Of course, the peaceniks will say WE planted this story to cover OUR atrocities.

[grumple]

The obvious question...who supplied him the uniforms?

[FreeTheHostages]

There's an identical breaking news thread on this that's been up for hours. Perhaps you should ask the admins to take yours down?

And if you ask them if they are this stupid, how can they find their way to work each day???
oh, nevermind.

Of course, the peaceniks will say WE planted this story to cover OUR atrocities.

First thought in my head too.

You can count on it... stupid Libs...

The French, of course.

Chicoms had to do something with those Clinton-ordered black berets.

(I still contend the black berets were made standard to attract minorities in the same manner that sports teams continue to go to black uniforms to get their apparel sales up. The even more cynical part of me says it's Clinton's personal joke on the military to outfit them like his spoogecatcher Monica.)

Just issue special black arm bands for our soldiers and that way we know who is who.

[Shaka]

We already have a way to identify us against them.


They just don't need to hear what it is...but, we'll know. They have no way to duplicate our special i.d.

During the Battle of the Bulge, English-speaking German soldiers donned US uniforms and did a lot of harm. When they were found and captured, they were all immediately lead to an open spot and shot. The same fate awaits any Iraqis in US uniforms. I'd bet none speak English and that should make them assume room temperature fast.

Liberal talk T.V. can't wait.

From a Democratic Undergrowth thread:

In truth, the troops that will be going door to door in Baghdad have probably been told to kill ANYONE in their search for Saddam, be it man, woman or child, as they were told to do in Afghanistan when they were searching for the Taliban

[The Old Hoosier]

Wow. What a wacko.

[grumple]

I think Clinton's attempt with the berets was to make them a uniform item for every soldier rather than their "earned" status for a limited few. He also took part in authorizing the transfer of the military combat boot contract to the Chinese too. This was a while back and right now I don't have the source on it. The cost of boots went up after that. This was his goal with the berets I believe. American dollars funnelled into Chinese military coffers via uniform equipment. He's a punk and a traitor and should be publically disgraced as such.

[Shaka]

Let me say this again...(WE) have a way of identifying friend or foe. They cannot replicate this way. It's probably a real blessing that this will not be a multi-national force going in. We will know who is NOT an American soldier.

[PhiKapMom]

Now we know why they are taking news reporters with them as they enter Iraq. They put the media through training to be able to be with the front line troops so the truth could get out!

First thought in my head was, all the anti war/dems say the US have been cutting off life to the children of Iraq with the sanctions. First, they are UN sanctions. (the one thing they have enforced) Second, the oil for food lift of said, was for that, not buying uniforms or weapons.

This just proves the point that Hussein cares more about his own arse than the well being of his citizens. This is truth and, we didn't make it up to make him look bad as we've been accused of.

The adage, actions speak louder than words applies.

Now we know where the money went.
