How could I not believe the Great White Liberators!

Silly question.

If I was an Iraqi I would go back to my bullet/bomb riddled hovel and do the world a favour by blowing myself and my family up.

I am taking you with me.

who wouldn't? the pathetic lies, the distant reaches for attention regardless of their nature...and the hairdo..my goodness, who can resist a flock-of-seagulls hairdo?

don't kid yourself...my mom has much better taste. you forget, i've seen your picture.

Lol Tare, I got it.

Gross, but funny.

It doesn't matter if you buy thier apologies. They're being held accountable for the actions of thier soldiers. The may be (and probably are) lying through thier teeth when they apologize but thats more then you'd get from the Iraqi's if the tables were turned.

Everyone knows that someone's head is going to role for this and that's where people will get thier gratification. They apologies are just the first step.

I know! Sorry, I almost feel bad about that one. Almost. No wait. I don't. Yay!

Ok. What would satisfy you? They're investigating the incidents. They're collecting data. They've already removed a dozen or so personnel from duty and are pending court marshalls for them.

It's been what? A week since this story came out? Exactly how much head rolling do you expect?

Eh? Stories about Trucks loaded with WMD shipped from Iraq to Syria came out in January too. I haven't heard anything new on that either.

Just because a hint of something appears, and some organization is looking into it, does not mean that it's true (or untrue!), and it doesn't mean that they're done investigating.

It's been a year.

"Now, with respect to when were we knowledgeable of this, the situation was this: Specialist Darby told the CID that he had information about abuses in the prison. I believe it was on the 13th or 14th of January. By the 15th or 16th, an investigation had been initiated. And the Central Command public affairs people went out and told the world; they told everyone in the world that there were allegations of abuse and they were being investigated." — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in testimony Friday before the Senate Armed Forces Committee.



The release:


"Release Number: 04-01-43

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"DETAINEE TREATMENT INVESTIGATION BAGHDAD, Iraq An investigation has been initiated into reported incidents of detainee abuse at a Coalition Forces detention facility. The release of specific information concerning the incidents could hinder the investigation, which is in its early stages. The investigation will be conducted in a thorough and professional manner. The Coalition is committed to treating all persons under its control with dignity, respect and humanity. Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the Commanding General, has reiterated this requirement to all members of CJTF-7." News release, U.S. Central Command, Jan. 16, 2004.


Nobody cared about it untill the pictures hit the press. An investigation is one thing, prima facie evidence is something else. One would presume (but know for certain) that someone involved in the ivestigation knew about and leaked the pictures.

At the very least the Brig in charge of the prison has to be Dishonorably Discharged.

At the very least.

Well Gbaji, I dont really like any polititions, whether they are liberal or conservative. My point was that if anybody made an apology like this it wouldnt be believable. I kind of see it like two young kids that dont like each other. They get in a fight and get sent to the principals office at which point the children have to apologize, knowing full well that they are not sorry for kicking the snot out of each other. Take responsibility for your actions. Hell yeah we hate those armies that oppose us and they should be happy that they didnt die and instead got a pair of American panties on their heads.

If I were an Iraqi, I'd be glad my ********* weren't being electrocuted.
