" this is a show of raw power by us,"

but isn't that power moot now that the photos have been sold or leaked? the soldiers involved are being personally held accountable and are being punished publically. what a great day for Islam! the infidels are fighting amoung themselves and there are many willing to aid in adding fuel to the fire.

It wouldn't be if the average American wasn't such a sissy. I never did understand what the big deal was. Sure it wasn't a nice thing to do, so slap the guards on the wrist and get over it. I think the President made a huge mistake by apologizing. Should have just said that war is hell and bad things happen.

If the bad guys don't want to risk being embarrassed they should quit killing American soldiers and behave. Is that such an unreasonable request?
