I like the way that sounds..waaay kewl..kudos...
Excellent rant, IronJack! A keeper. :o)
Indeed. (Quite frankly, I see them as trivial right now). But don't be surprised if many leftists claim that we were the victim of such an attack because of the Abu Ghraib shenanigans.
Publish this far and wide...bravo, Mr. Jack!
Kudos for a top-notch rant.
Has it not occurred to anyone that the images of a man with underwear over his head prove the precise opposite of abuse; he has pants on his head because his interrogators are not allowed to hit him. If his interrogators were brutes there are many more direct methods of getting him to talk, a leap from a helicopter, a gun to the head of his cellmate... It is precisely because such things are forbidden that the interrogators must invent other, sillier kinds of pressure.
Pants on the head, prisoners dancing naked, prisoners forced to watch Gilligan re-runs is not proof of abuse, it is proof that the Americans are not harming them and are not going to. So they must annoy them instead. Tell us what you know and you can put your pants back on.
Good rant. Had a 150-word short version letter to the editor published in the local paper recently.
Good old regular sex may mean something else, thanks to those "outraged" RATs who forgot Clinton had oral-anal sex with Monica, in the Oval Office.
I just caught the last past of Oreily's talking points, and if I heard it right, the NY Times has made Abu Ghraib a part of its front page stories for the last 28 days. What's worse, is that he mentioned that the the latest terrorist warnings...complete with the 7 photos of the terrorists, was buried deep within the newspaper. Talk about a complete lack of perspective.

Then what is their rationalization for 9/11?
If "the average Iraqi" was fighting American troops in defense of the Saddam regime, then he was either a fool, a coward, or a butcher. Whatever his reason, he was The Enemy, and we owe him nothing except some modicum of humanity.
Leaving out the conspiratorial ones......let's see....."the administration ignored the intel warnings" probably tops their list. But nowadays the leftists have fresh meat if another major attack on our soil should happen -- "We've created millions of more bin Ladens through our 'arrogance' and 'hypocrisy'. They'll also mostly like throw out words and phrases like "imperialism" and "going it alone." Whatever, the rationalizations would be there, and they'll all be aimed at the administration's supposed incompetence.
Not only the Dems but their cohorts in the liberal media and even Republicans like Linsey Graham who joined their hyperventilating by prematurely predicting this would go WAY UP the chain of command and become a genuinely HUGE scandal smearing the entire military and the administration.
I'm sick of all of them.
You and me both. This tempest is too small for its teapot.
You are not alone, IronJack!
Taxman Bravo Zulu for a simply outstanding piece of writing. You have eloquently captured my sentiments.
Hey, Tax. Good to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words. What's new in your corner of the culture wars?
