Actually, I was well aware of this investigation since January. But at that time, all you warmongers claimed it was just the silly liberal media conspiring to defame our Fearless War President.
That's right, we shouldn't hold Shrub accountable for his actions, he's infallible and to critisize the President is unAmerican and unDemocratic.
Well gee, I'm sorry you felt coverage of that story wasn't in depth enough. Perhaps you'd prefer it get reprinted everyday in its entirety for a month, even though we have absolutely no new information related to it? Meanwhile, as the investigation in to US war crimes progresses and new information comes out everyday, we'll just ignore that.
Besides, I thought all you wanted to hear was good news from Iraq. News about Iraqi mobs dragging the bodies of US contractors through the streets isn't exactly good news, is it? Don't you think it'd be better not to even talk about it, you know, for the troop morale and public support thing?
You are aware that we are in Iraq, fighting these insurgents, aren't you?
You just don't get it. We are supposed to be outraged when our troops commit atrocities because we aren't like that. WE ALREADY KNOW terrorists are bad, and you expect everyone to act surprised when they start brutally killing people?
And i am outraged. But im further outraged when it became apparent why the liberals are up in arms. Calling for the head of Rumsfield at this juncture is entirely premature. Let the investigation be completed and if it is shown that Higher officials had a say in this then by all means, hold those accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
I was one of the first people to say this was appalling. I was one of the first to say that this was beneath us and that it puts a bad mark on our troops image. But to have these statements like America is forming gulags and that we are the new Nazi's is ludicrous. To attack rumsfield for the crimes of 7 to 12 soldiers of the 200,000 under his command in the way that people are is ludicrous. Question his methods, question his knowledge but to call for his resignation is premature.
