Hersh described video footage depicting U.S. atrocities in Iraq, which he had viewed, but not yet published a story about.
He described one video in which American soldiers massacre a group of people playing soccer.
Three U.S. armed vehicles, eight soldiers in each, are driving through a village, passing candy out to kids, he began. Suddenly the first vehicle explodes, and there are soldiers screaming. Sixteen soldiers come out of the other vehicles, and they do what theyre told to do, which is look for running people.
Never mind that the bomb was detonated by remote control, Hersh continued. [The soldiers] open up fire; [the] cameras show it was a soccer game.
About ten minutes later, [the soldiers] begin dragging bodies together, and they drop weapons there. It was reported as 20 or 30 insurgents killed that day, he said.
If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.
In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation, he said. It isnt happening now, but I will tell you there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.
He goes on to speculate that invading Iraq was one of the 12 steps in Bushs AA program.
... On the podium, Sy is willing to tell a story thats not quite right, in order to convey a Larger Truth. Sometimes I change events, dates, and places in a certain way to protect people, Hersh told me. I cant fudge what I write. But I can certainly fudge what I say.
I hope talk radio and Fox play this up. The Dems will have a hard time not letting loose. 5 days left.
He also is the one who said boys were raped by Americans. He is evil, and in a different time would have been locked up for what he's doing.
Hey, Hersh! Fudge YOU!
