I don't find that, I think there is a majority of people ready to form a backlash - our contractors are burned and hung from bridges, their bodies ripped apart - and then you see some iraqi on a leash.

One doesn't justify the other. We're Americans. We're better than that. (Well, most of us.)

And it bears mentioning that these photos are from last year, long before there was much of an "insurgency" or whatever the BS PC term for it is.

What happened at that prison represents a terrible failure. It's not the people who leaked the photos who have put us in jeapordy. It was those men and women who disgraced their uniforms and the Flag of the United States.

I've got news for you - we are never going to be able to fight and win a war under those standards, we might as well just give the country to the islamofascists right now.

that's not to say that we NEED to do things like this to win - we don't. But in every war, things like this are going to happen, and the entire military apparatus cannot be held hostage to the acts of every single US soldier. That would mean that one soldier or one group of soldiers can lose a war for us, this is the standard that the Dems and the media want us to live up to. Its not possible.
