US soldier shoots Bengal tiger in Baghdad zoo
11/11/2004 10:36
Drunken party leads to slaughter of rare animal
After the acts of torture, of rape, of abuse of power, of war crimes, of
mass murder, the fact that a rare tiger is shot in its cage in Baghdad
zoo comes as no surprise.
Yet another horrific incident in the nightmare called George Bush's
personal war against anything that moves, or is a civilian
infra-structure, in Iraq. This time it is not a hospital, nor a school,
nor a cluster bomb dropped near a residential area, nor an artillery
shell lobbed into the middle of a happy family gathering, nor a Mosque.
It is Baghdad zoo.
The "insurgent" in this case was a defenseless Bengal Tiger, locked up
in its cage, shot dead by a drunken American soldier. What fun. What a
brave soldier.
In an event similar to that made famous by the great American heroine,
Lynndie England, a group of drunken American soldiers entered Baghdad
zoo last Thursday night, according to a report released by AFP.
Adel Salman Musa told this agency that one of the group entered the
tiger's cage and started teasing it, whereby the animal attacked him,
injuring his hand and arm. One of the other soldiers opened fire on the
animal, killing it.
The Bengal Tiger is an endangered species, numbering between 3.000 and
4.500 in the wild. How it is possible that the US Armed Forces continue
to run riot in such shocking acts of cruelty, after what happened at Abu
Ghraib and elsewhere, defies logic.
Under international law, Washington is liable, accountable and
responsible for the actions of this rabble and those in command have to
pay reparations for any illegal acts committed. The slaughtering of a
tiger, when compared to the long list of war crimes already perpetrated,
is just one more incident to add to the epitaph of the Bush regime.
After six-year-old children have their limbs blasted off them for being
"insurgents", now a defenseless animal in a cage is shot. For being a
terrorist?
Freedom and democracy, winning hearts and minds by slaughtering children
and civilians, raping women, torturing prisoners and now, massacring an
animal of a species in danger of extinction locked up in a cage without
any hope to protect itself.

Puhleeeze! My God. Do you have proof? Or is this just in Your Own Little
World, where you just assume the worst, because you can't possibly imagine
the majority of the people in Iraq are grateful for the end of Saddam's
reighn? (Which, BTW, they are...)

Oh, screw that. What did it taste like? Did they even have the decency to
eat it? Tigers are pure carnivores, which is supposed to make them taste
gamey, like lion meat.

Do what I do: talk to servicemen, either in person or on-line. They will
gladly tell you how much over 70% of the Iraqi people love what they're
doing. Soory, can't post a link for that; you'll just have to find some
for yourself. Talking to people is really great, you know. You get all
kinds of insight that sitting in front of a terminal just doesn't give you.
Unfortunately, when you talk to people, there just aren't any links. But
hey, there are planty of servicepeople out there who will *gladly* share
their experiences with you, unless you call them liars or say they make
false claims. I don't *need* to lie, 'cause I know what I know right from
the horse's mouth.
I suggest you have the discussion of False Claims with the original poster
who saw fit to interject his little commentary in the original post. So
much SPIN, I'm dizzy... |

Hey joe - have you been keeping up with the news for the last 2 years?
"KP" duty has been outsourced to a contractor. I suspect any "KP" duty
performed by active duty military would be contract administration -
yeah - that would really be a punishment - a desk job where no one is
shooting at you.

The original poster made a claim that can't be supported. It's easy
to claim thing you want to believe, but a little harder to provide
some objective proof of said claim.
I can appreciate you taking the time to talk to soldiers who have
been, or are there. But, getting the opinion of a soldier is in no
way unbiased, or scientific. If the origianal poster had said he's
talked to soldiers that were there and they claim the majority are
happy with what's happening, fine.
