| I can't tell whether this guy is telling the truth or not but let's just for a moment assume that some of these stories are true.
Calling your enemy "towlheads"? Really? You expect soldiers to treat their enemies with political correctness? I call em' towlheads when I'm pissed at the arabs! This isn't anything odd for warfare. Would our modern media cry if taken back to WW2 their 'investigative journalists' found out our boys where calling the Germans Krauts? OMG!!!!
Shooting prisoners who are attacking prison guards with rocks? That's an atrocity? If you are a prisoner of war then perhaps it would be in your best intrest NOT TO ASSAULT THE GUARDS. It's a very simple rule, if you're a prisoner don't attack your guards. Soldiers arn't police officers who are restraining American Citizens, THEY'RE SOLDIERS IN A WAR.
Oh and worst of all they housed the prisoners of war in tents outside! 32 of these prisoners where killed my mortar fire from enemy insurgents. How the hell is that our fault? Maybe, just maybe, the insurgents shouldn't be shooting mortars at their own guys. Who in their right mind would fault America for that one?
In sum, this is exactly the sort of "investigative journalism" I'd expect from the NY Times, the same paper that ran FIFTY-TWO front page stories about Abu Garaib. Granted it was a big story but FIFTY-TWO FRONT PAGE STORIES, and you don't think they have a STROOOOONG political bias? |
