Reply #7: This guy sounds like he needs some SERIOUS medical help

[MADem]

Perhaps he is suffering from PTSD, or perhaps he had a pre-existing condition, but this guy is a lying mutha, and this kind of horseshit gives people reason to disavow GENUINE reports. This guy is a lying bullshit artist, like the bozos who run around with a knife in their teeth claiming to be SEALS or DELTA FORCE, and he needs to apologize to those who were tainted by his false allegations:

Each of his claims is either demonstrably false or exaggerated - according to his fellow Marines, Massey's own admissions, and the five journalists who were embedded with Massey's unit, including a reporter and photographer from the
Post-Dispatch and reporters from The Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal.

He's coming across as a bullshitter with issues:

From the beginning, Massey misled reporters.
In early interviews, he told how he had lost his job at a furniture store because of his anti-war activities. But when asked about the incident in an interview Oct. 19 with the Post-Dispatch, Massey said he had quit his job but
never had felt pressure to leave.

"I left on good terms," he said.

He also backtracked from allegations he made in a May 2004 radio interview and elsewhere that he had seen a tractor-trailer filled with the bodies of Iraqi civilians when Marines entered an Iraqi military prison outside Baghdad. He said the Iraqis had been killed by American artillery.

He told listeners that the scene was so bad "that the plasma from the body and skin was decomposing and literally oozing out of the crevices of the tractor-trailer bed."

He repeated the story in the Post-Dispatch interview. But when told that the newspaper's photographs and eyewitness reports had identified the trailer contents as all men, mostly in uniform, Massey admitted that he had never seen the bodies....

I HATE IT when jerks do this shit--it only hands a talking point to the WAR IS GOOD crowd.



Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
