Sy who?

[windsorknot]

It's sad to think that American soldiers are putting their lives and limbs on the line to protect and defend this sorry excuse for a human being. He sounds like an apostle of Soros/Chompsky.

[Signalman]

In my day, Sy Hersh would be, tops, running a kosher deli in Brooklyn on Flatbush Ave.

Specifically, one of Hersh's dramatic allegations made during a speaking engagement in July 2004, during the height of the Abu Ghraib scandal, was later amended by Hersh. He alleged that American troops sexually assaulted young boys: "basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children, in cases that have been recorded, the boys were sodomized, with the cameras rolling, and the worst above all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking. That your government has. They’re in total terror it’s going to come out.” [16] In a subsequent interview with New York Magazine, Hersh admitted, "I actually didn’t quite say what I wanted to say correctly...it wasn’t that inaccurate, but it was misstated. The next thing I know, it was all over the blogs. And I just realized then, the power of—and so you have to try and be more careful." [17]

“If you read the public statements of the leadership, they’re so confident and so calm…. It’s pretty scary.”

Thats what happens when a person knows their mission is True and Just and that they have acted from not only the heart but the head.

Calm cool confident leadership and the most effective military in the world.

If the restrained use of force , gives ole hersh such a scare he should truly be in shock when we finally unleash the boys to do whats comming. It wont be pretty but it will damn sure be affective.

What an idiot. Hey Sy, must of missed this oldie but goodie....something we should be doing instead of passing out candy!

[in hoc signo vinces]

My thought exactly.

The Army isnt a cadre of kindergarten teachers...the Army is a force of well trained and equiped men exacted upon an enemy to inflict the maximum amount of violence possible in order to obtain an objective as quickly as possible...

Seymour Hersh just doesnt understand what the Army is, what it is used for, or who the good guys are...which makes him a typical lib...

[o_zarkman44]

Hey Sy! War is not a one sided conflict. The idiocy of his statements are clear as well as his agenda.

There is definitely no need of killing trees for the paper that crap was printed on.
It would be better printed on toilet paper.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Apparently, like most journalists, he doesn't know history even though his job is supposed to be to write it. At the end of World War II the U.S. Army, and I don't blame them, executed German civilians in reprisal for the killing of U.S. troops. Italian civilians were rounded up and killed during the Allied invasion of Italy. And what about the 1900 Century U.S. war with American Indians?
Sy Hersh has always been a leftist sensationalist.

[atlaw]

OMG> This guy scares me to death!

Oh c'mon. This guy is so ridiculously over the top that he's taken seriously by maybe a half dozen fellow schizophrenics. Any day now, he's going to announce that that the President and the janitor in his apartment building are actually aliens conspiring to give all Americans hang-nails and make his water pipes bang in the middle of the night.

[mad_as_he$$]

The French Army?

[Hambone02]

There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq WoW! Last I checked, that was what an army was supposed to be. If you ask me, I don't think we are violent enough. Notice our soldiers were passing out candy when they were attacked. He must not have remembered the Korean war, WWII, WWI, and every previous war we fought and won by being violent, not friendly.

[mountn man]

Haven't you heard? He's a Pulitzer Prize winner. He's OBVIOUSLY trustworthy.

He's trustworthily OBLIVIOUS.

There fixed it.

[Hambone02]

oops.

[Tamzee]

He's a puss-filled beast.

My cousin was killed in Iraq BECAUSE he didn't mow down civilians. Even after civilians begin to act suspiciously, our brave and wonderful troops have to approach with caution and give the "civilian" dressed terrorists the benefit of the doubt. Michael was killed doing just that when the "civilian" turned out to be a suicide bomber.


Our men are angels, giving up their lives to deliberately NOT hurt civilians...

Seymour and the terrorists are vile sub-humans.

[Billthedrill]

“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,” he said.

I remember well, you lying sack of sh*t. It was your fault then and it'd be your fault now if we'd let you get away with it. And we won't. Never again.

Hersh has made a living dancing on the corpses and the reputations of the U.S. military. This is one absolutely disgusting excuse for a human being.

[mad_as_he$$]

They don't make them like Black Jack anymore.

[rightinthemiddle]

This one is good.

[tophat9000]

No worry it's just the left with there usual case of "Hersh squirts" passing it off as rational thought

[Liberty Valance]

The good news? Every new day is one day closer to the day this anti-American puke no longer takes up valuable oxygen.
