Please Thank Senator Inhofe for Having the Courage to Tell The Truth and Do The Right Thing!(Berg)
FR ^ | 5-13-04

First, please read Senator Inhofe's statement on the floor of the Senate:


First of all, I regret I wasn't here on Friday. I was unable to be here but maybe it's better that I wasn't because as I watch this outrage -- this outrage everyone seems to have about the treatment of these prisoners -- I have to say, and I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.

The idea that these prisoners -- you know, they're not there for traffic violations. If they're in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners -- they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals.

And I hasten to say, yes, there are seven bad guys and gals that didn't do what they should have done. They were misguided. I think maybe even perverted. And the things they did have to be punished, and they're being punished. They're being tried right now and that's all taking place.

But I'm also outraged by the press and the politicians and the political agendas that are being served by this, and I say political agendas because that's actually what is happening.

I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons

When he was in charge, they would take electric drills and drill holes through hands, they would cut their tongues out, they would cut their ears off. We've seen accounts of lowering their bodies into vats of acid. All of these things were taking place.

This was the type of treatment that they had -- and I would want everyone to get this and read it. This is a documentary of the Iraq special report. It talks about the unspeakable acts of mass murder, unspeakable acts of torture, unspeakable acts of mutilation, the murdering of kids -- lining up 312 little kids under 12 years old and executing them.

Then, of course, what they do to Americans, too.....

We just saw what they do with Americans. They sawed off Nick Berg's head while chanting God is great. Just like they slashed the throat of Danny Pearl, and burned and mutilated the four in Fallujah, and flew those planes into the Pentagon and Twin Towers on 9/11.

I'm outraged that the Europeans and the left in this country don't understand the consequences of this War. I'm outraged that Teddy Kennedy compares our troops to Saddam Hussein. I'm outraged that Senators Levin and Dayton use the depravity of some bad apples to suggest "systemic" and "pervasive" abuse in our military, tarring the over 300,000 young men and women who have fought honorably for us in Iraq.


Bravo!  FINALLY!

Please take the time to thank Senator Inhofe for these brave and true words... we has earned our respect and support. At the minimum, give him an "atta boy!"

You can EMAIL HIM HERE too.

Which is better, Saddam or Coalition control of Iraqi prisons?

I, too, just emailed him. I also emailed the White House. The Senator makes me proud to be an American. Finally, one person stands up to the media and the disgraceful Senators on that committee.

It is nice to hear a politician speak the words that I have been thinking since first seeing the pictures of the prisioners and the previous and subsequent pictures of both Americans and others savaged by the religion of peace.

Done - the second time.

I wrote to him earlier this week right after he took his stand. But I forgot to say that I wish he was my senator so took this opportunity to do that.

Thanks.

"...it is an action item, i.e. it requires the user to take action."

Absolutely. Next time Inhofe is up for reelection, I'm going to suggest to whoever runs against him that they splice video of Inhofe's rantings together with stills of the POW's being sodomized with glowsticks and having attack dogs take chunks of flesh out of them while they're cowering naked on the prison floor.

At least John McClain had the decency to walk out of the room after Inhofe became unhinged.

I saw him last night on Tony Snow. They showed a clip of his speech, and then he did a Q and A with Tony.
I hope he makes the rounds of the networks.
