If Drudge is right that the Pentagon is planning to dump more abuse photos from Abu Ghraib, there is no use --we should just surrender.
If I had a loved one in harm's way, I'd tell them to desert. We can't win a war this way. Our media and governmanetal elites simply won't let us win this war.
Bush is too weak and the Republicans in Congress are intimidated by the big Beltway Media. The grunt and the Average patriotic American doesn't have anybody fighting for them.
There is no mass movement to defend the honor of the American military and there is no internal movement within the Pentagon or this Administration to say "Enough, we ain't giving the Rats in the media anymore sh*t to weaken us and boost the our enemies. We got a post-modern, post-nam Military brass-- not a pair of balls on any of them. There simply is no push back. The Schumers, the Durbins, the Moores and the MSM are more committed than the Right is.
I understand why recruitment is down-- the damn Generals don't defend the grunts. They keep giving more and more ammo to the Islamisofascists and the Enemies within. Tell me where I'm wrong.
You again? More Rah, Rah from you, eh?
Well first, get your facts together. The Pentagon has been ordered to release these items. It is not their choosing.
Dude. Try to keep it together. If war were easy or cheap we would do it all the time.
Don't go wobbly on us.
I do agree that the administration hasn't done a great job of managing perceptions of this war. We're winning the military war, but the real war is the war of information and public perceptions. That war isn't going real well, and the enemy seems to have seized the initiative and they're constantly on offense.
Patience, my friend. Read the milblogs when you get discouraged. A sea-change has already happened in Iraq. In northern Iraq, our boys don't even go around with body armor.
Yeah, by some Communist scum. Appeal the damn thing. Get held in contempt. The country would cheer if somebody at the Pentagon said, "We ain't releasing anything. It's duplicative and isn't in the national interest to do so. So f*ck off."
The conservatives are disgruntled, and if they are still digruntled come November, 2005 the RINOS will probably lose both houses.
The Republicans don't have a clue on how to use their newly mandated leadership posts and will be in for a rude awakening come January, 2006.
And they will have nobody to blame except themselves.
The military should declare them classified and tell the judge to eff off.
Your letting the leftist Koolaid fumes emitted by the media get to you. Step back and take some clean deep breaths.
Everyone who's pro-military in this country is so cowed. I think there needs to be a grassroots mass movement to push back. We're letting the 60s Pinkos destroy another generation of American heroes and cause us to lose another war. We got Republicans saying we should get out, recuitment is down and now we got a pissload of new enemy-bolstering photos coming out. I can't take this sh*t.
I don't know about you, but I'd like to see the administration sidestep this court order.
Maybe the laws allows them to withhold the materials based on their potential harm to national security. Or maybe some clever lawyer could come up with some other fig-leaf argument for holding on to these items.
HOW MUCH DOES BUSH HAVE TO WIN BEFORE YOU ARE CONVINCED??
The score does not matter until the end of the game.
What ever happened to the politics of persoanl destruction-- we got a commie, 5th Column bastard with his rotton doped out sons giving blow jobs when their not reading Marx getting the kids of loyal Americans killed with this sh*t. I am spitting mad. This Commie Judge should be destroyed. Period.
RELAX.
Hmm....you seem to have faith in cowboys, but not much else.
excuse the vulgarity everyone please...
what the f*ck are you talking about? American boys (and girls) are bleeding for your stupid ASS to say stupid things. Who are you trying to be? Dick Durbin?
YOu have no idea. Stick to what you know (which from what I can tell, isnt very much). Crawl back under your G-damned rock.
Well bless you for caring about this issue so much -- I wish others did too. I think there are reasons for good cheer -- we're not in the same position we were in the 1960's (even though the libs have fantasies that we are). Now we have FR and blogs and email and talk radio and Fox news, and a majority of voters on our side. That's not nothing!
I wish things were going better, but war always has dark times -- we're Americans, and compared to what we've been through before, this is nothing we can't handle.
