    You know damn well that the Democrats will exploit this for maximum political effect. Stories like this give them an extra bounce in their step and a gleam in their eye.

    No more than American troops committing murder.

    After all, the Democrats are the only party that plays politics with the military, right? :rolleyes:

    They are the only ones who get all giddy over bad news out of Iraq.

    You must have some pretty long arms, if you can reach their throats from behind your f-in keyboard. Careful you don't strain yourself. I hear carpal tunnel syndrome is a b****.

    You make this claim over and over, have yet to provide even one example of Democrats becoming giddy over bad news out of Iraq. You have NEVER PROVIDED EVIDENCE that Democrats are happy when these kinds of things happen.

    Watch the news. Of course, they won't be singing "Zippity Do Dah", but you can tell they're loving it - especially John al-Murtha. Al-Murtha was looking to exploit the dead at Haditha to gain Stenny Hoyer's leadership position.

    Sorry "you can tell" just doesn't cut it when you are accusing someone of something so rotten. "You can tell" isn't evidence. From watching Murtha and listening to his proposals, and the fact that he is friendly with top military brass I would think the "You can tell" on him leans that is far from happy about any of this.

    Murtha's thrilled with this. It's gotten him tons of publicity on a number of TV shows. It's his 15 minutes of fame and if hurts the USMC, no biggie.

    You can't argue the merits, so you attack the character. If you disagree with the substance of Murtha's, or the 9/11 widows, (insert Democrat/liberal/reporter here) positions, then make your case based on their position vs. your position. You bray about "liberal infallibility" because you're afraid to engage the actual ideas.

    Yet another charge without one shred of evidence.

    Does seeing the world through rose colored glasses help you cope with the truth? Honestly, Gwayneco, your recent posts are getting so Ann Coulter-ish I'm beginning to think you are growing moobs and snorting a half-ounce of blow a day.

    Whatever,...I'm talking about the military you idiot. Why don't you come to my house at the dead of night, try to break in and I'll show you how I can go for the throat very easily without a keyboard in front of me...

    I'm only reacting to what I see coming from the BusH!itler Democrats and their sycophants.

    the troops are not police. if this turns out to be true, it just proves what an incredibly bad situation they have been put in.

    You are a blatant sourpuss with no meritable ideas whatsoever. Kinda like the pussyfoot far side you are on.

    OK.

    Just to let you know...I never thought or insinuated that Dubya was Hitler.

    I see him more like the product of a menage a-trois between Warren G. Harding, Howdy Doody and his brother Neil. :D

    You should try reacting to facts instead.

    I do. After (rather than in*) I hear a news report about Haditha or Abu Graib, I wait to see how the Democratic Rapid Response Team plays it in the press. That's what I'm reacting to.
