What a bunch of horse manure!

Why don't we just leave and let Sadam and friends kill all the civilians they want /sarcasm

Of course the bombs they had tied around their waist had nothing to do with their deaths.

NPR this morning was bemoaning the fate of a grove of date palms which American soldiers cut down (because they had six attacks carried out against them from the grove).

They interviewed irate Iraqis and emphasized the fact that each tree took decades to grow.

It was evident from the report that NPR thinks trees are more important than American soldiers' lives.

Perhaps "Human Rights Watch" could investigate how many Iraqis were killed by Baathists and AQ at the same time?

Oh ok that's not on the 'agenda' I see.

It seems to me that there is an effort to villify our soldiers. There has been an ugly story about the 101st Tigers from the Viet Nam war and a story about 8 Marines charged in a prisioner's death. And now this. The democrats are in a tough spot having to praise the troops for such good work early on and now trying to discredit the same for post Saddam efforts. This is just another attempt to invent a dark cloud for the silver lining.

For the life of me I can't understand why we didn't declare the entire country off-limits for all foriegners. Nobody was allowed into Japan without permission from MacArthur's headquarters fo several years after the VE day.

Why are these various groups and news org's allowed to run at will?

"Human Rights Watch said it was able to confirm 20 civilian deaths caused by U.S. forces in Iraq's capital between May 1 and Sept. 30, ..."

20?? That's all?

I'm not trying to be funny --every life is precious, but if only 20 civilians have died in these incidents then I have to say that my admiration for the discipline of our military and their devotion to purity of arms has just gone up a few more notches. These kids are great.
