Furry you are a liar and a fool. You show only that you are a brainwashed moron without the slightest idea what you are talking about. Nothing about Abu Ghraib was fabricated. Nothing our military was doing in Iraq had ANYTHING to do with making us safer in any way much less saving our butts and you are a delusional fool

furs,

You also have the false belief that Abu Grahib was an isolated incident. This torture and degrading treatment happened in every prison in Iraq and Afghanistan. Worse happened in the secret prisons in the rest of the world.

“left media”???
The Pentagon said 90% of the thousands rounded up in sweeps and put in these prisons were innocent and later released.
The Pentagon said there about 110 deaths! Is our Pentagon part of the “left media” in your opinion?

furs,

Our butts were not in danger from the Iraqis. You are a fool if you think they were. In fact, Saddam was a very good buffer against the fundamental, radical Islamists. That is why Daddy Bush left him in power in 1991 when it would have been so easy to remove hijm. that is why foreign policy experts from that administration were opposed to this war.

Our CIA put Saddam in power.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
Iraq had no WMD.
Iraq had no ties to terrorists. That’s more than can be said for Reagan, Bush, North, Casey, and Bush.

Hardly “over fabricated”, skinned animal pelt… those disgusting Abu Ghraib photos will be Botch’s, and the GOOP’s, lasting legacy for decades to come.

Bolton 100 years from now will be remembered as the most worthless recess-appointed U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in American history.

Give me a break!! How can anyone be focused with any sense be pre occupied with worrying about gitmo and abu ghraib. Our troops were saving our buts 99.9% while we were having lunches in Hollywood and NYC. These two incidents were way over fabricated by left media.

Use the RICO law, to arrest Bolton, with all the other Criminal RepubliCons. If the Bush Crime Family is not put behind bars, it will set a precedent; which will destroy America, if the Criminal Bush and his accomplices have not already destroyed America.

Eighty-eight years later, the Iraqis are still mad at the British for occupying their country after the end of WWI. I believe it had something to do with the OIL they happened to be sitting on.

from the Wiki:

“The 1920 Revolution Brigades describes its aim as to establish a liberated and independent Iraqi state on an Islamic basis. It has been active in the area west of Baghdad, in the regions of Abu Ghraib, Khan Dari and Fallujah and in the governorates of Ninwi, Diyali and al-Anbar.[6] The name of the group (Literally “Brigades of the Revolution of the Twenty”) refers to the 1920 revolution against British colonial rule in Iraq, drawing an implicit parallel between the nationalist resistance against that occupation with the guerrillas fighting coalition forces today. They are the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Iraq).”

How can Bolt-On tell? Did he get one of those memory -eraser thingies from “Men in Black”?

Unfortunately, he may be right.

What percentage of high schoolers today can tell you anything about Nurenberg

(either the post WW II trials or I’d even settle for hearing about Die Meistersinger).

Bolton’s half right. “In 100 years people aren’t going to remember Guantánamo or Abu Ghraib, they’re going to remember 9/11 and Bush’s reaction to it.” This is true. However, Bush’s reaction to 9/11…WAS Guantanamo and Abu Gharib. Amongst other equally horrific decisions. Bolton’s argument is tantamount to “in 100 years, people won’t remember Saturday Night Live, they’re going to remember that there was a variety program that was on television, and it was live, and it aired on Saturday Nights.” To-may-to to-mah-to, Bolton, you asshat.

“they’re going to remember 9/11 and Bush’s reaction to it.”

Clearing missing from this story is a photo below it of Bush sitting paralyzed in a Florida classroom.

Bolton wont be here to see it from hell. The Bush Policy stands as an example of what can be done without any Country stopping it. Americans might want to forget Gitmo but when some terrorist in the future kidnappes, tortures, rapes, murders and keep Americans without charges it wll be refered to as the Bush Policy. The World will cry of the horror but the names Bush/Cheney will ring loud as the two who developed and used the Policy.

“In 100 years people aren’t going to remember Guantánamo or Abu Ghraib, they’re going to remember 9/11 and Bush’s reaction to it.”

Because a) Bolton is admitting that Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib were wrong and b) “My Pet Goat” becomes the all time best selling kid’s book ever.
