Perry Defends Marines Who Urinated On Corpses

Rick Perry accused the Obama administration of "over-the-top rhetoric" and "disdain for the military" in its condemnation of a video that purportedly shows Marines urinating on dead bodies in Afghanistan.

Its not good but it's understandable Id piss on them too but I wouldnt' videotape it , That was stupid

You have to ask yourself, did they not know this would cause problem when they video taped it and posted it on the internet?

I smell something funny but it not urine

SubVert Progress   January 15th, 2012 - 9:09 am

Perry continues to try and make himself relevant.
I like you Rick, just not for President.
I have " I am going to abandon free market principles to save the free market" and " we just need a guest worker program" ricocheting around in my brain. The Texas accent brings up negative connotations

ShawnSen   January 15th, 2012 - 9:13 am

Perry is relevant, He is still in the primary for President

What's more relevant? Romney's father
Its not pretty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Romney

There is NO WAY anyone is going to be able to defend Romney's kin
Romney's grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children because of the federal government's opposition to polygamy.[1]"

According to the msm, GWB was responsible for the "crimes" of Abu Ghraib prison.
We heard this mantra repeated by the msm hundreds, no, thousands of times – for months.
Using the same argument, the Commander in Chief – Barak Hussein Obama – is directly to blame for the actions of these four Marines and needs to be held accountable in an international courtroom.

Well at least Perry is not attacking capitalism anymore!

I found it telling that even two leftists like Rob Reiner and Bill Maher were not that freaked out by this, but Debbie Wasserman Shultz had to express her faux outrage over the issue. Okay Debbie, I guess we should blame the President then because of course he creates the climate under which these Marines operate–so if anyone is to blame he is. http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/01/congr...

Col West had it right yesterday. But Perry has to know this fat bi itch is just trying to bash him; & the Marines as well.

But this CIC & his side kick have prosecuted Marines and Seals before. Like the Seal 6 member who punch the terrorist who hung the Black Water guy, who had been an active Marine and hung the mutilated body over the bridge in Fallujah and set it on fire. The Seal operator punch the a hole at capturing him. And the U S moron prosecuted him.

Guess the fat b itch would not talk about that. Oh yea, Perry is in SC, kind of near Ft Bragg, the home of Spec Ops

DuraMater   January 15th, 2012 - 9:34 am

Somewhat more colorful (I enjoy and delight Col. West's assessments) but consistent with Gov. Perry's statements and the thoughts of a good many Americans too.

Frankly, I have no problem with a message to enemies which clearly states, "You mess with America and we will show no mercy". Is there an expectation of more honorable behavior toward the dead in our military and in our culture? Well, yes and history is replete with examples of same as well. But I'm with both Col./ West and Gov. Perry on this matter as it relates to the administrations formal response. More lillie livered appeasement taking this country further down the road to subservience to monsters of the world is an example of the enemy within.

I'm an Iraq combat vet and I think anyone and everyone that 1) videotapes 2) posts online trophy videos of dead Iraqis/Taliban are in need of mental help and need to be punished by the UCMJ. The only problem I have with pissing on dead Taliban is that some dumb $#%@ videotaped it and then posted it online. Whoever that jerk is needs to fall on his sword in my opinion because he screwed his buddies and dishonored the Corps.

That being said , war is hell. In the bible God had David cutoff and collect in bags the 'manhoods' of the Philistines he massacred and then David hand delivered the bag to Saul.

The outrage by the Obama administration and the MSM is sickening. I don't remember Obama or Hilary ever getting so upset when the body of that Marine in Somala was dragged, naked through the streets of Mogadishu where Somalis triumphantly mutilated and desecrated it for all the world to see.

say_no_to_libs   January 15th, 2012 - 10:34 am

he (or any rational being asked the same question) should have said "let me ask you a question: why do media people such as yourself harp on stories like this that are spun to make the American military look bad and make this story into something bigger than it is?"

Then when her response is something stupid like "well this is a story that everyone is reporting and so it is newsworthy, but I want to get back to what you would do if this happened under your watch" he should say:

"since you wouldn't answer my question I will answer it for you: media people such as yourself lean to the left and therefore have a certain disdain for the American military and that is why you elevate stories like this. The very fact that you do this is what causes diminished opinion of our country around the world, and the American people are sick and tired of it. What I would do as president in every situation is to support and uphold the constitution, and that is what I believe the news media should be focused on is going back to its constitutional mandate to be impartial watchdogs of the government, something you have not done when it comes to the Obama administration and the numerous flagrant constitutional violations it has engaged in such as Solyndra and Fast and Furious. Or perhaps we could discuss the atrocious situation with the national debt instead. We have so many large issues to address in this country but your focusing on this one is distracting us from solving our most severe problems."

what is so infuriating to me is that the leftist media are constantly going on offensive after the GOP or anyone who disagrees with them, and by doing this they set the narrative of what the country is talking about and what becomes important to your average non-politico voter. GOPers are putting themselves out there to be interviewed and have polite discourse with these media wolves in sheep's clothing. When will they learn!?!?! They must fight back against the leftist media attack machine! Just like Reagan said, their answer should be "THERE YOU GO AGAIN" every time.

I am so galled even as I think more and more about this. I mean how about "THE CRAZY IRANIAN DICTATOR IS DEVELOPING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE HIS STATED GOAL OF WIPING ISRAEL OFF THE MAP. Can we please not waste our time talking about some marines pi$$ing on some terrorist corpses?"

That's another thing. Why on earth is it okay to KILL a taliban enemy but not okay to PISS on him after he's dead?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!? Our world is so upside down :(

Several posts for this Rick Perry interview video offer very interesting theories regarding the suspicious timing of the release of the "tinkle" story. Here is yet another interesting theory about that dubious release timing:

A few questions presented in the following link simply cannot be ignored… "Who leaked the marine video? That is the real story. The timing of its release is deliberate and points to the ugliest of motives."

"Our troops are coming home, and this story breaks? Now? Why? So that our troops have a Vietnam welcome? So that the American people will rebuke our returning soldiers? The victory tinkle took place in Spring or Summer of 2011. Why now?"

Over reaction by the administration will have to be rescinded. These Marines, it turns out,belong to a religious order and were collectively conducting a ritual anointing of the dead. Some religious practices are not well understood or appreciated in all cultures but according to our Supreme Court,it's all good when considered in the context of first amendment protection of free speech and free expression of one's religion. Just think of this act as being a variation on honor killing, beheading of infidels, Santoria sacrifices and Westboro protests at American military funerals.

All you bigots crying foul over this sacred ritualistic act by the Marines are out of line. Now don't you feel ashamed?

This tinkle "story" had appeared close on the heels of a real story from 1-9-2012 that was actually worth reporting (…to help keep this whole thing in perspective….)

"An Afghan soldier turned his gun on American military personnel while they were playing volleyball at a camp in southern Afghanistan, killing one and wounding three others before being fatally shot, the Afghan police said on Monday."

Robert Spencer begins this notice with "As I have said many times in the context of many similar incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist. This is yet more fruit of the unwillingness to make even a cursory attempt to take that fact into account."

That was only in NH where he never campaigned … sigh.

He was at 6% in SC where Reuters polled only 1/3 Republicans plus 1/3 Independents and 1/3 Democrats to find out who Republicans want for their nominee … huh?

Remember that the Iowa caucus-circus was 60% non-Republicans and those non-Republicans voted mostly for for Paul and Romney, with some for Santorum. NH was reportedly 40% non-Republicans and they also went mostly for Paul and Romney. It will be nice if the RNC would figure out that ONLY REPUBLICANS should choose the Republican nominee. We don't need Democrats voting for the least-electable and Independents voting liberal/Libertarian. It is a Republican Primary – the others need to butt-out.

I understand that legitimate polls of likely SC Primary voters show Romney falling, Paul stuck, Gingrich falling, Santorum stuck, and Perry rising.

Perry is a military veteran, the increasingly-conservative governor of Texas for 11 years and through two tough re-election campaigns, and a no excuses kind of guy (his recent major back surgery just prior to his joining the campaign was still troubling him – but he won't use that reason for the three 10-30 second flubs in the first three debates that the Romney-media and MSM have used to endlessly slander him).

None of which satisfies muslim post mortem care customs. Those particular muslims in that particular place seemed to think it was a great idea. And don't even get me started on the way our people were treated in Somalia.

Not if you're a Republican or conservative.

It's not (or shouldn't be) about not offending the Taliban. It's about remaining noble and honorable in the face of evil and barbarism. Fight to win, kill the enemy, show no weakness, but don't bother desecrating the dead. Good grief, you already killed them. American soldiers should be better than the Taliban, both militarily, in courage, and in behavior. There's no need to engage them in a contest of who can most insult the other through barbaric acts upon the enemy's dead.

Perry was not defending them. He simply stated that children like these little 13 year old marines sometimes do stupid things that adults like him know better than getting caught doing… Or something like that…

Don't worry cons. If you remember, before 1989, Perry was a good Democrat. You can blame his brain damage on that :D

But Perry is one of the few in the race that did serve his country. You have to give the guy credit for that.

It's uncanny how he shares that beady-eye stare with the self-described "compassionate conservative", too.

"Following a mid-1967 remark that his earlier support for the Vietnam War had been due to a "brainwashing" by U.S. military and diplomatic officials in Vietnam, his campaign faltered even more, and he withdrew from the contest in early 1968"

Quote from wikipedia article.

haha, Romney's dad admits to being "brainwashed".
No wonder he fizzled out in his run for president.

Excellent point. They didn't look like they were watching the camera. The photo may have been taken by some one hiding. For whatever reason.

You're not good enough to lick the sand from a Marine's combat boots.

Thank you Governor.
Piss on them.

It's the "except" part that drives the Paul-Bot's NUTS

Real simple logic at work here.

If you don't want to get pissed on, then don't fight with a U.S. Marine.

The picture is EVERYWHERE because of people like Crowley…they look for any time they can take a shot at our brave military…

A good two-minute case study in the MFM. She asks a loaded question. He attempts to answer it. She interrupts him. He stops. She condescends to allow him to finish his thought. He does. She completely ignores his answer and instead stutters and stammers to come up with another way to ask the same question which permits her to grandiously sermonize as well as frame the exchange in such a way to defend Obama — all the while affecting "objectivity". He answers the same question in the same way. I've no doubt if the clip had run on longer she would have found a third way to contort the same question to drive home her agenda. Why can't Perry and the rest ever figure this game out?

Don't get me wrong, I love Texas, and I like Rick, but the wounds from GWB haven't quite healed yet. Any candidate that packs a gun is ok with me. I just don't think he is ready for prime time.
