Are you a buffoon? You are trying to provide justification for the
attacks
against troops from your own country?


Separate issues - please answer the first question, and don't combine it in
any way with #2.

1) What behavior would you like to see from people who see us as an invader?
A massive letter-writing campaign?


2) Keep in mind that our own military brass have said they don't believe
that the bulk of the "insurgency" is coming from over the border. And, keep
in mind, also, that they have better information to back up this belief than
you or I will EVER have, at least until the history books are written. Do
you feel YOU have information that they don't?

The insurgents who were piled naked in a pile, or leashed like a dog while
lying naked on the floor, did not die. So how can you even compare those
acts to what the terrorists did to those civilian contractors in Fallujah?

It may be too early to be comparing. There are also allegations of rape
and murder. If those allegations are true, dead is dead.

It's been widely accepted that there are three groups that we're fighting:
1) former Baathists, 2) Shiites with Iranian backing, and 3) al Qaeda
terrorists from the surrounding Middle Eastern countries. None of them are
"lawful" combatants as defined by the Geneva Convention...and, thus, none
are entitled its protections.



2) Keep in mind that our own military brass have said they don't believe
that the bulk of the "insurgency" is coming from over the border.

I've seen where *some* of the commanders have said that, but I wouldn't say
that that's the general consensus.
In fact, most of the top guys say that the majority of the organized
terrorist/suicide attacks come from non-Iraqi combatants.

And, keep
in mind, also, that they have better information to back up this belief
than
you or I will EVER have, at least until the history books are written. Do
you feel YOU have information that they don't?

I guess that depends upon who you are talking about. Post just one or two
reputable links where one of our top guys says that the majority of the
enemy we're facing are Iraqi's...and I'll post half a dozen links in which
one of our top guys says that the most severe attacks are coming from
non-Iraqi terrorists.

Based on your opinion. Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one.

In fact, most of the top guys say that the majority of the organized

Bulls**t
What top guys, the ones in the "Fourth Riech"?

Who are you talking about?
Some "suck ups" that thinks they can advance their career by being the
"organ grinders monkey".

You ask for "reputable links" and offer links to what?
More "organ grinder monkeys" sites with their opinion that supports your
drivel.
This is all opinions, backed by nothing but lies.

Get your head out of the medicine chest.
Wipe the spittle off your keyboard.

Your posts don't deserve serious consideration anymore!!!

Go to hell!!!

I see from the post above that Mr. Oh-so-clever-anonymous-signature has
taken up the "Krause method" of discourse. Yawn.

I will say one thing. Someday the whole truth will be known. However based on
the current evidence our treatment of the prisoners is wrong dead wrong. There
can be no possible reason IMO to treat them that way.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. There are no shades of gray here that I can
see. This action is not anything that I as an American can be proud of. What we
originally went in there to do I support and still do but those responsible for
this need to be brought to justice. I know that Harry will jump in here and
state that it is all Bush's fault. He has the right to state his opinion as do
I but turnabout is fair play. The Democrats are not without their own skeletons
in their closets either.

As stated someday the truth will be known.
