Thanks. I just think it's funny that so many on this thread just wanted to concoct a way to make this an impossible stunt when it's quite easy to see how it would be done and that the allegations might, therefore, be true. They choose to be blind because they don't want to see what they don't want to see.

Really? As stretching for an explanation. If you "rode" on a child's back, what definition would you expect others to use? CobaltBlue's and mine or yours?

You don't even have to put any weight on the back.

It takes a vivid imagination to use something from everyday life-- supporting oneself entirely while straddling the back of a smaller human (a child, for example) and walking with the smaller human as it crawls on the floor?
Do you have kids? Do you horseplay with them? Do you really wrestle with all your might when you wrestle them? Do you still say you wrestled with them even though you didn't really wrestle them with all your might or would that be using a vivid imagination or stretching for an explanation?
This is about situationally using less force. People do that all the time. Do you jokingly punch your wife in the shoulder the way you would your buddy? Do you grip the hand of your father-in-law the way you would your mother-in-law?

Get with the program! Don't you know that anyone who says something critical or negative about anything related to the administration (like the level of oversight in Iraq) is a socialist, Michael-Moore-loving dirtbag? This woman is no ally. She's no different than Nancy Pelosi.

.This is the everyday crap that makes uneducated muslims irate and filled with anger...
So what? I cannot tell the difference in their behavior 3 months ago, 2 weeks ago or yesterday. No matter what we do or don't do they are always filled with anger. They were p..sed off at us before we went to Iraq, remember?.
The damage of these pictures was done here. It is internal damage we inflicted and if we do not put the whole situation in the proper perspective (WAR IS HELL), our soldiers are likely to die because of the Kerry 1971 syndrome...All American soldiers are evil therefore let's pack up and go home. But in the process of defeat/retreat a few thousand more died because we didn't want to "really" fight anymore.
There's one difference here with Vietnam. Islomofascists hate us enough to come over here to kill us (Already forgotten by too many) and most of all THEY KNOW THEY ARE AT WAR WITH US so it's OK for them to be "filled with anger".

These stories seem to rise to the level of Ms. Hill's stories, Y'know . What were all of these stories being saved up for? A book? It just seems a little to contrived.
