Nobody in the rest of the world cared about Tailhook or about Waco, but this one is different. Those who consider they are at war with America care a lot about this one. It won't go away in 100 years. Remember, they are still fighting battles of 800 years ago.

While I would not condone or recommend it, IF the US kept doing things like this, the Islamofascist might begin to respect the US more. They certainly respected Saddam who brutalized Iraqis far worse.

Now that is not our way, but I do not buy into this great harm to the US claim. Similarly, I did not scream for flattening Al Falluja just to get their respect. If we start behaving like uncivilized Islamics, they will have in one sense won.

However, kicking their butts in battle and being tough is what we need to do. Will someone occasionaly go over the line. Sure. People did in WWII, WWI, the Civil War the Revolutionary War etc. I think what I have seen so far is not terribly over the line, but not what we do never-the-less. So some soldiers will be sanctioned. That happens in every war too.

Our Great-Great-Great Grandchildren will paying for the abuses of the Iraqi prisoners when they patrol the streets of Middle Eastern nations well into the next century. The people of Islam have a very long memory.

How often do we hear about "Arab Outrage". Really, I kinda get a bit tired of it. Every time a Rabbi passes gas, the Arab World is Outraged. The Arab World is a culture of non-producing, non-hacking cry babies. It should be our job to outrage them.

As for what went on with the prisoners, juvenile, unprofessional, and completely prosecutable under UCMJ. The real damage will be all the PC fallout that will hinder our intelligence interaction's of future captured lowlifes.

These A'HOLES have, and are withholding intel that could save Americans. They intended to kill, and plan to kill Americans in the future. Playing nude Twister should be the least of their concerns. BTW, from what I understand of Muslim Arabs, getting molested probably brings them back to their boyhood memories.
