A Prisoner of the Khaleefa: Twelve Years Captivity At Omdurman.
Charles Neufeld.
HardPress Publishing. Originally G.P Putnam.(1899).
The 1914-18 War was fought between predominantly Christian nations. Brutal as it was, rules were followed. Prisoners on both sides were hospitalized.
Neufeld was rescued in 1898 by Lord Kitchener's British, Egyptian and Black Sudanese troops. The Sudanese cleaned up on the Dervish Islamic remnants. They slaughtered the wounded Dervish. The British press Johnnies embedded with the victorious army protested. They wanted civilized rules.
Neufeld said let them go and minister to the dying Dervish. Their chums will write their obituary. He stated that the Dervish will fight to the death and the kindness of enemies is repaid with treachery and death.
What I am trying to say is that the Taliban and Al Quada cannot be beaten by conventional rules. They do not observe any rules. Moore is applying different standards at different times. To ask the fighting forces to use some sort of rule enacted by some desk bound individual, is utterly ridiculous.
That quivering pallet of pig lard may think its cowardly for a sniper to shoot an enemy in the back, I just think it’s safer.
If you want to make him unhappy just ignore him. Pigs like this just crave attention and will say all sorts of vile things in order to get it.
Michael Moore is a cross between Fred Flintstone and Archy Bunker.
