Horrifying Photos! US Marines Burning Iraqis And Worse

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

The Pentagon confirmed Wednesday that a formal investigation is underway since photographs, most too gruesome to publish, began surfacing, allgedly showing US troops burning remains of dead Iraqis.

Those images were published Wednesday morning by website TMZ, that claims to have recently come into possession of 41 photos they believe were taken in Fallujah sometime in 2004 amid the US-led Iraq occupation.

The website has only published eight of the images (below), including ones with men, who appear to be US Marines, dousing the dead with chemicals and setting them ablaze.

TMZ is withholding most of the photographs, however, due to many being “too gruesome,” they claim, including one showing a human body being devoured by dogs and another covered in flies.

In one photo, a man in full military garb is shown holding his high-powered firearm to what appears to be the charred remains of a human skull.

The photographs were turned over to the US Department of Defense last week, according to the website. TMZ says that Col. Steve Warren, the Pentagon’s director of press operations, told them the images do seem to show US servicemen engaged in unlawful activity.

The latest leak might uncover the most embarrassing incident of its kind to plague the US military since images taken inside America’s now infamous Abu Ghraib prison were published nearly 10 years ago, states.

Since there is no statute of limitations on the crime — even if the soldiers are now private citizens … they can still be prosecuted and end up behind bars.

Col. Warren told TMZ,  ”The actions that are depicted in these photos are not in any way representative of the honorable, professional service of the 2 1/2  million service members who went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last decade.”

      how is this horrifying? burning dead bodies better than let them rot on the streets and stink up the place. plus how the hell can anyone confirm those are real US soldiers? dumbest post of the year!

      • ElOregonian

        As a MACV-SOG member in ’69-’70 and operated during ‘Project Sigma’ in Ban Me Thuot, you have no idea what happens during extractions of POW’s or what forward recon teams (formerly known as Road Runner teams) encounter during an active operation.

        In the service of my country, I will take much of it silently to my grave. To pretend that a “Fair” fight is what soldiers seek in engagements is naive. When each side is determined to kill one another to survive, the objective is to win by removing the threat posed by your enemy. Something our ‘leaders’ seemed to have lost.

    • upchuck

      Shame on you Deborah Dupre for posting those FAKE PHOTOS!!!

      • Deborah Dupre

        Yes. Just like I was accused of posting “fake photos” of US soldiers torturing Prisoners of War years ago – not. They were real and they were taken by people opposed to war crimes. Are you? That’s the big question here. Are we opposed to un-Christian, Un-American, illegal, immoral war crimes – or do we support and advocate them. If the latter, does that make one complicit?

        • upchuck

          Oh. You want to talk about war criminals? Why don’t you write about Henry Kissinger then?
          All of you in the MSM are the same, so typical.

          http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4xgfaBTlt4

        • Bronson

          it is amazing how you are fast to blame soldiers, but seem to be scared of the Corporate Elitist.
          You fail to realize the root cause.
          maybe you do realize, did some one get to you. You should be ashamed… Do some real reporting. Report on the Global Elitist, They are the creators of all this war, maybe your one of them, or they have you thinking you have some sort of golden ticket…..they prob paying you?

        • upchuck

          What’s even more amazing is how predictable MSM reporters are. Now you have the Associated Press reporting more propaganda on Foxnews about how a dozen nuclear missile officers were implicated in test fraud / drug probe. It was 34 5 minutes ago, now its 12. Another bunch of lies with nothing to support their claim. Let’s see the drug test results!!!!! Fortunately, we all know the truth if you have been following the situations and how one commander has already saved 300 million lives from an unlawful nuke transfer ordered by President. Thats why all these men and women are being let go from the military, b/c there disobeying executive orders by the President. All MSM reporters work under the same group of men who own the mainstream media outlets. They are so irogant and don’t realize we know the truth. You can see the patern taken by MSM reporters today. It was all about discrediting our service men and women, so typical.

        • TombRaider

          You may want to rethink the country you call home and move to North Korea.

        • Archangel Michael

          Hey, TomBraider,

          The “bleeds red white and blue” ATTACK DOG, who has DONE ALL OF THESE THINGS in “Service” to “His Country”.
          Thank you Lucky Stars that YOU DO NOT KNOW ME (Yet)!

          You might wish to rethink YOUR POSITION, and get ready to be captured (for a bounty) and shipped off to the EU to STAND TRIAL for your WAR CRIMES at the World Court!

          I am here now, in “Your country” and will GLADLY hunt you for money! Mindless ATTACK DOG for “Your country”!

    • Greenfire

      Okay, so it’s just fine if they cut off my son’s head and his buddies’ with as dull knife, but if we burn their dead bodies we’re wrong?!? WTF is wrong with you Ms. Dupre???

      • Deborah Dupre

        I am sincerely sorry if your account is true. No, of course no such violence is justifiable, including illegally invading other countries for their resources, lying to the public about the reason, and neglecting Americans at home while spending billions on the war machine.

        • upchuck

          What do you mean if its true? It’s a fact that low life scumbag terrorist cut the heads off American soldiers while they are still alive. See the coming revolution has more to do with just getting rid of the criminals running our government, but holding the MSM accountable as well. Everyone will be held accountable for their propaganda spewing lies. This is change you can believe in. If you follow Deborah Dupre on Social media sites let her followers know the truth about MSM reporters.

    • LifeIs

      Let’s see, we’re talking about conduct the US military says is “unlawful.”

      And, as in the Vietnam war, we have Americans who think soldiers should just do whatever they want, instead of doing their assigned jobs.

      No wonder we keep losing wars.

      And you people KNOW the conduct is wrong. That’s why you are saying the photos are “fake.” If the conduct depicted was morally acceptable, there would be no point in faking the pictures, eh ?????

      And, we are talking about Iraqis, people who did nothing to the US, apart from resisting the destruction and occupation of their country.

      Sociopaths always justify their crimes by saying that other people are no better.

      It would make no difference if there were some actual Iraqi who committed some actual atrocity. It wouldn’t give you carte blanche.

    • Paul Brown

      Interesting that any American can consider it OK to do these things, regardless of provocation. These trolls personify what’s wrong with this country.

      • Bronson

        Notice how these reporters, and trolls are scared to say anything about the people that start these wars, along with the Corporate Elitist……Plus people that want to blame it on soldiers are the ones that voted for this, yes voted for their masters in office, and purchase from their corporate Gods, bow down now to your Corporate Gods. Pray to your Elitist masters.
        You do not realize this is a Global Issue, this is how the elite are trying to maintain control through chaos…wake up, all your doing is serving your corporate Gods by reporting false truths such as this…….Be a real reporter find out whom is really creating these wars……..next China will be at war.
        Yes the Corporate Elite also controls China…….

    • Rufus Juice

      they didnt kill those guys ~ those bodies were there a while ~ especially the piles of bone.

      If you never came across a pile of maggot rot than you wouldnt understand why burning that is a good option.

      F TMZ and anyone who has an issue with these. The same people are complaining that the they dont like the way the Taliban was portrayed in “Lone Survivor” – how they were portrayed? You mean the guys that burn little girls for going to school? The left is worried they weren’t portrayed nicely? Awwww, thats a shame.

      • LifeIs

        Rufus Juice gosh, I hope your concern for Afghan or Pakistani girls leads you to oppose shooting at them from drones, and otherwise murdering them. And I hope your love of humanity extends to the Christian and Muslim Palestinian children that Israelis murder for sport.

        • Confederate

          Unlike the women and children of Jews & Christians that are murdered daily by Muslim scum all across the planet!

        • LifeIs

          Confederate the Jews of Iran have refused to leave their country, even though Israelis offered them ten thousand dollars apiece to emigrate – to Israel – in 2010. The Jews of Iraq got government subsidies for their synagogues under Saddam Hussein.

          And while Saddam’s government was secular, it had Christian support. Tariq Aziz, former foreign minister and former deputy prime minister of Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, was a Christian.

          Our mercenaries who massacre Christians en masse in Syria are doing so because Christians support the present government of Syria.

          You didn’t have to be the enemy of the Muslim world. You chose to be.

    • marie

      “Rules of war” Why is it that we in America expect our men and women to adhere to those “rules” but apparently none of the rest of the world’s military seems to have gotten the memo…?

      • Deborah Dupre

        Whoa – Who started these illegal invasions and occupations? Who lied about the reason to illegally invade and occupy and massacre those oil-rich countries?

        Why are American troops over there – and involved in over 100 other battles? Invading, occupying, committing massacres, torturing without provocation are hardly the ways toward peace and democracy. They are the way for more violence against American troops and people in the US.

    • Deborah Dupre

      “A nation that continues year after year 2 spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” The whole world is a battlefield to the US. Guess it has well and truly died spiritually.

      • upchuck

        Leave our service men and women out of it and focus on the criminal NWO members who use our brave men and women to do their dity work.

        • SHARK-GULL

          Up yours, chuck!
          What the hell have YOU done lately?
          FOOL!

          Oh, King of “Puke-out-of-your-mouth”!

          LEAVE YOUR ameri-WAR-CRIMINAL “TROOPS ALONE?
          LEAVE THEM OUT OF IT, THE ACTUAL “executioners of the WAR-CRIMES”, as commanded by your “christian-leadership”?
          THE VERY MINDLESS ATTACK DOGS THAT HAVE KILLED MILLIONS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, ON COMMAND?

          Hey, “Natural Born Leader” upchuck (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) EXPECT significant “rear-guard” combat ACTION if your pathetic excuse FOR american WAR-CRIMINALS decide to “serve” their “country” AGAIN!

          Give Witness to the DEATH of “your precious” united Fascist states of Military TERROR, you idiot named “upchuck” (WHO MAKES ME PUKE, because of his idiot, violent “comments”!) For he is insane, just like a christian. And he’s violent, just like a christian, and he’s a HOARDING maniac, just like a christian, but HE (upchuck) WILL CRY SOON, like a “little girl”!

      • upchuck

        Wow Deborah 30 years as a human rights, environmental and peace activist, really? What have you done lately to make a difference?

      • Mirabolin

        Dont be bloody absurd – who on earth do you think it is that is voting for the war mongering money grubbers who reduce everthing to economics BUT the scum who will vote for federal government programs of social uplift and connecting that filfth to anti-racist crap like ‘spiritual death’.? Who the hell comes out with amoral gimme anti-racist garbage like ‘spritual death’? War mongering Gaytheist “what would Jeebus?” do sociopaths!

    • MSG Chicken

      These soldiers prevented the SPREAD OF DISEASE! Please get that in your head. It was not about malice.

      If anything they deserve medals to having to do something no one else wants to do. This is also done in peace time by state sponsored medical personnel to prevent the spread of disease in the past.

      STOP making criminals out of the military and make one out of the sodomite negro or Hilllary in Benghazi instead. Get your head right.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Please read how at least a couple of the pictures “too gruesome” to release are described. It seems you missed that part of this story. The story is not only about these several photos.

        This is only the first of this latest scandal. This is only honorable and justified in a world that is not American or “Christian” that many Americans profess.

        If this is how people think democracy is brought to another country that didn’t want or need to be invaded and occupied, they are brainwashed by the 1% and to be pitied by the 99%.

        As far as Hillary and Obama go, I’ve written much on them. I’ll thank you to read them, too. Peace MSG Chicken.

    • BunnyDoll

      CLEARLY…if one would only LOOK at the photos, one can see the long decayed bodies of human, yes. What ethic/nationality really? Perhaps these solders are following ORDERS? In which the responder is correct in freeing the area/environment of stinch, decay et cetera. While the reporter is giving everyone a picked through report, the report is missing a lot of information. This type of reporting is what everyone’s waking up to. And, if you don’t want accused of an agenda report, then tell the whole story! This whole report has been twisted to fit ‘something’ …otherwise, why would you not contain all information rather than a quick hit of emotional fudging, knowing that if the story or report can grab ones emotions (like bait), ones quickly drunk (all logic and rational and critical thinking doesn’t exist) …it makes it pretty easy to get what you wanted. So you must get paid a pretty penny for being a magician. I hear everyone has a price? :twisted:

    • Fisherman

      This is horrific! I hate America. I hate American troops. I hate American people!

      • neighbordog

        And we hate you.

    • Marks

      When are they going to dip their bullets in bacon fat? Actually, that’s been done before, I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt and it quickly put an end to the conflict and it was THEY who surrendered!

      • Crazydad

        I think it might have been General Pershing during the Phillipines insurections after the Spanish American war. Needless to say the insurgents stopped attacking Pershings troops.

    • Savage

      Ms Dupre Did you have the same sort of self righteous attitude when we all saw the pictures of American contractors being dragged naked through the streets and then hung from a bridge and burned while all the fine Iraqi citizens cheered on the murderers? Or how about when Chris Berg was decapitated on video. Your attitude toward our American Servicemen sickens me. Please feel free to go to Iraq or Afghanistan or the Sudan or Syria or Iran and preach to any of them about how terrible Americans are. I’m sure you will find a receptive audience. If the don’t behead you and burn YOUR body just for being American!

      If you look closely at the first pic the body appears to me partially mummified as in laying there for a while. Burning is much better than rotting in the open and spreading God knows what type of pathogens.

    • gruntjust4u

      “Horrifying Photos! US Marines Burning Iraqis And Worse” Ms. Deborah Dupre I wonder if I might ask did you think about what your saying when you wrote the header for this story? Should I ask how much your getting PAID for every 70 views or so? You speak of this topic as if you command a front row seat to the said torture and worse so have you been in theater with our troops during these events? Burning someone who is already dead does not seem to warrant horrifying and worse. At any given time including support personnel we have close to 500K people over there, so out of the given number of people over there you have identified MAYBE .2% that did not uphold their conduct. Did you ever think of going after the parties sending these kids there? How about the Military industrial complex? Of course not that is to close to home, no you would rather draw conclusions from some photos and news reports as these troops cannot respond to your allegations, interesting. In short you would prefer we were politically correct. I submit you haven’t a clue as to what goes on daily or the stupidity of rules forced upon our kids before engaging the enemy. I will not begin to explain to you the filmed beheading with a BOOT knife of some of our warriors or the terrible effects of IED’s to one and all. Maybe just maybe you should be questioning these matters close to home with the politicians like John McCain and Lindsey Graham who were touting we must destroy Syria all the while being paid in excess of a half a million dollars by the DC lobbyists. Further consider the terrible combat stress of being at war for 12yrs some of these young warriors have done 5 and 6 tours in combat, no consideration for that I suppose and most obvious would be that the troops did not ask or plead to be sent there in the first place so I think you are attacking the wrong group of people intentionally or not. Might I recommend you apply for a base pass and ask to be directed to the “Warrior Transition Battalions” a place where these folks spend up to 2yrs in recovery being made whole again as much as possible and conduct a personal interview with them so you can be direct and ask all the questions you like. Sorry but to me your trying to grab a headline and make a name for yourself without interest in learning the facts. Have a nice day.

    • Working the Beat

      Im sorry this is done to stop widespread disease not because of some self appointed reporter pretending its sensational news because it suits a personal agenda. Please report faithfully and don’t give warp the truth. Some reprehensible things have been done of this I am sure but this report is not one of them.

    • AlienWarrior

      Isn’t it standard practice to reduce tne risk of disease?
      After various conficts in the middle of last century corpses were covered in lime to reduce the risk of infectious disease.
      This isnt the same as torture or other crimes committed by troops but rather a harm reduction program. Not the big deal it is being trumped up as.

      The controlled media has been a powerful tool in fooling the easy sheep. These wars are all totally unnecessary and created. We are wrong in supporting this violence and we all know it. We are the invaders. Why are our southern borders wide open? Why do we allow Mexico to keep importing so much drugs, crime, filth and depravity to our country? That is a real threat. You really believe a bunch of shramees in caves are a threat to us?
      As long as we continue to turn an immoral cheek towards actions done in our name, these things will be implemented against us more and more… We have embraced this behavior for others, now it will be used on us. That is what we deserve for letting it all happen and not demanding truth and accountability.
      You all should be very concerned with our future. We are being bombarded from all directions now with poison. Air, water, food, radiation, GMO, monsatan, chemtrails, and on and on.
      The real culprit here is massive immorality that has led us to be so easily deceived by the dark ones.
      Guarantee you the next ten years are going to be very interesting for those who can survive.
      Son of a war veteran.

    • upchuck

      I know man, but these pictures are all photo shopped and fakes. This is just MSM trying to discredit those men and women who serve our country. The mainstream media is working side by side with the NWO to divide and conquer America, so we turn against each other. Thank you and your brothers and sisters for your service.

    • Deborah Dupre

      You are using the same justifications and “faked photo” accusations that people used when the first torture photos were released. Sorry. It failed then and it’s failing now, too.

    • upchuck

      Unfortunately, Deborah your readers are not as stupid as you make them out to be. You have no credibility. What are you going to do start posting Beastieality photos? As a matter of fact, discrediting you is working as I type, just read your comment section :cool: Your nothing more than a propaganda spreading MSM reporter.

    • Deborah Dupre

      Reporting military scandals by the most powerful army in the world is hardly propaganda.

      Torture, cheating, illicit drug use and rape are also rampant in the US military. Should reporters censor these stories, too?

      Stupidity has nothing to do with people justifying these human rights violations.

      Sounds to me you might think all of that is justifiable or should be kept from the public paying for the carnage. Thank you for reading this.

    • upchuck

      Unfortunately Deborah you are not reporting the TRUTH, everyone knows MSM spreads lies and propaganda. Soon know one will ever believe MSM ever again. Examiner, Foxnews, CNN etc. owned an operated by the same men, who get paid by the same government to spread the same false information. Seems to be a slight conflict of interest don’t you think Ms. Dupre?

    • upchuck

      2013 Gallup Poll:

      “The results are in: virtually no one trusts the scripted mainstream media. We’ve known it for years, but a new Gallup poll shows that a whopping 77% of Americans distrust mainstream media television.”

    • gruntjust4u

      1st and 3rd Picture says it all. They were already dead and badly decomposing, burning them was certainly the right thing to do IMO. Oh, look again at the 1st and 3rd Picture Ms. Dupre they were dead days before these photos were taken…………..Now armed with this information are you a big girl and willing to publicly prologize for your rash conclusion and slanderous remarks about our troops? By the way this will keep you busy someone else cut and pasted your story name “RedFlag” unless of course this is another account of yours and your acting like a vulture to get as many hits as you can today not sure which one it is but go play with the copy cat here on BIN.

    • upchuck

      Sorry. Last post I’ve made my point..

    • Deborah Dupre

      Bee Gee, this is for you and others attempting to change the focus from the essence of this material to blaming the messenger here. What is on this page is the tip of the iceberg regarding US illegal invasions, destruction and occupations – all based on lies upon lies dished and swallowed.

      Did you read that the most gruesome of these over 40 photos have been withheld from the public?

      No need for me to apologize. Even if an investigation proves these photos photo-shopped and all a lie, this and that would still be newsworthy. That’s why this is in the hands of the Pentagon – just like the other string of troop scandals – drugs, rapes, massacres, cheating… Good, most often poor people are brainwashed to be sub-human to commit barbaric acts – usually neatly hidden from public view, thanks to corporate media.

      I also know, as you probably do too, this is just the tip of the iceberg of horror the US has committed in its so-called war on terror, US troops raping – even of our own female troops; drone killings of babies, children and their innocent parents, torturing… For what aim? Democracy? Ha. It’s done for imperialism, oil, greed and control by the 1% – nothing respectable or honorable. This is why suicide rates are as high as they are in the US military. Our troops know they are ordered to conduct acts against our own Constitution, their own religion, international law. That’s enough to injure the strongest of men and women.

      So no, if these photos help bring reality to people about the cruel and inhumane parts of war fought for the 1%, I applaud whomever submitted them. Furthermore, I certainly owe nobody an apology – except all those injured in war, especially the innocent.

    • upchuck

      I don’t know why I even bother wasting my time responding, because its like talking to a brick wall. You have no idea what the real tip of the iceberg is going to look like when it rears its ugly head, and those criminals running our government are exposed for treason under the Constitution of the United States of America. Not to mention, you continue to fail to report who the real war criminals are. Once again your comments prove how ignorant and naive you are to the important mattes at hand.

      Your journalism is a disgraceful, disrespectful and just plain disgusting. You along with everyone else in the mainstream media are the ones trying to ignite hatred between fellow Christians and Muslims. MSM has become compete garbage and you are a prime example.

      Don’t worry your sorry enough, no need for an apology. I don’t know what’s more horrifying these photos or your ideology. I suggest you start doing your job, and start reporting about the real crimes against Humanity:

      http://www.globalresearch.ca/crimes-against-humanity-why-is-henry-kissinger-walking-around-free/5358322

      For some who proclaims to have degrees, plus thirty years of human rights, environmental and peace activism has failed miserably and owes humanity an apology.
