Let's just hang those Marines accused in the Haditha incident. Get it over with. They don't need a court martial. They're guilty. The media already decided the case.
A few other Marines and soldiers are also accused of murder in Iraq. Save our tax dollars. Just hang them, too.
Forget the stresses of combat. Forget that war really is hell. Whatever you do, don't mention the atrocities committed by the terrorists or insurgents.
Those two young American soldiers tortured to death a few weeks ago? Bury that story fast. The terrorists are the good guys. We're the only torturers.
Don't close Guantanamo. Put our troops in the cells. There's no surer way to quell the media's outrage over Gitmo than freeing the terrorists held there and filling it with our soldiers. Don't worry about individual charges. Collective guilt applies.
Ignore history. Let's pretend that warfare can be waged with absolute sterility, without so much as giving the enemy a broken fingernail. War isn't about fighting. It's about making people happy.
Civilian casualties? The thousands of Iraqis slain by terrorists were legitimate targets. Iraqi civilians are only innocent victims when Americans kill them.
And avoid the true potential parallel with the Vietnam War--after we cut and ran those peace-loving Communists killed at least ten million civilians in cold blood in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
Let's all get on-message: America is the real evil empire, American troops are homicidal maniacs, and the world would be a better place if we just surrendered and let a non-partisan committee of Islamists, Chinese, Russians and Europeans run it.
Think of how much better off the world would be without us: If American-imperialist thugs had stayed out of World War II, we wouldn't have that nasty Israel problem.

Thanks Norm for posting the links.
Semper Fi,

Ping.
Our leaders need to stand up for those in uniform. While criminal actions must be investigated, when challenged with media exaggerations or outright lies our leaders need to fight back - and to hammer home that there is no such thing as an immaculate war...The hate-America bigots in the media shouldn't get away with lynching our troops.
Looks just great, wonder what he'll say next!!
Thanks LE!

Even my mother has noticed the tone of the msm and she is a democrat (not of the socialist kind).
DAILY prayers for our soldiers. Absolutely.
Nobody, Ench, nobody.
You will never hear the media say they were wrong.
Why does people believe the Iraqui prisoner? It seems to be common knowledge that those folks are trained to lie about deeds done by the marines, they know we go out of our way to appease.
Thanks. Bookmarking for the am. Pooped tonight!
Thanks for the ping!

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday he was troubled by allegations that U.S. Marines had killed unarmed Iraqi civilians and that, if in fact laws were broken, there will be punishment.
It was Bushs first public comment on allegations that Marines killed about two dozen unarmed Iraqi men, women and children in the western city of Haditha last November. >>
