themselves. That's the bottom line.

may allah smite vengence upon thee

That Clooney movie was pretty good!

"We didn't think we were going to be able to get them home, but they said we could take 10 items," Dearinger said

yeah

you go and risk your life, you can grab a few books or robes, no problem with me.

their faces will melt off like at the end of indiana jones...

allah doesn't protect tyrants.

Hmmmmm... the armed forces or garbage collection?

The choice must have been a difficult one for this monkey.

I would have done the same thing

My cousin sent back an Iraqi gun. I was just at the shooting range with it last night. Not very good accuracy, but damn it was fun shooting at the camel jockey targets he sent with it.

What about Iraqi freedom :1orglaugh

I'm all for tha P&P! Long live pillaging and plundering!:thumbsup

Rape and pillage has always been part of the attraction to the soldier life. This goes back thousands of years, in fact in some cases the only way to raise an army was the promise of loot and booty. This is why it was always easier to raise an invading army then to gather a defensive force ie. the reason Vikings were so succesful.

I don't condone the behaviour but this is the sort of thing that will never change and to think that American soldiers, an all volunteer force, are any different than the millions before them is a bit naive :2 cents:

Goodluck to them. Atleast they got some nice free advertising from CNN.

:Graucho

They even rape their own female soldiers.

American soldiers are brutal.

"WITHOUT MY RIFLE I AM USELESS"

hey at least they can admit that!



:glugglug

Lets see how you feel about theft after someone rips off your shit.

I admit it's hardly surprising... I'm sure theft, rape and baby killing come naturally to these thugs.

even better.

baby rape.

yep exactly

It's typical amongst Americans! Haven't you heard about the Cincinnati riots? Terrible!

My grand[a came back from WWII with tons of Nazi memorabilia.. swords, daggers, etc.

was that wrong too?

I don't think taking anything of real value is right, but come on.. old carpets and tore up silverware? It's trash that would have been lost in the rubble.

Did you hear how they took all of the marble and gold from the palaces to use and give back to the Iraqi people in the rebuilding process? I suppose that was wrong too?

I'm sure American troops are among the more civilized armies to fight a war, and at least there are penalties that are actually enforced unlike many other armies, current and past..:2 cents:

Sickening and disgusting...but hardly surprising.

The soldiers fight...for little or no money...sometimes they deserve perks for protecting our country. But to sell things like that on ebay? I mean, c'mon...soldiers may be strong, but they're not the brightest.

You act as if this is some thing that is exclusive to the American Armed Forces. Seriously, on the day Berlin fell 80,000 cases of rape were reported, and you act as if stealing some of Saddam's crap is the work of the devilish American thugs.

I am not for the war, but I do honestly respect those who are in it. I realise many of them are 'brainwashed', and not too intelligent, but I also realise that they are the people who put their lives on the line for what they believe in.

The way you come off in this thread is quite the opposite to this. You refer to the American armed forces in a manner that would suggest you believe they are all thugs and thieves, and thus not worthy on any respect.

what do you expect from someone who risk their lives for $1500 a month. Hell everytime i go out of town i like to bring back something.

Its a tradition to bring back something from war and tell a story to your grandchildren about it

Yeah, I'm sure that if roles were reversed there would be Iraqi gangbangs on an hourly basis in your subdivision! What you have to realize is that the people of Iraq didn't have any "shit" to rip off! Everything that was taken was from Presidential Palaces and other Dictator dream homes! It's not the 60's anymore so get over it, hippie.

I call it the way I see it and that's the bottom line.

The fall of Berlin was almost 60 years ago... this shit is happening right now. It's time to crack down and make some changes.

Those of you bashing the soldiers who are over there fighting for your right to sit here and spew shit are just fucked. These men & women fight for our country and you dog them, move out of the country and go live in france you fucks.

Support your country, one day it could be your son or daughter fighting for your right to live freely.

i have family there, do you?

supporting my country has nothing to do with this war.

:glugglug

Iraq was never a threat to my freedom dipshit.

These soldiers are nothing more than thugs and common thieves.

Fuck them.

Blacks are also thieves and thugs. Just calling it as I see it. But I guess there is something wrong with this statement?

What does a war in the middle east have to do with my freedom?

I'll jack your ass like a looter in a riot.

Perhaps you could be a bit more specific.

As a matter of fact I do have family there and I served in the military during the first gulf war, although I did not visit Iraq I would have defended my country completely. Supporting your country has everything to do with this war, do you not remember September 11th? Too many of you believe this war had something to do with oil or some other bullshit, while it may have, it also had to do with removing a brutal dictator from power who killed thousands. As a matter of fact last week was the anniversary of what the Kurds called Bloody Friday if I remember right which is when Saddam dropped chemical bombs on the kurds and killed thousands, mostly women and children.

Stop thinking about yourselves and start thinking about the thousands who would have died if we didnt do something. Helping put a stop to Saddams reign of power was a good thing wether you believe it or not, shit like what happened in Spain and Baghdad would be happening no matter what it was just a matter of timing, the terrorists are threatened as they know we have a leader who wont take any shit in office.

funny, ironic and still serious......allthough I agree this kind is
not done......but what about all that oil what is being looted?
IMHO that's far worse than a bunch of souveniers that have
been taken.....but yeah even that is something which should
not have happened......kinda like this whole war thing.....at
least not for the reasons that were used to attack.....

You come off in a manner that suggests you are sterotyping all American soldiers as basically bad. I figure this is a result of your extreme opposition to the war, as opposed to the reality of the situation. If I were to create a similar thread on here in which I (in as many words) suggested almost all blacks were thugs and thieves I have no doubt you would jump on my back with regards to it.

Your armed forces and political leaders are no better.

Ever hear of the My Lai massacre? 514 Vietnamese civilians murdered by U.S. soldiers in one day, mostly women, children and the elderly. Not one shot was fired at U.S. troops.

with countless US soldiers who died during the American led war in IRaq,
I don't think Sadam's riches is not enough
to pay the casualties of war. If I was among the soldiers who fought Saddam's regime, i think its not wrong to steal from them.. every war has its expense even looting.

good for you, yeah every american family should have to donate at LEAST one or two members of their immediate family, hell, it's only meat.

no it doesnt.

you run your mouth on a message board about a war you didnt vote on, just a rock in a stream, you go with the flow.

yeah i do, but sept 11th has absolutely nothing to do with iraq.

you need to read this.

http://www.house.gov/reform/min/pdfs...record_rep.pdf

I can see why you would tie the two events (war and sept 11th) together, They fed you Saddam instead of Satruday Morning cartoons.

yeah yeah yeah patriot.

learn about peak oil and then tell me it has nothing to do with oil. I laugh in your face at the concept of it not being so.

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...F-8&q=peak+oil

While it may be noble to do so, I dont feel like policing the world. I am not on this earth to protect people, I am here to live my life. "Do As Thou Wilt" I cant care any less. You go ahead and die for Kuwait, errr, I mean oil, ill buy you a drink when you get back mr soldier guy, please dont rape any women during your stay Hawkeye.

quit bringing up Spain and Baghdad, these things have only happened because Americans are their, and Spain wouldnt have been bombed unless we went to war.

The events you use as a pivot are in existence because of the actions you are fopr (war) or as you sheep call it, the "removal of a powerwful and evil dictator"

Ill burn your church when the revolution begins.

see you through the smoke.

Fletch you are too much man, get off the pipe and use some of those brain cells. No one said that people are only MEAT, you are now putting words into my mouth in order to try and make yourself look intelligent.

Secondly you too are running your mouth on a message board, did you ever serve in the US Military? Being a veteran I think I have every right to voice my opinion especially since I served during a democratic presidency.

Why should I stop bringing up Spain & Baghdad? Becauses leftists like you think it was a sin to invade iraq? It is all terror, we are part of a unified coalition to put and end to terror, just because it was not against our people should we stop? Spain and Baghdad just prove a point that these people will stop at nothing to prove they will die for their cause regardless of the number of innocent lives they take.

I am sure I can search the web and find all kinds of material that proves my point as well. The fact of the matter is that the war on terror is not just a US thing, it is a world thing, and we like many other countries should support each other to fight it.

Do you not remember how many US soldiers were tortured, beaten, killed and are still not home today because of unethical practices of the vietnamese army?

People are massacared everyday on both sides, its the greater good wether you think about it realistically or not. As much as it sucks to lose 1 person (which I would never want to happen) people will die in war, we lost a lot of good men in Vietname while people like John Kerry stood up with Hanoi Jane who ratted out the american troops who passed her SSN's to fight against the war. It's people like John Kerry who got US soldiers killed when they didnt stand up for their country.
