I don't need to check out your "Military and Congressional credentials" I've only known you personally for 50 years as of June 2004.
I suppose other Freepers might be very impressed by your resume, but what I am looking for convincing argument as to why you disagree with me.
I know that's a lot to ask for. And it is much easier to post the John Kerry defense."I served in Vietnam! I am a hero. Who do you think you are to question me?!!"
With all due respect, this is not a convincing argument on anything.
I'm just thankful you and people like you who get a good laugh out of those 'harmless' photos are not in charge of our military or this country.
Hate to disappoint you but people like you and leftist handwringers who want to blow this entire Iraqi prison abuse scandal into a major attack on our military and undermine the reputation of America ARE NOT IN CHARGE of the military.
Like me, Rumsfeld has defended our military and pointed out how disproportionate and unfair the "outrage" over these photos is and how it is politically motivated by the leftist anti-Bush crowd.
By the way, I never said the photos were "harmless" at all.
I said that while the prisoners might have been shamed and embarrassed, they were not physically harmed or killed.
Are you distorting what I post on purpose or is that you just can't comprehend it?
Funny, none of the people in Congress came out of yesterdays session laughing...
Funny I heard more than one of them say FOX News that what they saw was no worse than what has been published already and that there were no pictures or video or Iraqis actually being tortured and murdered. UNLIKE what our enemies are showing.
We just saw a video of Iraqi monsters holding down an American contractor and sawing his head off with a knife.
But your big issue on these boards is how horrible American prison guards are for making Iraqi prisoners and terrorists wear women's underwear, leashes and engage in sexual acts. Incredible!
