ED was pretty angry this morning -- and good for her. She is outraged at the silence from the left on these disgraceful torturous murders. Where is Murtha condeming the terrorists for killing in cold blood -- oops, wait a minute, he reserves those statements for our Marines. I'm beyond disgusted with the liberals and the media -- last night on LKL Jane Harmen blamed the deaths of these troops on President Bush and his policies. Yup...she did, she didn't blame the terrorists. Indicating yet again, that the democrats can never again be put in a place of power to make decisions to protect this country. When the democrats openly state that our country is the enemy, and not recognize the real enemy -- the terrorists -- they must be stopped from gaining any power. The debate in the senate today should be interesting, I'm sure Sessions will come out swinging, as will Kyle and others. Too bad I have to go to work!
I happened to notice today that my local newspaper had a rather vague wire service story "blaming" the killing on the fact that the soldiers apparently had no backup and mentioning as an aside the fact that the bodies appeared to have been mutilated. This story is already going away.
I don't like the idea of dwelling on the hideous things that were done to these men (the few details I have seen have been here and not in the press), but we already see the press sanitizing it and making it vanish because it might make the terrorists look bad. I am completely disgusted. These men died truly horrible deaths, from what little I have seen, and their fellow citizens are not even being allowed to be angry about it or to do anything but look for some way to "blame" George Bush.
These torture murders were committed by vicious Islamic terrorists using the same tactics (skinning, beheading, disemboweling, etc.) that they used against the British in Afghanistan more than a century ago and in fact have used for 1400 years. We are facing an ancient enemy of civilization that understands only one thing: superior force. But Murtha and his ilk are undermining our resolve and condemning the very people who are protecting our country and the world from these psychotic fanatics. And America sleeps through this, protected from the truth by a press that has given its allegiance to the terrorists and anyone who hates us, and doesn't realize that our civilization and all our lives - theirs included - are on the line.
