		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
No I dont - our country could be trillions of dollars richer in Oil money If not for the conduct of our troops on the battlefield if we had respected and helped the Iraqis then left a sovereign country almost intact

Thats why I hate our troops they lost the war, they were nothing but cold blooded morons that have cost us everything

Comment by Baboo â€” May 6, 2007 @ 2:34 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;Ah, Baboon, this is the line offered by all neo-cons covering their butts. &quot;It&#039;s not the war, it&#039;s the management.&quot; Well, it&#039;s a crock. There was no reason to attack Iraq except oil and no way to get &quot;trillions of dollars richer&quot; than to occupy Iraq for decades.

And you, Baboon, are a cretin if you think it was the troops that lost the war. That&#039;s what gives you away as a Rumsfeld bootlick. The troops knew they were below proper numbers, without proper armor, and without proper support and training. They&#039;ve done their best under the circumstances. But they have no clear mission, no clear objective. 

Except that jackasses like Baboon want them to take the fall for their poor judgement.</description>

Your comment reminds me of the old joke about the stewardess
agreeing to sex for$1,000,000.

We&#039;ve established what you are.... now we&#039;re haggeling over prices.</description>

		<description>Not sure why you&#039;re unloading on Baboo. Yeah, he/she is somewhat overstating the case against the soldiers. On the other hand, the whole &quot;our soldiers are our heroes&quot; is a load of crap. 
The way I see it, any person out there who is eager to sign up with an organization whose primary mission is to kill people is automatically suspect in my book. Furthermore, anyone who signed up after the war started has no right to hide behind the &quot;I&#039;m just following orders&quot; excuse. The information that this was was illegal, immoral, and completely unnecessary was out there for anyone to learn for themselves. That&#039;s where Watada went wrong. He&#039;s in a mess now because he didn&#039;t do his due diligence then. 
I don&#039;t see the soldiers as a homogenous group of evil people. I do think that within the ranks are a bunch of immature people who are ill-equipped to deal with the complex moralities of a war zone. From incidents ranging from stealing the good liquor from the liquor cabinets of the homes they &quot;search&quot; to the outright rapes and murders, there are a whole lot of things being done by &quot;our heroes&quot; that are earning us more enemies every day. Yeah, Bush and his cronies set this whole debacle in motion; but there are enough stories of individual servicepeople committing illegal/immoral acts (and, yes, I think it&#039;s beyond just a tiny number of &quot;bad apples&quot;) that prevents me from ever uttering an unqualified &quot;I support our troops.&quot;</description>

		<description>The New York Times, in a report on January 12, 2005,[8] reported testimony suggesting that the following events had taken place at Abu Ghraib:

Urinating on detainees 
Jumping on detainee&#039;s leg (a limb already wounded by gunfire) with such force that it could not thereafter heal properly 
Continuing by pounding detainee&#039;s wounded leg with collapsible metal baton 
Pouring phosphoric acid on detainees 
Sodomization of detainees with a baton 
Tying ropes to the detainees&#039; legs or penises and dragging them across the floor. 

Sergeant Samuel Provance from Alpha Company 302nd Military Intelligence battalion, in interviews with several news agencies, reported the sexual abuse of a 16-year-old girl by two interrogators, as well as a 16-year-old son of an Iraqi general, who was driven through the cold night air on the open back of a truck after he had been showered and besmeared with mud in order to get his father to talk.[9] He also pointed out several techniques used by interrogators that have been identified as being in violation of the Geneva Convention. He spoke to the media, even against direct orders, about what he knew about at the prison (largely from conversations and interactions with the interrogators). He explained that he did so because there was &quot;definitely a cover-up&quot; underway by the Army. He was administratively flagged and had his top secret clearance suspended in retaliation by the Army. A detailed statement by Sergeant Provance concerning these and numerous other abuses at Abu Ghraib and his treatment by the army is available.[10]


you cannot blame George Bush he was not even there - its easy to blame the neocons - But lets face it they were not present 

These soldiers of ours are the lowest form of human life and deserve everything they get</description>

The next day the medics came in and put his body on a stretcher, placed a fake I.V. in his arm [to suggest he died under medical care] and took him away. This OGA (other governmental agency) [prisoner] was never processed and therefore never had a number.

Quotes from a prisoner

They said we will make you wish to die and it will not happen They stripped me naked. One of them told me he would rape me. He drew a picture of a woman to my back and makes me stand in shameful position holding my buttocks.

Ameen Saeed Al-Sheik, detainee No. 151362,

&#039;Do you pray to Allah?&#039; one asked. I said yes. They said, &#039;[Expletive] you. And [expletive] him.&#039; One of them said, &#039;You are not getting out of here health[y], you are getting out of here handicapped. And he said to me, &#039;Are you married?&#039; I said, &#039;Yes.&#039; They said, &#039;If your wife saw you like this, she will be disappointed.&#039; One of them said, &#039;But if I saw her now she would not be disappointed now because I would rape her.&#039;&quot; [...] &quot;They ordered me to thank Jesus that I&#039;m alive.&quot; [...] &quot;I said to him, &#039;I believe in Allah.&#039; So he said, &#039;But I believe in torture and I will torture you.&#039;

		<description>Americans should,  I would hope, try to look at the occupation through the eyes of the Iraqi people. If an American saw a foreign soldier walking down an American city in battle fatigues and, most of all, carrying an assault rifle in his hands, do you think that an American should then feel love and admiration and respect for that foreign soldier? That is exactly what is happening in Iraq and why the United States will never &quot;win&quot; in Iraq just as it never was able to defeat the Vietnamese people when the U.S. illegally invaded and bombed Vietnam and committed atrocities against the Vietnamese people.

The soldiers who are fighting in Iraq are not heroes. The true heroes are people like Lt. Watada and members of the IVAW [Iraq Veterans Against the War] and those in the book Mission Rejected, whose subtitle defines who they are: U.S. Soldiers who say NO to Iraq. The best way to support the troops is to bring them home-now.</description>

		<description>david,

I agree with your assessment of Baboon, he will no doubtedly turn right around and post on Red State under a different name to show how wacky the progressives are.

There are really only about three trolls who post here constantly, but they name-shift often.  I think Baboon is the nom du jour of the Patrick1/ Firehead/michael troll.

TP - please ban Baboo, in all of his multiple personalities.</description>

		<description>Oh, puh-leeeze, Baboon has troll written all over him. His list of atrocities is so over the top. I recognize a few well known cases, but then he tosses in bogus stuff. 

The purpose of people like Baboon is to malign and slander everyone so as to discredit the liberal/progressive movement. They are, in fact, agent provocateurs.</description>

		<description>Baboo,

The ones that have blood on their hands, and hopefully (but doubtfully) their conscience are the Bush administration and all their supporters.  I would hope that they have recurring nightmares of drowning in blood of soldiers and Iraqis.  

Your hatred towards the soldiers is misdirected, look up Jake, Patrick1, Firehead, Venerealvenus.... whatever name the sycophantic whores are posting under today, and take out your rage on their asses.

I agree with david, Bush and his supporters are the real enemies of our country.  Our weapons are the truth and our vote.  If they continue to obfuscate the truth, and if they steal our votes again, then we would have to load the magazines and go after them, but it won&#039;t come to that.

If it does, I have dubs on Jake.</description>
