The Cycle of Violence:
NOW WITH HYPERLINKED INSTRUCTION MANUAL

hen ceci connolley referred the other night (Special Report-Brit Hume, FoxNews) to the decapitation of Nick Berg by the islamofascist animals as "part of the cycle of violence," my hair stood up on end.

It was clear to me that Connolley, a leftist, was attempting to subtlely equate that unspeakable subhuman horror with the Dems' BushBash du jour, the so-called Iraqi-prisoner abuse.

(Equating the two explicitly would never sell, and besides, doing so wouldn't exactly be an image-enhancing move for Ms. Connolley, whose punditry has been certified never to breach the safely tautological.)

When I began to hear other lefties use the same term in precisely the same context, it became clear that "cycle of violence" was the Kerry-DNC response to the al-Qaeda slaughter.

By virtually ignoring the Nick Berg decapitation and instead continuing to foment the Iraqi-prisoner-"abuse" scandal, by attempting to draw a "cycle of violence" moral equivalency between the subhuman terrorists and a few infantile Americans, the left exposes its seditious, America-hating, power-hungry hand, its fundamental unfitness to serve... and a despicable brand of clinto-Kerryesque opportunism rooted in 60s-liberal cluelessness.

I can almost hear the whining. "We were on a roll with the Iraqi-prisoner "abuse." Why the [expletive] did al Qaeda have to one-up the Iraqi thing and kill our momentum?"

Senator Inhofe's statement on the floor of the Senate:

First of all, I regret I wasn't here on Friday. I was unable to be here but maybe it's better that I wasn't because as I watch this outrage -- this outrage everyone seems to have about the treatment of these prisoners -- I have to say, and I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.

The idea that these prisoners -- you know, they're not there for traffic violations. If they're in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners -- they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals.

And I hasten to say, yes, there are seven bad guys and gals that didn't do what they should have done. They were misguided. I think maybe even perverted. And the things they did have to be punished, and they're being punished. They're being tried right now and that's all taking place.

But I'm also outraged by the press and the politicians and the political agendas that are being served by this, and I say political agendas because that's actually what is happening.

I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons

When he was in charge, they would take electric drills and drill holes through hands, they would cut their tongues out, they would cut their ears off. We've seen accounts of lowering their bodies into vats of acid. All of these things were taking place.

This was the type of treatment that they had -- and I would want everyone to get this and read it. This is a documentary of the Iraq special report. It talks about the unspeakable acts of mass murder, unspeakable acts of torture, unspeakable acts of mutilation, the murdering of kids -- lining up 312 little kids under 12 years old and executing them.

Then, of course, what they do to Americans, too.....

We just saw what they do with Americans. They sawed off Nick Berg's head while chanting God is great. Just like they slashed the throat of Danny Pearl, and burned and mutilated the four in Fallujah, and flew those planes into the Pentagon and Twin Towers on 9/11.

I'm outraged that the Europeans and the left in this country don't understand the consequences of this War. I'm outraged that Teddy Kennedy compares our troops to Saddam Hussein. I'm outraged that Senators Levin and Dayton use the depravity of some bad apples to suggest "systemic" and "pervasive" abuse in our military, tarring the over 300,000 young men and women who have fought honorably for us in Iraq.

Please Thank Senator Inhofe for Having the Courage to Tell The Truth and Do The Right Thing!(Berg)
