"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract"

No wonder Obama sides with this regime. They have so much in common.

I want to see a real depiction.

Mural In Tehran Mocks U.S. SoldiersI wouldn't say that the mural mocks the Marines (not "soldiers").
"To mock" means "to belittle, make fun of, or laugh at derisively."
The mural shows victorious U.S. troops (albeit planting a flag on what appears to be a large pile of unarmed non-combatants).
Showing our valiant troops running away scared - that would be mocking.

The Iranians should talk; they could not even conquer the Iraqi’s an army that runs away.

I hope someday in the near future a group of Marines blows up that stupid mural and a bunch of muzzie clerics along with it.

Moslem and noncombat are two completely opposite terms.

It clearly shows the Great Satan regime is built on a pile of astronauts, and, uhh...stuff.
