I wouldn't expect any less from the ODS stricken rightwingers of this country. The shocking thing is that, in a Rasmussen poll, only 35% said he doesn't love his country.
Half of America isn't convinced their President loves his country and you consider that a victory? Seriously?
This just goes to show how the extremism of the right has warped the thought process of so many Americans. I find it laughable when those on the right suggest that it is the left that has been the cause of so much divisiveness in America. As a former conservative Republican, I have seen first hand how much damage the far right has done to this country, and it's a disgrace. It is the reason that I left the Republican Party after being a member for over 25 years.
Explain to me these statements as being "uniting", "supporting our military", and if you can tell me how you can be proud of
a group of politicians who KNOWING their words were going to be used against them...still did so and in doing so US /Iraqi people died as this Harvard study shows:
The Harvard Study asked:
THE EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT
"Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?
The resounding answer WAS YES!!! according to Radha Iyengar, a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in health policy research at Harvard and Jonathan Monten of the Belfer Center at the university's Kennedy School of Government.
Using data on attacks and variation in access to international news across Iraqi provinces, we identify an “emboldenment” effect by comparing the rate of insurgent attacks in areas with higher and lower access to information about U.S news after public statements critical of the war.
In Iraqi provinces that were broadly comparable in social and economic terms, attacks increased between 7 percent and 10 percent following what the researchers call "high-mention weeks," like the two just before the November 2006 election.
And these statements which idiots like YOU most likely agreed with did everything in the world to encourage recruit and reward the terrorists to continue.
Remember Kerry EARLIER wanted Bush to: "
Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime .... to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real .... "Kerry , Jan . 23. 2003
U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D)"
Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
FACT: one soldier out of the hundreds of thousands was convicted! ONE!
By June 17, 2008, six defendants had had their cases dropped and a seventh found not guilty.
[11] The exception was former
Staff Sgt Frank Wuterich. On October 3, 2007, the
Article 32 hearing investigating officer recommended that Wuterich be tried for
negligent homicide in the deaths of two women and five children, and that charges of murder be dropped.
[12] Further charges of assault and manslaughter were ultimately dropped, and Wuterich was convicted of a single count of negligent
dereliction of duty on January 24, 2012.
[13][14] Wuterich received a rank reduction and pay cut but avoided jail time.
[15][16] Iraqis expressed disbelief and voiced outrage after the six-year US military prosecution ended with none of the Marines sentenced to jail. A lawyer for the victims from Haditha said, "This is an assault on humanity." and he as well as the Iraqi government said they might bring the case to international courts.

Haditha killings - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
NOTE: Do you not believe the terrorists LOVED to hear our troops were cold blooded killers???
AND of course traitors like you say well this did happen YES! ONCE!!!!
Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
(11) Eleven U.S. soldiers were convicted of crimes relating to the Abu Ghraib scandal. Seven of those were from Maryland-based 372nd Military Police Company. A number of other service members were not charged but reprimanded.
AND yet you traitors make it sound like the entire military was involved!
GEEZ you idiots are really disgusting!
then Senator Obama said "
troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "
The war is lost, the surge is not accomplishing anything "
So you explain to me why these above recorded liberal/progressives should NOT be called terrorists because THESE WORDS were used and encouragement given to the barbarians to murder 100,000 Iraqis including 4,000 US troops... all because these idiots wanted political power regardless of how much blood it costs our US soldiers!
NOW as far as divisiveness ??? Tell me you are saddened that 1.2 million children didn't starve because you
think the Democrats are not the divisive elements?
See you obviously loved Saddam. You obviously wanted him to continue the charade even though HE knew according
to you he didn't have WMDs yet he would still be in power if you had YOUR way and 1.2 million children would have starved all because YOU loved Saddam!
