No doubt about it. ......the backlash has already begun, in fact.

They may have already. We will see how the poll numbers go. It will be interesting to see if the GOP leadership get out in front of this and calls the Rats on their treasonous use of this "scandal." I cannot

Guess we will know about a weak from today how much legs this one has. I truly wonder if people really care. It does point out that the ultimate sin for the left is to harm enemies of our troops. I would dearly love to see someone like Cheney let loose on that one. WE have had more than enough Mea Cuplas. Time to start swinging.

They are going to overplay their hand here.

There are 18,000+ active court martial proceedings underway at any given time in the US services. Our 1,000,000+ US troops commit offenses, from wife beating to theft to murder, and always have. The press needs to look at everything in perspective. Our military personnel are mostly made up of fine young men and women. But many factors, let alone the circumstances of serving in a hotile combat environment, make some folks, including US G.I.'s go bad. In Vietnam we had fraggings (murder of superiors), drug dealing, rampant theft, etc on an ongoing basis. The military teaches you that it's ok to kill. So a lot of troops say to themselves, "During my tour, anything goes." Unfortunately, they often live, at least at times, with that code, for the rest of their lives.

I beleive that they already have. No true American condones abuse of POW's. The circus being provided by the vast left wing conspiracy to politicize everything every day (to harm W) has been perceived for what it is...a series of political attacks against our preident in an election year.

They are pulling out all the stops this time around. This could be the last time they have a shot at the oval office for a very long time.
