The number of prisoners taken will start to go down and KIAs will go up I would figure.

Rush was not right.

Rush was right about one thing he said yesterday. After he heard that President Bush apologized to the king of Jordan he said the next thing coming will be compensation to the abused prisoners. Rumsfeld said exactly that.

If we had just shot em on the spot, that would have been the end of it.

Is that the best insight you have to share?

Why even take prisoners in the first place if this is the grief you're going to get?

Just imagine the hearing where they keep asking "Where are the prisoners?"

If only. I'm jumping in late here but need to know if there's any trust to the Fox news alert saying that Rummy not only apologized but is offering "compensation".

I'm so sorry these terrorist animals were treated like animals instead of being shot.

I don't know if you are kidding or not but that is EXACTLY what Joe Biden said on the Senate floor yesterday. He said they would have been better off if they had been shot. I'm NOT kidding you.

+What do Warner's questions about the impact have to do with the purpose of this "investigation"?

If I may: Warner's question was excellent. He was pointing out the HARM done by the media publishing these pictures.

THAT's what his question was about.

It was obvious that's what he was getting at. Myers clarifying for you now.

Maybe as a country at a designated time of day, we should all face Mecca, bow down and beg forgiveness from Allah.


Sarcasm Alert!

Yep. Now they are going on about my one sentence hit. All that I said was:

My heart bleeds watching you people root for the Islamists!!

Got a few good feedback hits out of it.

"No info on war but this stuff goes on in prisons in the US and in schools (remember that football stuff) and there are no major hearings on TV and no governors are thrown out of office..."

Excellent point about prisons/governors. Male-on-male prison rape is epidemic but rarely makes the news and is rarely punished, nor are there mass firings of prison wardens.

Myers: everyone determined to see it though.

Warner: I would anticipated you have consulted with colleagues in CENTCOM and will continue to assess increase.

Myers: We will not underestimate impact. It was the pictures that prompted him to try to delay. thought pictures would have bad effect on troops, perhaps resulting in death to our forces.
