And with good cause they distrust him!
What president in his right mind would HELP the enemy propaganda wise by making a statement like this:
"our military is air raiding villages killing civilians"!
Now some defenders say "you are taking it out of context"! DUH of course and that's what the enemy does!
They took the above and below comments and ran headlong into recruiting more terrorists!
I mean when a Senator and future SoS said:
Senator Kerry (D)
"American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."
Do you think these were encouraging words to OUR military or to the terrorists?
U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D)
"Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
Durbin (D)
"must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"
So if anyone says these were taken out of context... so f...king WHAT??
If someone is so stupid to make such helpful statements taken out of context that means they are really dumb or don't care about our military!!!
Either way dumb or don't care these above statements HELPED prolong Iraq, building immense dislike of the USA and directly causing deaths as this Harvard study showed:
FACT:LOOK at this Harvard study found here
THE "EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT"
asked: "Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media
expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?
The short answer is 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.
STUDY ABSTRACT
Are insurgents affected by information on US casualty sensitivity? 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. (wouldn't you conclude the next president accusing the US military of methodically and systematically air raiding villages killing civilians.. dissent???) We find in periods after a spike in war-critical statements, insurgent attacks increases by 5-10 percent.
So of course the military doesn't trust Obama and why should they? He helped get them killed!
