I don't know what the sinker is gettin so excited about. First they said adnauseum, 911 was our government's fault for not having good enough intel... Now they're saying, Iraq is gonna be lost because our techniques were a little overly agressive and humiliating and (gasp)... there are pictures!!!

There were pictures of the "Highway of Death," too and I still believe that's why we halted Gulf War I!!!

I think we're "lookin for love in all the wrong places!" That's why we lose our nerve and waste billions on trying to fix entire nations, only to be frustrated by a population raised on visual aids!!!

The picture of "the good earth," rising over a "dead moonscape" launched a GovernMental EnvironMental extremism movement our economy has stuggled with for thirty five friggen years in this nation!!!

A picture of a burned, naked female Vietnamese child and Walter Chronkite caused the greatest nation in the planet's history to turn tail and run like the politically corrected cowards the "peace movement" wished us to be... all to save something called "a sense of moral superiority" we find so comfortable until planes crash into tall buildings, killing everyone possible.

This is what's wrong with "Group-Think!" We elect leaders... Then refuse to allow them to lead!!!

Yes. There are pictures.

And, everybody, from the President on down, says this is reprehensible behavior.

Only on Free Republic do I find defenses for it.

Nowhere else.
