A post from DU, sorry if it's a re-post

"It was interesting to see the interviews being held with a few of the POWs captured by the Iraqis.

I noticed that the interviewers spoke in calm, comforting voices, and I saw how one of them put a gentle hand on the shoulder of the young African-American female. Her eyes seemed to express a terrible fear, and that is likely because she was trained/brainwashed by the US miltary to believe all Iraqis are blood-thirsty murderers.

I have faith that the experience of these POWs will leave them non-plussed and very confused. I expect that they will be given good treatment, decent food and clean quarters during their confinement, and that they will be released, unharmed when the time comes.

Maybe I'm just dreaming, but it is my hope that the POWs will discover that they were treated better by the Iraqis than they have ever been treated by the very people who are supposed to be protecting them on the battlefield. And, in the case of the African-American woman, she may find that people in the Middle East, unlike too many of the folks back home, do not consider her a second-class human being because of her dark brown skin!"

The DUmbies are totally clueless, are they not?

That is one of the most naive, makes-me-want-to-bang-my-head-against-the-wall-in-frustration-until-I-pass-out things I have read about this war.

And I imagine the POWs (and most of the military, for that matter) will find this insulting in the extreme.

So, thanks for posting it. Sometimes it's good to get angry.

You need a functioning brain in order to dream so you must be on life support, most likey in the form of food stamps and government checks.
