Mere words cannot erase these images.

No Arab anger here!

No Arab/Muslim Anger here, either!

Where is the Arab Anger here? I just dont seeit!!

And I dont hear the Arab or Muslim world apologizing to us for these acts, either, I hear them rejoicing over it!

[RaceBannon]

Nope, no Arab/Muslim outrage over these pictures, either!!

Boo frickin hoo!

[WHBates]

Personally I don't give a sh*t about Arab anger or the Arab street. I do can about American anger and the American street.

[DoctorMichael]

Bump!

[Joe Boucher]

At this point I don't give a damn how the "arab", countries feel about the United States.
These soldiers did wrong and will be held acountable as will those that allowed it or encouraged it to happen.
Do I feel bad? Hell no I didn't do it. Did the Muslims or arabs appologize for 9-11?

[jammer]

IIRC, you're a strong Christian. I am.

Was your teaching different from mine, i.e., that one savage act justifies or exonerates us from doing something not close to as savage, but wrong? I think not.

These pics may serve a propaganda purpose to the choir of believers, but they don't justify our actions. I know your rage--I feel it too, but this is gratuitous.

[prairiebreeze]

Arabs and Muslims were just as angry the day before these photos came out as the day after. BFD.

It's naive to think that the apology was meant to influence the "arab street".

[CzarNicky]

I haven't really seen any Arab anger. Where are the mass protests in the street. Could it be that the Arab in the street going about their business don't really care if a few disrupters get marched around naked?

[dougherty]

Right on! They are an angry, bitter people. They've been this way for hundreds of years and it will be the same a hundred years from today.

Uh Oh....you're gonna get in trouble for posting THOSE pics..../sarcasm.

Rumsfeld Apology Fails to Calm Arab Anger

"Having Every American and Israeli Man, Woman and Child Commit Hari Kari Except for One Survivor Fails to Calm Arab Anger"

[jbarntt]

Rummy just isn't sensitive to other cultures and peoples. I think he missed the sensitivity training sessions. To help him, let's review "Apologizing to Islamic terrorists, 101":

1. Launch RPG at your car when you are driving.
2. Drag your dying body onto the street.
3. Pour gasoline on yourself.
4. Smoke cigarette.
5. Enjoy acclaim from cheering crowd.
6. Do encore on bridge.

For extra credit, apologize to Dems in congress for driving an SUV and supporting the evil tobacco lobby.

STOP APOLOGIZING TO THE ENEMY TORTURE HUMILIATE EXTERMINATE HIM OR BE PREPARED TO GET TORTURED HUMILIATED AND EXTERMINATED

[WayneM]

And they loved us so much before all this came out.

Who gives a rat's a$$? We need to do what is right and ignore the naysayers and the dark forces.

[F.J. Mitchell]

So! The apoligies issued by President Bush and Secretary of defence, is too little-too late to pacify you Arab Muslim terrorist sonovabitches, is it! Well both guys work for me, and embarrassed the hell out of me by offering an apology to you scum sucking hoodlums who owe more apologies to more people than anyone ever owed in the history of the world.

You sonovabitches invented atrosities. It's no wonder you invented Allah, for no real God would ever admit to being your creator. If Muslims and Arabs are not possed by the devil, the devil could take lessions in evil, from whatever does possess you hateful bastards.

If the apologies you were given in my name by my hired hands without my permission, doesn't satisfy you-you can kiss Arafat's pie hole!

[joesbucks]

And I dont hear the Arab or Muslim world apologizing to us for these acts, either, I hear them rejoicing over it!

So they are heathens. So they don't comprehend the value of human life.

So I guess the answer is do unto others as you would equally as they have done unto you?

And I thought our religion was a religion of love.

An excellent collection and point.

A good companion article to the pictures:

Getting a Grip on the Iraqi Prison Scandal
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1131996/posts

It's long past time for the U.S. to get a grip - and realize that we're in the fight of our lives with people who viciously murdered 3,000 of our neighbors in the heart of America's cultural and financial capital.

If the U.S. is serious about winning, it can't collapse into a convulsion of self doubt and recrimination every time a probable terrorist claims he was mistreated by his U.S. captors.

Instead of apologizing for the actions of troops who have been dispatched to a Middle Eastern hellhole half-a-world-away to keep the wolf from our door, the Bush administration should get off the defensive and begin to put this over-hyped episode in perspective.

A few points should be emphasized:

* The overwhelming majority of inmates at the Abu Ghriab prison were suspected of having participated in or having knowledge of attacks against U.S. soldiers. Very few of the prisoners were common street criminals.

* The photographs of prisoners being abused were taken at a cellblock known as "The Hard Site," where the worst and most dangerous were being detained.

* To date, there's no evidence whatsoever that any of the prisoners depicted in humiliating photos suffered anything more than embarrassment.

[ArmstedFragg]

Interestingly enough, if the Iraqi blogs Road of a Nation and Iraq The Model are any indication, the "Arab Anger" doesn't extend to most of the Arabs who live in Iraq.

I guess you have to be a Jordanian consultant or former Saddam administration flunkie in order to get quoted.
