mcchimpy never fought in a war either; this is why he’s quick with tossing bombs.

Always remember, they hate us for our freedoms (Tm).

Funny you should mention this. When the war first begun, I read Russia invaded Georgia because Russia said Georgia was getting too westernize.

I was WTF?

“after some guards had been spat at and had human waste thrown at them by detainees.”

Pshaw… happens to me every time I get near a gang of GOOPers…

Sincerely, Thank you.

Ralph? Arn? Anyone?

Well moron I know about rape and torture so what does it say about Chistianity that the BTK killer was a leader in his Christian church? To those of us with an acutal functioning cerebral cortex the asnwer to both those questions are NOTHING. I am begging you to rent a brain cell. I know it will die of lonliness but at least you will know what it was like to have had one

So say you got arrested for protesting — and got dumped in one of these holding areas and you had to take a dump… I don’t know about you but if I can’t find a toilet soon, I feel more than sick.

Say you were held there for 12, or 24 or even more hours, what would you do when you needed to eliminate?

Our country is so fubared that even Obama isn’t going to be able to fix it.

Tripledickey is another complete moron with no conception of actual ethical values. Stupdity and brainwashing the only values he ever shows. Another un-American piece of garbage that anyone who wants our country to emulate the values we associate WITH our country makes stupid cowardly morons like him spend even more time cowering under his mommys bed.

tp apologists rush to the defense of those who throw crap at our troops. No surprise. How typical of your anti-American movement

We’re not defending “those who throw crap at our troops,” we’re fighting intolerant bigoted Islamophobes who throw intolerant crap at 1/6th of the planet.

Chris L Says:
Prisoners in the US do the same thing

And the fastest growing religion in our US prisons is the “Religion of Peace” so it would follow.

Congratulations Tanqued, this is the single stupidest comment I’ve seen all day. Let me get my pepper spray.

Something really stupid I mean what were the chances. Showing again that conservative morons really are the stupidest bipedal carbon based lifeforms on the planet. Good luck with that lobotomy Tripledick. It sure couldnt do you any harm

This would be a better argument had we closed them down instead of simply putting them under new management

I know about llamas spitting and monkeys flinging their poo, so what does this say about the adherents to the Religion of Peace?
#######

Religion has nothing to do with it. Prisoners in the US do the same thing. Why do you hate Muslims?

Also, one point that seems to have been lost at Abu Ghraib – the people involved in the prisons in Iraq are often reservists who, in civilian life, are prison guards in the USA.

My point is that 1) they supposedly know how to deal with stressful situations that may arise in detention facilities and 2) what abuses happen in the USA prisons from these same folk ?

“Always remember, they hate us for our freedoms (Tm).”

Try:

“they hate us for our freedoms ™.”

It will come out like this:

“they hate us for our freedoms ™.”

HTH.

Cheers,

As opposed to the extreme right, who sends them into battle at the drop of a hat, doesn’t give them a clear objective for “victory,” doesn’t equip them with body armor or adequate vehicles, extends their tours, stop-losses them when they try to retire, cuts back on their health benefits when they return, puts them in decrepit facilities like Walter Reed when they’re injured, denys them pay raises, and opposes paying adequately for their education when they finally return home.

demonstrating once again the similarities between the american extreme left and the enemy; both love to spit and crap on our troops.

Speaking from personal experience, most of the hatred of troops I’ve seen has been coming from the right.

I always have trouble explaining this to my children. They find out about some other kid that gets to do whatever, and suddenly they think it is OK for them as well. Just because someone else makes the wrong choice does not excuse you for making the same wrong choice. I always see people excusing the actions of Bush, because “Clinton did it too.” Isn’t that why Bush was elected, because he promised to not be just like Clinton?

Justification of nation’s moral decline via comparison of another’s is not a worthy argument by nations.

As I read Chris’ post, I was actually empathizing with him because I have the same feelings about my service in Vietnam. What happens is that you get hardened to your surroundings and you no longer view your adversary as human. It is a dark side of war and it gets ingrained as a means of personal survival.

This is one reason why you hear some say that those who take a country to war have usually not personally fought in one. That is clearly the problem we have with Deserter GDumbya and 5-deferment Darth Cheney.

While these guards must bear the consequences of their actions, the larger issue and the greater responsibility rests with those who needlessly put them in this situation.
