Bump for later read.
Read this a couple of days ago; our soldiers are real professionals IMHO
And the liberal media is silent.

Thank you so much CHAR, I am now officially disturbed with president Bush. I hope this only lasts for today. His speech was OK, but I think President Bush should have taken Neil Cavuto's advice: be angry, not conciliatory. The nation would have applauded him for standing up to the lib campaign of treason.
Icescream and Korans? Do a search on my posts, you will see that I am a supporter of Operation Iraqi Freedom. But this kind of pandering and icescream kid gloves treatment for "humane" "reasons" just drives me crazy. Michael-Savage crazy.
I wish.
This is a great point.
It is akin to giving Nazi POWs a copy of Mein Kampf or bowing toward Japanese POWs while obsequiously saying their notion the Emperor Hirohito really is God certainly should be considered!
PC is going to be the ruination of us and stymie our efforts, perhaps fatally, in this war.
The media is totally childish. Nothing new happened in Iraq. A dubious poll was misread to say most peopel want out of Iraq. From there the media went on a silly tear about falling support, quagmire, etc. The president comes out and reminds everyone of stuff we already knew and it shuts them up for a while. Still nothing changed before, during or after this little media tempest.

Why don't they have closed circuit TV on this animals.
When the allegations of abuse came out, they should have released footage of what the guards face.
Frankly and honestly, I don't think that President Bush has the capacity for very much anger. He is so steady, that he maintains an incredible (and admirable) equalibrium. He must have to, in order to put up with the savaging that he has had to endure.
I agree with you, though. If he were to haul off just once, in a big, formal news conference (not an address to the nation, I don't think), and sock it to the entire liberal bumpkins BIG TIME, I think that his poll numbers would skyrocket.
All of his loyal stalwart supporters, like yours truly, out in the boondocks across America are frankly waiting and hoping to see him sound off!
He deserves to give 'em a piece of his mind, and they (every single one of them) deserve to be tarred and feathered by the CIC!
Thanks for your comment.
Char :)
You're right. Angry was the wrong word to use. I would have preferred the president to be a bit more confrontational and sticking up for all those millions of Democrats and Republicans that know what the libs have been doing. He may have even reached people who's idea of what's going on is mainly lib spin presented as "news".
What? No viagra?
Spot-on, Charlite, thanks for posting this.
If this piece is true then we are doomed as a nation and fated to be cowed and eventually ruled by our own tormentors. The strange thing is that the author comments favorably on the gentle treatment of these prisoners. If there is no evidence against them, let them go. If there is, we should use electricity and rusty surgical instruments to extract every last ounce of intelligence, and then use these same implements to extract their very souls.
Things have gone terribly wrong when we apologize for things that we haven't done but SHOULD be doing, and NOT apologizing for.
Call it compassion if you want. I say we are chumps. A group of 'non compliant' should be marched out every morning and shot until there are no more 'non compliant'.
Herded in with pigs would be better. Allah wouldn't let in any pig touchers.
