Dug this up from three years ago, huh? Enjoy your short stay here, moron.
The big difference is, when it was found out that the soldiers were mistreating Iraqi prisoners, there was a huge uproar condemning those soldiers, and they faced legal consequences in a military court.
So the answer is no, it wasn't "okay." It was heavily criticized.
We have yet to see such universal condemnation in the Islamic world of suicide bombers, let alone some form of legal action against terrorism.
Yes, we know that. We also know that Bush gave Saddam a major heads-up, so to speak, that he was going to invade. There was plenty of time to move the stuff.
We also know that the Clinton administration believed there were WMDs.
Bush on Islam:
"Islam affirms God's justice and insists on man's moral responsibility," said the president, flanked by a half-dozen imams. "Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind."
Churchill on Islam:
Quotation of the Decade?
Gregory Smith offers this Churchill comment on that great religion we are not fighting against, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248 50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
A righteous man tells the truth, a spineless puppet mouths platitudes.
That really is an exceptional analogy. Reagan called 'em as he saw 'em. Bush doesn't.
We wipe out the moon god himself. If their god is so powerful, why would he allow his people to be destroyed so easily? Take out their mosques, their holy places first. Intentionally commit sacrilege on them, bury them in pig skins, burn them after death. In short, make them ashamed to be Muslim.
Hmm
Since when did Bush convert to Islam?
What are you talking about?
Do you think being a Christian means Bush has to start a religious war with Muslims?
Right. The smart thing to do would be to start a religious war with Islam.
Go back to DU.
Bush is the NUMBER ONE leader in the war on terrorism this world has EVER SEEN.
You're the frickin moron.
