"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Inventing atrocities is a NATO/KKKlintonista specialty. You’d think tht Jews in particular would have a problem with that since ANY invention of atrocities or genocide in the world casts doubt in the common mind on all such stories, true or not.
Good piece,unfortunately there has been at least ONE horrendous REAL atrocity in this war, and we all know it is the one that involved raping the 14 year old girl, and killing the family, then burning up the residence. No one has really denied doing it, and they were all brought to justice one way or another. The story, ironically, is almost a mirror image of what just happened in suburban Connecticut to a family of two daughters, wife and father, perpetrated by two paroled or freed former prisoners.
I have not read the drivel from The New Republic. Fortunately, they store their manure behind a firewall. But, apparently, Beauchamp concluded by saying that he really isn't such a bad guy, because even though he has done all of these evil things, he feels bad about them now.
Just a historical footnote: There were a lot of statements about German soldiers in WWI bayoneting babies in Belgium and so forth. Those rumors were believed to a certain degree, but later disproved. Perhaps this is one reason why evidence of NAZI atrocities during WW2 were widely ignored?
Beauchamp was just carrying on the fine tradition established by John F’n Kerry, the fake hero, fake Irishman, fake etc...
