U.S. Soldiers Tortured: Where Is the Outrage?
FoxNews/Fox&Friends Blog ^ | 6-21-06 | E.D. Hill

Posted on 06/21/2006 9:44:51 AM PDT by TomGuy

I'm mad.

The New York Times wants closed. The San Jose Mercury News claims that Gitmo nurtures a culture of death. The Cleveland Plain Dealer wants Gitmo closed. Journalists and editorial staffs are up in arms that there might possibly be some kind of torture occurring.

So what do they say when torture OBVIOUSLY occurs? How do they react when two U.S. servicemen — in -approved uniforms — have their hearts cut out, their testicles cut off, their penises cut off and stuffed in their mouths, arms contorted and eyes gouged? THIS is torture.

Another example of the utter failure of the Junk Media as a serious source of information. So what did the Traitor Press say today?

Hey, it makes President Bush look bad, so to the MSM and dimocrats, it's a good thing.

Stop at nothing to make Bush look bad, that is their entire strategy, nothing more.

Words cannot express the horror that was inflicted upon these two brave men. I hope they weren't alive when these atrocities were inflicted upon them.

THIS is true true face of Islamo-fascism. They did the same things to a French Jew, only because he was Jewish. Islam is the greatest threat to civilization, since the Nazi's.

To the left, it is only torture if it happens to a non-American.

For all the FoxNews whiners: I don't think you'll see Dan Rather or Katie Couric do this.

First I heard of this. I have purposely avoided this story so as not to get MY blood to boil, knowing what the outcome was going to be.

Oh well.

That is what should be done to the man who did it to them. And I would be HAPPY to do it.

I'm outraged!

We need more tv stations and newspapers to voice the outrage of the American public over this kind of madness!

I had O'Reilly on last night as I was working. He interviewed Laura Ingram, who I think is absolutely brilliant on the radio (8-10 PM for me on WABC Radio 770 in NY). They talked about how the lame media will barely mention the torture of these two fine young soldiers. I thought I heard this morning that al-Zarqawi's replacement (still don't know his name yet) claimed personal responsibility for these deaths.

We need to strike hard and keep striking until the terrorists are gone and their jihad and islamofascism is completely eliminated. Keep fighting the bad guys including the media who are mostly anti-American.

Thats right .... and not only that,
Iraqi forces who had trained with the Americans had fired at them twice before the incident that killed Patrick McCaffrey, and he had reported it to his superiors, she said.

Not quite. Third world tyrants and terrorists can torture non-Americans with impunity. The media only cares when blame can be laid at the feet of George Bush, Republicans, America, white people or Western Civilization in general. e.g., you never heard boo in the meida about what Idi Amin did to his people, but they never got tired of wringing their hands over the South African apartied regime.

Excellent point.

Many on the left want the US to lose.

It's that simple.

The lack of moral outrage, coverage and communication concerning this atrocity by the MSM and even certain members of US government, only clarifies and spotlights who the enemy actually is - he is among us.

Now, what do we do about it?

One noticeable thing about these demonstrations is that they are all lead by women and supported by girlie men.

WHERE ARE REAL MEN GOING TO HIT THE STREETS IN SUPPORT OF OUR PRESIDENT AND TROOPS?

How do they react when two U.S. servicemen — in Geneva Convention-approved uniforms — have their hearts cut out, their testicles cut off, their penises cut off and stuffed in their mouths, arms contorted and eyes gouged? THIS is torture.

I'll tell you how the NYSlimes will react ... it might make it below the fold front page the first day ... after that, if the story is covered at all it will be buried on page 8.
Of course when the Abu Ghraib story broke ... you know, the panties over the head dog snarls at prisoner story ... the NYSlimes had it on the front page for nearly two months. Over 140 stories written on it in the first 60 days.
