Dead U.S. Soldier in Anti-War Video

…Is neither dead nor anti-war

Back in February 2005, I wrote about the Islamist video where they threatened to behead a US Soldier on video if the US didn’t meet their demands.

It turns out that the soldier in the video was a GI Joe Doll.

Well, those whacky Jihadists are at it again:

An Iraqi insurgent propaganda video, containing what is described as a Christmas message from a U.S. soldier taped just before he was killed, appeared on dozens of Web sites and on the al Jazeera network.

But a lot about the video does not add up, including the fact that ABC News found the supposedly dead soldier is “alive and well” and present for duty, according to a U.S. Army spokesman at Fort Campbell, Ky.

Go read the entire report. It never ceases to amaze me how much the terrorists propoganda reads exactly like the talking points coming from the Left and the Democratic Party.

The jihadist video uses a voice over, claiming to be that of Spc. Lee Kimball Tucker of Florida. The dubbed voice claims that US soldiers “became violent and reckless searching for insurgents”:

“The crimes by our soldiers during break-ins started to merge, such as burglary, harassment, raping and random manslaughter,” says the voice. “Why are we even here? The people hate us.”

This sounds exactly like the types of behavior and crimes that Rep. John “Smear the Troops” Murtha accused the Haditha Marines of. It’s not surprising that the terrorists want to perpetuate Murtha’s lies by painting US Soldiers as out of control rapsists and thugs.

The tape ends with a final denunciation of U.S. leaders and their policies:

“What we are doing here is so disgraceful; our acts are shameful,” says the voice. He then signs off, “Specialist Lee Kimball Tucker.”

It’s hard to tell if the terrorists came up with that last sentence all on their own, or if they simply cut-and-pasted from a Democratic Talking Points memo.

I’m guessing the later.

Oh, and according to Tucker’s parents, their brave (and very much alive) son isn’t anti-war either, as so many on the left were applauding:

Tucker’s mother Pam of Fort Worth, Texas, told ABC News that Tucker is not anti-war and that he could be returning to Iraq later this year.

Not only is the war against these jihadists winnable, but we are winning. Unfortunatley, Democrats don’t beleive either.
