More Evidence Pat Tillman Was Murdered
by James Buchanan
Pat Tillman walked away from a three million dollar football contract to fight terrorism. He was a genuinely patriotic American. Afghanistan had a large al Qaeda presence and Osama bin Laden was rumored to be there. Tillman joined the Special Forces and was fighting al Qaeda over there. But then, George Bush declared war on Iraq. Tillman didn’t believe that Iraq had anything to do with the 911 attack. Tillman was ordered to serve a tour of duty in Iraq and was eventually sent back to Afghanistan, where he was killed. The original report claimed that Tillman was killed by enemy fire. Five weeks later it was admitted that he was “accidentally” shot in a friendly fire incident.
The original friendly fire story released by our government claimed that Pat Tillman’s unit broke up into two parts and ambushed itself. A likely mistake for a poorly trained National Guard unit, but not for an elite Special Forces unit. A recent documentary on the Tillman story showed a heavy machine gun on a Humvee firing at Tillman’s position despite his repeated attempts to contact them.
A CNN article reports “Tillman died in ‘friendly fire.’ He was hit in the head by three bullets fired by U.S. soldiers who say they mistook him for the enemy.”
Now think about this for a minute. Tillman was supposedly shot because US soldiers mistook him for the enemy. But Tillman was close enough for someone to hit him three times in the head. There is no way anyone could mistake the square-jawed Tillman for a Taliban fighter, especially if they were that close. (more…)
