Somebody must have..he didn't get that stupid on his own.

I think a person who can lie to themselves can lie to anybody. Kyle apparently was lying to himself that the people he was murdering were evil people. That is what had to do to morally justify the killing he was doing to escape the guilt he would otherwise feel.

They were evil..and as he pointed out frequently..they were savages.

I'm always glad when you respond with your calm, measured reason to insane blatherings before I have a change to post something using language I will later regret.

I'd say he had it exactly backward. We were the ones that invaded their country and killed about a million people.

No, can you? There are a lot of different estimates, this one says over a million.

You're sure there are a million but you can't even name 10?

How about 1? Can you name 1?

You're 0 for 1.

He was tried and put to death by free Iraqis.

[Red Oak]

Plan-0 you couldn't even name Usay & Pusay ?

Bwaaahaaahaaaaa !

You mean the ones we hadn't killed yet?

[planosteve]

Bwaaahaaahaaaaa !

I also don't know the names of any of the 500,000 Iraqi children that died as a result of US sanctions that Madeline Albright
said was "worth it".

"If you kill more than dozen people as a sniper and you aren’t guilty of murdering innocent civilians, I would be very surprised. If you are insane enough to convince yourself, let’s say you are in Afghanistan or Iraq, countries where it is legal for any civilian to carry a weapon and no sane person would go outside without one, that shooting “armed Muslims” makes you a hero, you are both a liar and a fool. You are probably also a psychopath."

"During one “ambush” we killed 3 people, a woman, a child and someone over 70. They had one weapon, an unloaded and broken AK47"

"Sniper “talk” is largely mythology and, far too often, simply crazy."

"99% of talk about snipers is plain bull and mythology."

- Gordon Duff, Sr. Editor, Veterans Today, Marine sniper during the Viet Nam war.

I figured you had oil portraits of Usay and Pusay on the wall right next to Cindy Sheehan.
