But .. it's possible that the villagers were being too friendly to the Americans ??
Here's my scenario: A group of villagers were gathered together and held hostage in the house. Our guys came down the street .. the terrorists started shooting at us .. we shot back .. then the terrorists turned and shot all the villagers and ran out of the house screaming that the Americans shot all the people .. does that about cover it ..??
And .. what tipped me off .. all of a sudden this statement was made .. "it was women and children and old people". Hmmmmm?? Now .. where have I heard that before .. oh yeah, when we bombed several terrorist hideouts at the beginning of the war (because they were shooting at us), and they all claimed it was a wedding party and there were "women and children and old people".
The whole incident stinks to high heaven .. and I believe this was a set-up from the beginning.
You know how Rush has made a point of showing how the terrorists are always repeating the democrat talking points? Well .. what have the dems been saying, "bring the troops home now". What better way to make that happen ... discredit our military and then the terrorists can march in protests in the street (like they see the dems do) and DEMAND THE NEW IRAQI GOVT FORCE THE USA TO GO HOME.
[end of story]
Like I said, it was a setup from the beginning.
I was against us going into Iraq, but from 2 seconds after went in, we had to set this straight. Nobody in their right mind thinks that abandoning Iraq, an oil rich country with a sizable radical element, will help our security at home.
A defeat here, to the Democrats, would ensure that they would never try again. They would be happy that they have a radical Islamic state and would not cause us any harm. As long as we all take a walk around the Karballa...(stolen idol from other religions)
