Earlier this week, the DUmmies were left with EGG on their collective faces when it turned out that their hero, Jessie MacBeth, who confessed to committing war crimes in Iraq was a Fake Army Ranger. After having to gorge on crow, the DUmmies are now back and essentially saying that the fact he was fake doesn't matter because our troops are committing war crimes despite the LACK of evidence to back up this assertion as you can see in the THREAD titled, "Does anyone doubt that certain G.I.'s are committing war crimes?" Yes, "Fake but Accurate" seems to be the motto of the DUmmies. So let us now watch the latest rantings from the "Reality Based Community" in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that MacBeth will soon have lots of time to brush up on his Shakespeare from a jail cell, is in the [brackets]:
Does anyone doubt that certain G.I.'s are committing war crimes?
[Not in DUmmieland where actual facts are considered to be quite beside the point.]
There's been an uproar over a supposedly hoaxed video of a G.I. admitting to mass murder of innocents, but does anyone actually doubt that certain of our soldiers are indeed mad dog killers? No, I'm not saying they all are, but many are. We've seen the evidence over and over. But the number one group of war criminals is of course the neo cons, the ones who tricked the soldiers into thinking the Iraqis are the ones who attacked us, and that they are mere cockroaches to be smashed asunder. It's not the soldiers who should be punished, it's the commanders in chief.
[Despite an utter LACK of evidence, let's just make politically motivated War Crimes accusations.]
No. Jack Murtha has confirmed they are committing war crimes. Murtha wouldn't ever lie about something like that.
[Oh no. Jack Murtha would NEVER fib despite having NO EVIDENCE to back up his charges.]
careful... We aren't supposed to question the ersatz hero worship of the troops. Even many at DU fall in line and don't dare question this. This war mentality isn't likely to change anytime soon. It has been carefully instigated by the military industrial complex after their failure in Vietnam. With their pawns in the media they have cultivated an unquestioning mantra of "support the troops".
[careful... We aren't supposed to back up our wild claims with FACTS.]
Remember, the truthiness of his story is more important then the details and the preponderance of evidence that he made them up!
[Thanx for PERFECTLY expressing the DUmmie attitude of Fake but Accurate.]
a war suggests an equal opportunity type of thing. this was a rape and pillage occupation contrary to international law against a weakened country
[WHO was raped? WHAT was pillaged and by WHOM? Sorry for asking these irritating questions.]
It is an illegal war. Every soldier fighting it is committing a crime. I said the guilt for that crime falls to the moral ledger of the Bush Regime, who launched an aggressive "pre-emptive" war in much the same manner Hitler did when he marched in to Poland.
[Since the DUmmies are UNABLE to find actual FACTS to back up their War Crimes charges they redefine War Crimes to mean our entry into Iraq. When the FACTS don't match the charge then just CRIMINALIZE policy decisions.]
Americans can be extremely Barbaric. I am a witness to that fact
[And you are now witness to the fact that you are being barbarically roasted alive for all to see on the DUmmie FUnnies.]
My husband served over there for more than a year and he never participated in nor witnessed a war crime.
[PLEASE!!! STOP with the FACTS!!!]
It's happening everyday. They kill without question or without reason. They walk around with their finger on the trigger ready to shoot.
[Is that you, Jessie MacBeth?]
I'm sick of people defending the ordinary GI. No one forced them to join the army. They volunteered to go off and kill brown people in the desert.
[Testify to this "fact" before congress and someday, you too, might become a U.S. Senator and run for President.]
It is evident that the US miltary is just as ugly and as capable of evil acts as any other army in history.
[This sounds like Jack Murtha's campaign speech.]
I believe there are a lot of rapes we dont hear about. and i dont give a f*ck what kind of stress your in, rape is inexcusable and were never hearing a peep about it.
[Possibly because it ISN'T happening?]
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
1st
PING!
Top 10
Top 5!
****************
The "military industrial complex"? Groovy. A flashback of the 60's.
Too bad old hippies don't fade away.
Absolutely priceless,and one has to assume that the writer thinks this is profound rather than idiotic.
I don't want to hear griping about "atrocities" and "torture" until they show me where such things are located in the Military Handbook.
A few people committing crimes is normal. National policy is another thing altogether. I dare these !#$#!@holes to find it in the rule books.
Sheesh. The marriage of DUmmies believing anything, as long as it makes "BushCo" look bad, and their total lack of respect for the military is an ugly, ugly thing.
What's most frightening is that they aren't expressing a fear that this might be going on; instead, they are expressing their hope that it is going on, which could eventually be used for their own partisan political purposes. They want this to be true, which is why they believe it without a shread of evidence.
I love the way DUmmies are always talking about "international law". What they actually mean is just some nutty resolution declared by Leftists at a summit meeting.
"truthiness" another new word!!!!!
[Thanx for PERFECTLY expressing the DUmmie attitude of Fake but Accurate.]
PJ, are you sure this isn't some LOUSY FREEPER TROLL posting this to yank their chains? It sounds just like the kind of veiled sarcasm I'd use if I were to ever troll over there. (Though I doubt I'd be able to coin a term such as "truthiness".)

I'm not condoning/supporting this article; just stating we may want to see how it rolls out.
Is there a special check-box for that on the application form, or is part of the essay section?
DU is just a step away from calling our boys "Baby Killers."
20!!?
