American Values?

During the Iraq war, American troops were instructed to use specially equipped tanks to bulldoze the trenches that held Iraqi soldiers- Not a single American was hurt, so meager was the resistance. Thousands of Iraqis, teenagers coerced into the army by the dictator Hussein, were buried alive, while the unprecedented military tactic was hidden from the public through media censorship. Captain Benny Williams, who Led the charge was awarded the Silver Star for his role. Also hidden: the apparent fact that many of the rag-tag teenage soldiers were trying to surrender as they were entombed.

Yep. I happened to have two browsers open. I looked at the first page with the <-— arrow and he/she/it was dead.

[LSUfan]

Uh, your hero claims our troops were killing enemy soldiers who were attempting to surrender...

[ejonesie22]

So UncleDick doesn't have a flying car then...

Damn...

[Darksheare]

Just what do you think Ron Paul is saying in the newsletter?

[ejonesie22]

Well it looks like he won’t be eating any of our food today...

Dibs on his portions!

[Allegra]

I want to drive a REVA. One of those big ones.

I want to drive it right through town.

[Moose4]

Hey, I know YOU know that—you’re a heck of a lot closer to it than many of us are! Ron Paul, despite the fact that he’s actually served in the military, is the one that doesn’t seem to get it. That wasn’t aimed at you.

[Arrowhead1952]

It will be back on another R [I] P thread.

[ejonesie22]

I wonder if he’ll get his flying car between now and then...

[OB1kNOb]

He’s a lunatic.

.....as well the voters he attracts.

[mnehring]

They've been coming out of the wood work lately. I have a suspicion:

[MrEdd]

Killing troops who are trying to surrender is a war crime, and apparently Paul accused our solders of doing that.

No. killing troops whose offer of parley you have accepted and who are advancing to negotiate, or whose actual surrender you have accepted is a war crime. There is no requirement for quarter to be offered or accepted.

[Petronski]

Most excellent!

[Allegra]

Dibs on his portions!

Well, OK, but don't hog all the guacamole.

And those burritos are looking mighty good...

[ejonesie22]

Ahhh...

Now it makes sense, and I know how they get here so fast...

[McGruff]

Sounds just like some of the talking points CNN was spouting at the time.

[Allegra]

Oh, what the hell...completely off-topic, but probably necessary at this point...

[ejonesie22]

Ok, I’ll be good...

You damn Neo Con...

BTW how’s the “war profiteering” going....

[Moose4]

BTW, I see you’re a Texans fan? We’re finding out here in North Carolina that the reason David Carr sucked in Houston wasn’t all his offensive line being bad. When Vinny Testaverde (at age 1349 or whatever he is) outplays you? You got problems.

Another I can has cheezburger fan? I didn't see them anywhere in the blogger awards. Do you know if they are somewhere in that arcane vote list?
