I wonder what kind of alternative world would exist if the U.S. wasn't around.

One nasty world. Doubt the civilized world would last. At one time you could depend on the UK...they've turned as lunatic as the rest.

Official: Iraqis Plan Atrocities in U.S. Uniforms

Way back in 2003 we were told this would happen. Who can say this isn't what's going on now?

This is just an enemy attack by other means with the assistance of unpatriotic leftist news media and politicians.


We will never win a war again as long as a POTUS lets the media and his political opponents continue to do this.

Lincoln and FDR put politicians and the press in jail for a lot less.

Pity our brave soldiers are dying and a bunch of clowns are running the PR war at home.

"....but they really don't want freedom."

You are correct.....the religion and culture is based on total submission, hence the 5x daily genuflection to remind them....

If the iraqis soldiers and security would step up to the plate and take more control of their nation, and move us more and more from the occupying equation, the less confusion and inaccuracies would occur

I think if you look closely at the stories about many of the recent "reported" incidents, including Haditha, you'll see that the US forces were operating in conjunction with Iraqi forces. It's even possible that some of the casualties in Haditha were caused by Iraqi forces not US forces. But that information doesn't fit the agenda of those on the left, so it's reported once, if at all, and then conveniently left out of subsequent "stories" on the incident.

hanoi kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971
to accuse the United States military
of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam.

hanoi kerry 1971 TESTIMONY

http://www.c-span.org/vote2004/jkerrytestimony.asp

Legislative Proposals Relating to the War in Southeast Asia Thursday, April 22, 1971
United States Senate, Committee on Foreign Relations, Washington, D.C.




"Yes, indeed- John Kerry thinks it's 1971 all over again. Yesterday, on "Face the Nation"
John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."

Here is the transcript for "Face the Nation"-

You will find this statement at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5.

Major General William Caldwell should forthwith kick Brigadier General Donald Campbell directly in the balls, if the media accurately reported Campbells' comments. For those not familiar with the rank structure it is Brig, Maj, Lt, and Gen of. If the comments from Campbell were out of context, the worthless gutterslut that published them should be turned over to the enemy.

Man, you hit the nail right on the head.

I couldn't stand that nasty female general . . . it was clear that they shoved her over there in the hopes that she couldn't screw up too badly way behind the lines -- no luck! Shoulda kept her stateside, but I guess they had to send SOME women over there for the look of the thing.

"The farmer's boots are the best muck," and platoon sgts. and platoon leaders have to be out and about all the time, in unexpected places and at unexpected hours. (My dad and my father in law were OCS, my husband was ROTC, but it was drummed into all their heads that they had to keep their eyes on things all the time.)

Exactly. BBC tub-thumping that shaky 'evidence' video (received from a wholly distinterested radical Sunni group, dont'cha know < / sarc > ) set off every BS detector on the Internet.

This whole thing is being orchestrated by the MSM -- national and international -- in preparation for Lurch's complete Iraqi withdrawal surrender plan next week.

Bout time for jorge to pretend a spine, stare into the camera without blinking, and say without pausing "these soldiers are innocent."

It's really pretty evident.....liberals (socialists) will always "accuse" conservatives that are in power of doing what liberals (socialists) would certainly di IF THEY were in power.

It's really that simple.

I hate liberals (socialists) with every breath that I take and with every beat of my heart. The ONLY good thing that can be said about liberals (socialists) is that they tend to kill their own. Beyond that, they (liberals/socialists) are a demonstrable waste of dna. Just look at Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Bill (or Hillary) Clinton, Dick Durbin, Barb Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Carter, et al and tell me that I'm wrong. You can't do it!

To the next liberal/socialist that gets in my face telling me that our troops are "murderers"... you do so at your own peril. I will not hold back. PROMISE.

I'd be damn a-half-a-camper if he said, "these soldiers are guilty as sin and we don't give a flyin'" as long as he says something.

On the other hand, I just think it's a bit convenient these things just seem to be hitting the news like this, all the sudden. I'm about ready to contact my two wonderful NJ loser Senators to say it's about time we went Dresden on everything from the Morocco to Indonesia.

The insurgents or terrorists or whatever you want to call them finally hit the bait to catch the MSM and these fish are hittin' hot and heavy.

I really don't think that needs an explanation after reading and watching what's coming out of the UK. LOL
