"Their stupidity no doubt cost additional American lives (through the backlash that ensued) and they went a long, long way to undo all the goodwill those of us that went through the war worked so hard and sacrificed do much to build"
The main thing that helped the lefts progaganda was the fact that we knew WMD's were getting shipped out of Iraq two days before the invasion(Tommy Franks) and yet we didn't act. So now the MSM can rant all day that they didn't find any WMD's.
If we would have stopped them or done something different perhaps we wouldn't be facing the backlash today. It might have changed the Operation of the war but I wan't to know who said not to stop them crossing. Who gave the order? Why didn't someone act?
However, the main thing that really pisses me off is the fact that those pictures of England and the others were part of a Military Investigation and were leaked(?) Correct? Has anyone tracked who did that? I want those people in prison more than England and her merry band. Those people are just as responsible for the backlash as well. The problem was being solved with due process before those pictures were on TV.
