Wich makes us better than them RIGHT?

YES

Wich means we have rules and regulations that we follow RIGHT?

YES

Wich means  that those responsible partys will be brought to justice RIGHT?

YES

The Army started an investigtion on this BY THE BOOK prior to any public knowledge.  Everything that can be done to prevent things like this in the future is being done.

So why are librals so outraged and asking for Rumsfelds resignation over this??????

were was the outrage when the burned bodies were dragged throught the street???? Your explanation is:  they are savages and we should come to expect that?

Because prisoner abuse appears to be common practice, and he knew about it and did not inform congress or the american people. That is why.

Someone needs a lesson in the difference between "racial stereotype" and "reality".

Would you care to have a game of poker?  No card stereotyping allowed of course. :rolleyes:

Racial sterotyping has been the life-blood of political cartoons.

Don't see anything wrong with it. You have to get the message across in one frame.

Is stereo typing like writing two business letters at the same time?

no it doesn't, wasn't and isn't.

No... as stated before, investigation into the matter was well underway when news broke publicly.  

Yes he "probably" should have, but his reasoning not to "should" be well understood given the FACT that it would simply be more ammo for the Ameerika haters.

The proof is in the pudding - watch Rummy's testimony.  Apparently he was more interested in launching an investigation and finding out exactly what happened upon learning of the "abuse" than calling a press conference.

A man doing his job without the spotlight - unthinkable.

Great stuff! Eagler. I expect you'll be making a donation to C.A.U.S.E. - I'll punt it up so you can see where and how to do it.
