Who grieves for dead Iraqis? (GREELEY ALERT)

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | July 28, 2006 | ANDREW GREELEY

[Chi-townChief]

Yeah - Greeley really looks like he's grieving:

Kind of like Clinton at Ron Brown's funeral.

[Petronski]

The Iraqis seem less than human, pajama-wearing people with dark skin, hate in their eyes, and a weird religion, screaming in pain over their losses.

Is THIS what Greeley thinks of them?

Friggin' bigot.

[rhombus]

Classic case: Stuck on Stupid.

[Fenris6]

What a tool. Hey Greeley, how mmany Iraqi's were tortured and raped on your watch? If you're going to bring up trials, I think you should be tried for your depraved indifference.

I always heard about the German who blithely walked past the concentration camps with his fingers in his ears. Always wondered what he looked like. Now I know.

Who grieves for dead Iraqis? (GREELEY ALERT)

Tell you what, you liberal sissy punk-a&& motherhugger.

You grieve for a single Israeli, and I'll grieve for all the Iraqis.

Bet ya I won't have to buy a handkerchief.

[Numbers Guy]

Where was Greeley's concern when even greater numbers were being massacred by Saddam Hussein?

What's better, someone who is sensitive to the plight of others at all times, or someone who is sensitive to the plight of others only when there's a political advantage to "showing concern"? Greeley is the latter.

[Global2010]

What a bad attack of dysentery he is.

I hate seeing babies burnt to a crisp for Allah and the rest of the pukes making this world hell.

God Bless America and Canada too.

Another liberal twit heard from. Greeley should put it to poetry, like the Berkley girl did in another thread, for added entertainment value.
When Iraqis tell us in a hundred ways every day that they don't give a thought to killing their fellow Muslims because they are not the right brand of Muslim, why in the world should we be concerned with the body count? We have good and brave men dying every day trying to quell Muslim vs. Muslim violence. That's what we should care about.

[hnorris]

We cannot permit ourselves to grieve for Iraqi pain because then we would weep bitter and guilty tears every day.

We cannot allow grief to stop what needs to be done. There is also the paralysis of playing "what if" too long.

[Lazamataz]

The United States shattered Iraq

But Saddam, by feeding people into woodchippers and gassing hundreds of thousands of Kurds and invading his neighboring countries, kept Iraq well.

I've seen dust with more intelligence.

[RedRover]

How would you feel if the street were drenched with the blood of your son or daughter, if your father was in the hospital with his legs blown off?

I'd vow to kill the terrorists or die trying.

[Paloma_55]

Ahem...Mr. Greeley... we are not killing these Iraqis (except the ones that need to be killed).

Shiites killing Sunnis and Sunnis killing Shiites..this is their way of dealing with their differences. The fact Saddam prevented them from doing so by killing them himself, well, that doesn't make our being there wrong.

Grow up.

"On most of the standards for a just war, the invasion of Iraq was criminally unjust."

Hey moron, Saddam completely violated the terms of the cease fire that ended Gulf War I. He shot at American planes patrolling the no fly zone. He did not allow free inspection of suspected WMD sites. He killed thousands of Kurds after Gulf War I. On those issues alone it was a just and legal war.

[VoyagerXII]

Yeah we shattered Iraq. Sadaam's torturers,rapists,bomb makers,killers, and germ cookers were much more discreet.

[Chi-townChief]

Not only that, Saddam joined Osama in declaring war (issuing a fatwa, as they flatulently like to call it) on us in '98/'99.

I wonder what his interpretation of this is...http://www.sullivan-county.com/images/nazis_islam.jpg

[Irember911]

Our streets were drenched in blood - and dust and debris.

We refer to it as 9/11. Everyone of those hijackers was an Islamic extremist. And actually, I'm sure that since we have been in Iraq, more Iraqis are being killed by fellow Iraqis than by our forces. We aren't the ones planting the roadside bombs or setting off car bombs and people bombs (the suicide bombers).

[DustyMoment]

The New York Times reported that during recent months a hundred Iraqis die violently every day, 3,000 every month.

BS Alert!!! IF these numbers were true, we would be looking at an annualized death toll in Iraq of 36,000. That number is lower than the number of Americans killed every year in traffic accidents and is lower than the number murdered every year in America.

Although I don't have the numbers to prove it, it is probably lower than the number of Iraqis raped, maimed and murdered by So Damn Insane.

[GatorGirl]

A better question is "Who is killing these dead Iraqis".

Hmmm.....that would be their fellow Muslims.

Too bad soft core porn author Andy doesn't get this worked up over the ~45 million babies who have been aborted since Roe v. Wade was passed.
