My Post #269 from last night
I wish they would let this story chill out..they've been on it since Monday mid day. War is hell and waving a vehicle to stop is universal sign language. There are a reported 4000 hostiles pouring over the borders to help kill Americans. Troops have had several check point incidences already. Why can't the American public accept for one moment that a female is just as capable of committing terror crimes as a man? Also possible that the driver (I assume a female) was forced to do what she did to make some effective Iraqi propaganda? Hell, we don't know, but this story is damaging to troops who are watching cable news: it may cause them to hesitate the next time. Linda Vester and now Lori Duh are picking it apart by saying things like; "surely the guys will ALWAYS have second thoughts about what they've done?" It's a new day, maybe with things moving as fast as they are, the news channels should rotate a story once it's 12 to 24 hours old. It's over, it's sad, but a check point stop with three warnings is just that.
I think a huge percentage of the public realizes that. The liberal media is banging drums but not many people are marching.
