You said that rather well, I think.

I could not agree more....and while they are showing OUR mutilated soldiers and contractors, perhaps the media should also show the bodies falling and jumping to their deaths from the WTC towers.

DAMMIT...this is a WAR!!! and I am so sick and tired of all this PC bullsh*t. There seems to a massive, collective cognitive dissonance going on in this country (and the world). WE were attacked and are still being attacked, not only by the terrorists, but by the media and international
opinion. WE have a right and duty to defend ourselves.

Having said that. The actions by those pathetic few at Abu Ghraib is indefensible. The military can and will deal with them. They humiliated not only those prisoners, but also their fellow soldiers and country.

Rant off. (but I reserve the right to jump in later if I feel moved to do so.)

You go Rushmore!

No disent here. I am sick of fat, ignorant Islamists preaching their death cult to me every chance they get, while they prove their barbarism with their actions and deeds. Islam has brought a lot of death to Americans and Israelis in the last few years, and sadly, more will be coming because we cant get our act together.

We are fighting a war, but no one is supposed to get hurt.

We are trying to defend ourselves, while some members of our society are trying to destroy us from within.

We are trying not to offend other countries and people, and our troops die as a result.

They revel in our deaths, and yet we try not to upset them.

I'm even sicker of the sheltered, ignorant, un-educated talking heads on the television who enable them by not being able to seperate politics (which is their religion) from self preservation.

This will only get uglier Rushmore until we wise up. The only thing these bandits understand is the "Sherman approach"

I could just pull my hair out some days. It's beyond belief that we would be at this point not even 3 years after the worst attack on our country in history.

Yes, I know we're not supposed to be as bad as the bad guys, we're the good guys, and aren't supposed to sink to their level. But where are the photos of the dead and twisted bodies from the WTC?

There were a few available shortly after the attack, but they rapidly disappeared. They were even on one thread on FR, or linked to FR, and I managed to save one, truly awful, of a hand and part of the wrist, lying on the ground, no body nearby.

But the rest of them had to be pulled by someone or other, our sensitivities are not up to the truth anymore, I guess.

Think what would have happened during WWII, when the photos came out of the extermination camps, because no one would believe the camps were real unless they saw the photos. I even have an old yellowed newspaper that someone saved, that shows the dead and near dead, practically skeletal in form, on the front pages of the newspaper! Where is that today?

Well, looks like today there's an effort underway to make sure we don't believe or remember what happened to us not even 3 years ago.

Let's keep looking at those Iraqi prisoners though. The media can't get enough of it, apparently.
