We should slaughter ALL of the animals over there....Once we get off of our reliance on Oil, you'll think of Arabs as we do Africans now....WE DON'T!!

I'm sorry that wounded dissident criminal (he wasn't a "soldier") didn't pop a frag grenade and take you out with him. But I'm glad he didn't because it might have injured or killed those Marines. That would have been a loss. No one would have shed a tear for you. If we had to wait for dithering girly men like you to protect us, instead of those young heroes, we'd all be dead already. It's one thing to be a professional "voyeur", peeking at the world through your viewfinder, it's quite another to be a young combat trooper, on the raw edge after being wounded and seeing buddies killed by criminal dissident scum bags feigning death.



If that Marine is sanctioned in any way for doing what he was trained to do, assure his own survival and that of his fellow Marines, because of your film, we'll make sure the world NEVER forgets your name, and it'll be spoken by the "Band of Brothers" of all generations with the same disgust and derision as we utter the names "Fonda" and "Kerry."



When you walk with soldiers in the future, never consider yourself an equal to them. Understand you're nothing more than a pariah.



Semper Fi, Marines, from an Army buddy from the Big Red 1, '64-65. God keep you safe, from the enemy and from the enemies of freedom walking behind you with cameras in their hands.

What a disgrace you are.

The next time an injured American soldier is murdered in cold blood, remember who did it first, and YOU defended the act.



There are rules of war for a reason. If this were a legal war (and of course it isn't because Congress didn't declare one as required by the Constitution) there would be public trials in the world court, and Bush would be convicted publicly for condoning these kinds of atrocities. As it is, he is only convicted privately. Nonetheless, the world now views the American people as fascist imperialistic conquerors, and that is a shame. The thinking people realize that IN NO INSTANCE is the murder of an unarmed injured soldier within the rules of war.



I agree that we should support our troops...as long as they are protecting America. These troops aren't. They are protecting the interests of Amoco and Halliburton. When our troops are removed from the 170 countries where they don't belong, and are brought home to stop the ACTUAL INVASION of America (via the pourous Mexican border) THEN I'll support the troops. Until then, I blame each and every one for carrying unconstitutional orders, which is a violation of their respective sacred oaths.



Of course, GW has taken an oath (under penalty of death, no less) to a much scarier master than the American people, his is to the Skull & Bones. They would not impeach him for violating their wishes, they would kill him.



These words shall not be forgotten:

"It will be no defense to say 'I was just following orders." - G (DuhByuh) Bush



May he, and the New World Order fascists that control him obtain retribution for their crimes against God's creation, man.

If Kevin Sites was in wwII we would ALL be speaking Japenese, unless we were ordered not to speak then neither the press nor us would be speaking. When Al Killa's catch Kevin Sites he can have them video tape them cutting his head off.

Oppen your boca el chin music,Ben Franklin is right. My backyard Spanish is not as good as it was when I was raised in So Cal, but I hope you do not speak for Mexican Americans. I had to get out of that Southern Cal pit. I live in a state that has 15 times less population than LA County. They think we are hicks, we think they crap in their own nest. Adios Bend-A-ho Breath

Way to report the facts. All of these ignorant, 'shoot the messenger' types, will never have the ability to admit they have made, and supported, a failure. It takes a human to fail but it takes a man to admit it.

How many people talking about marines keep americans alive, that's not true its a lie, they are not fighting to protect lives, they are fighting to protect the interest of uncle Sam.

Im exhausting of stand that kind of shit. Why dont better adopt the multiralism over the unilateralism. I dont like the holy roman empire.

I was in the Marines long, long ago. I was wounded in Vietnam in 1971. I would have done the same thing that young marine did. Stay alive-kill the terrorist scum. You suck at making this an issue. Be careful you don't get in someone's way.

Ben Franklin would laugh at the pantywaists that are blaming America first. What a bunch of self loathing weirdos we have on the left. Go away..and take all the crapy "artists" with you- for NONE of you have done anything to make America what it is!



Next time you whould thank a Marine for your right to hypothesize art in the first place.

Roberto, you are afforded these feelings due to the horrors of war. Dedicated soldiers must do things the village people do not need to be part of. Inner city gang-sta is the basic principle, if you are not strong enough to defend it, it will be mine. It is that basic. Euro Whites came from the East. Had they not Asian Yellows would have come from the West, do you think they would have been nicer. Had Native Americans had better weapons and used them they would have found Peace. Peace is the use of better weapons since the first jaw bone was crushing a skull. Never think we are at the pinnacle of civility unless you are ready to get bent over by an aggressor. Eminen sucks and so does a shit load of art. Peace out.

Ben,



Um....are you serious? So we just went in pounding our chest and beating the drums of war for no good reason? Oh yeah, I forgot, all we've done is kill thousands of innocent people, steal their oil and find no WMD. Oh wait, none of that is really true is it. Just in the last few days we found 40 vial of a particula WMD (the type now escapes me). How do I know this? I ran across a picture of us finding it on USATODAY.COM. Oddly enoughly I have heard less than nothing from the mainstream meadia about this. I wonder why that is. I guess the media only cares about sex scandals or fake Bush documents. If we find either of those in Iraq I'm sure they will jump all over it. And let's not forget, Ben, that the poor, sweet, innocent victim was a brutal, hateful, TERRORIST! They are not "insurgents", they are wild animals. Why does the media insist upon making us the bad guy? Can you guess what the "victim" would have done had he come across one of our wounded shoulders? Let me help you out with that one Ben. There would be footage of that as well. Only the cowardly "victim" would be wearing a black hood and would be standing behind out blindfolded, cuffed soldier. This would go on for several weeks until we find his headless body. Yeah, we are clearly in the wrong.

I would like to thank Mr. Kevin Sites for his braveness in such a difficult times governed by irrationality, crimes, injustice and lies. Mr. Sites is the voice of the truth. He is showing us what really is going on in Iraq. These facts are difficult to find out because of the media control, always trying to avoid any leak of information that shows the genocide that is happening in Iraq. Please Mr. Sites, do not put attention in those messages attacking what you did. You did the right thing and half of the US, and by far the majority of the world, deeply appreciate you were brave enough to let the world know the truth that we already knew. The most common sign of those pro-war or Bush supporters is their silly patriotism and their use of aggressiveness in their words. They never ever are willing to discuss in relation with real facts. They are not rational, and they try to fill their lack of solid arguments insulting people that really care of getting informed, people that gives a serious thought on all the facts. The people pro-war are the best example of selfishness, caring only about themselves. They think they are the only ones that deserve a house, food and all sort of luxury in this world. Their favorite brainless pseudo-arguments are limited to insulting everybody that disagrees with them. They love the words “anti-patriotic”, “cowards”, etc. They always attack before listening or thinking. Their blindness provokes their recurrent justification of violence. They are not willing to talk and listen, they believe are always right. We are glad that you, Mr. Kevin Sites, are a rational person that deny to see the world only in black and white, that you are willing to put your life in risk in pro of showing the truth. For all this, in behalf of many friends, family and the people that really care about the truth, the justice, fairness, and the planet, we deeply congratulate you.

Frau Tina Schelhorn,



I wonder what you think of all these comments. While some are outright profane and not worthy many are thought provoking and make you wonder who the real enemy is? I appreciate that you have allowed an open forum on your site even though many opinions surely make you cringe. It shows that while you have strong liberal leaning you allow open dialogue. There are many on both sides who do not.



Alles Gute und viele Gruesse,



Christopher Sweeney

Re: Kevin Sites. Kevin Sites is very fortunate that he didn't live in the USA when our ForeFathers were around, he would have been hung as a traitor. Now that would have been a real shame! Mr. Sites please stay in Iraq as true Americans don't want you back in this country!

I find it ironic that artists have been elevated to courageous status since Yoko Ono got naked. Celebrating diversity while fearing a divisive nation tells me this is no plan, its passiveness waiting to be invaded. Cameras do not belong in the field of battle, and the soldiers who have the back of the expressionist stabbing them in the back will not for long. Vincent Van Gogh’s relative just got smoked in the most liberal country on earth, these Liberals began burning Muslim schools and prayer temples. Peace brother, Kill 3000 innocent civilians with jets of innocent civilians and America leaves Muslim Americans alone. Kill one Dutch artist near a hash bar in the Netherlands and Mosque’s will burn. Who and the hell are the butchers? Peace out home slice.

Sites claims that the first duty of a journalist is to question their nation. What nonsense is this? The only duty of a journalist is to report the TRUTH. The duty of a LEFTIST is to question their nation. What a fool this man is.

Sure "Ben".

We soldiers will fight evil wherever we find it.

Starting with terrorists.

And nice of you to toss the communist talkign point of fascists out there.

Shows how little you really know.

Here, you go over to Iraq and you try to see how everything is clear cut once once the terrorists start shooting at YOU.

It is truly a shame, if Kevin Sites were actually captured as he states, that they let him go. What a traitor. A low life terrorist sympathizer who has absolutely no "right" to be where he is. He is causing undue danger to our men, and should, himself, be sent home in a bag. He is truly disgusting - and if he is allowed to stay, and report his unpatriotic BS, he will cause our men to be in harm's way. Send this low life pathetic excuse for an American home - any way you can. He makes me want to puke! ! !

Kevin Sites joins the Hall of Shame alongside with Taliban John. Kevin can be against the war without being treasonous and he corssed the line. You disgust me..I have nothing but the utmost revulsion for you. If you hate America, I suggest you pack up and leave...that's the least you could do. I'm sure the French will give you an honor parade like they do for criminals, terrorists and cop-killers.

ARE YOU FASCISTS OUT OF YOUR FRIGGIN' MINDS!!!???



You're blasting the cameraman for capturing a cold-blooded murder in violation of every rule of war and the Geneva Convention, and YOU'RE BLAMING IT ON THE CAMERAMAN??!!



GET OVER YOURSELF!



The US invades another country, without provocation, murders its people, and YOU'RE BLAMING A CAMERAMAN for revealing the TRUTH about a cold-blooded murder.



YOU'RE DISPICABLE!
