Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Lynndie England, the public face of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, told a German news magazine that she was sorry for appearing in photographs of detainees in the notorious Iraqi prison, and believes the scenes of torture and humiliation served as a powerful rallying point for anti-American insurgents. In an interview with the weekly magazine Stern, England was both remorseful and unrepentant -- said, "I guess after the picture came out the insurgency picked up and Iraqis attacked the Americans and the British and they attacked in return and they were just killing each other. I felt bad about it ... no, I felt pissed off. If the media hadn't exposed the pictures to that extent, then thousands of lives would have been saved." Asked how she could blame the media for the controversy, she said it wasn't her who leaked the photos.

Yes. Of course. "The Media".

Kill the messenger!

Media fanning the flames of war?

The media is to blame for her being punished for her actions, but it can't be blamed FOR her actions. I don't supposed it has occurred to her that if they hadn't been doing what they were doing, there wouldn't have been photos to begin with.

The media obviously hasn't done nearly enough with Lynndie. Blaming the media for Abu Ghraib, American torture of prisoners and any Iraq deaths reflects a singular misunderstanding of all she's done. If nothing else, she is the naked face of the unrepentant, unregenerate Bush supporter. herm

uh excuse me.
we hear all the time about being IN the military so from here on ONLY military vets are current members may post a comment. I mean its only right IF you are correct.
and it also brings to mind max cleland and other liberal vets. you are trash if you point out any errors in their stance and heaven help you if you didnt serve.
so thats it then...only vets may respond.

okay so one more ....

you have to give your name, rank and serial number. so that means a lot of clinton supporters will be silenced.

Herm,

Surely as both a woman and a soldier, you must conclude that she is just a victim and it's not her fault...

Afterall, she's a woman, so as an official minority in the Dem world, it's automatically not her fault.

Secondly, she is a volunteer soldier, so Dems must question her reliability of judgment...she's been deluded into military service...

Unless, of course, I take you at your word, which is that since she represents the Republican administration, that she is a woman whose RESPONSIBLE for her actions....Hmmmmm.....that would make her not a victim at all, in spite of her official status, but AN INDEPENDENT, RESPONSIBLE PERSON.....

Hmmmm.....What would AlGore say? I don't know...I can't find him...

"...it also brings to mind max cleland and other liberal vets. you are trash if you point out any errors in their stance and heaven help you if you didnt serve. so thats it then...only vets may respond."

This is the rightie/fascist/nazi mind at its finest - in the open, blatant and gross in its exclusivity. Actually, being somewhat embarrassed about my days in uniform, I might counter with a proposal that only those who had the balls to say "hell no, I won't go" may post herm

"... since she represents the Republican administration, that she is a woman whose RESPONSIBLE for her actions....that would make her not a victim at all, in spite of her official status, but AN INDEPENDENT, RESPONSIBLE PERSON....."

Jon, I've missed your dogma. For the sake of the record, she was Only Following Orders. She had cramps the day they lectured about morals and the Geneva convention.

"Hmmmm.....What would AlGore say? I don't know...I can't find him..."

He's obviously off studying socialism, Jon. herm

Lynndie England???

Yech!! She's about as welcome as a recurring butt boil. And about as attractive.

Thought that piece of pond scum was still in jail.

She'll probably get a book deal and a TV movie. And the hoards of morons will snap 'em up.

okay so one more ....

Any one who is actually a vet can tell you theres no such thing as a service members "serial number" anymore. Hasn't been since like the 70s. It's your social now. Like I said, any vet knows that so we can count bl2 out of that category.

Man if that doesn't explain it all.

Too bad Lon Chaney SR. is dead. He's be a shoe-in for the lead role.

She's just pissed her picture got taken off the WalMart wall for being a hometown hero. Stupid bitch and her dickhead boyfirend.

Bushpussydeaux (heavy sigh) you are still the stupidest fuck out there in Retortland. Everyone knows the repulikonzanistas that started and supported this war had other priority deferment, daddy with connections, don't sign on the bottom line boil on their anus reasons for not serving their country... and the only one that did serve did not make it served only 3 years active and only made it to captain in the RESERVES was put in charge... over f/t Generals. Go figure...

No wonder the economy is so fucked up... financing a war under such lousy management by persons with piss poor credentials.

Herm,

As a teacher, my heart has been warmed by the learning I see....however, there's one little detail we haven't made clear yet...

It's

leftist/fascist/nazi...

That's pretty close....here in the public schools,you probably were good enough to pass, but I have very high standards, so I'll stay with it...

leftist/fascist/nazi

"""If the media hadn't exposed the pictures to that extent, then thousands of lives would have been saved.""""

Yeah, ok. The dumb bitch doesn't have a problem with what she did, she has a problem with the fact that folks found out what a shining example of u.s. values she is...and she accuses the media. Fuck, you'd swear she was a relative of boy dunder.

"leftist/fascist/nazi..."

Say it often enough, Jon, and you'll surely believe it. It's a little unrealistic, like "catholic/atheist/buddhist," but then realism has never been the Far Right's strong point. So what is it you want me to believe? herm

You mean the Media FORCED her and her compadres to abuse prisoners? That means they didn't WILLINGLY participate-they were forced-....


Nah! I don't buy it. She's a piece of shit who should STILL be in prison.


maybe mccain would like to weigh in on this

I say it everytime it comes up out in the real world, I'm going to have to say it here too:

Fuck the troops.

"We have always appreciated the support we have been give by England....what's that Joe?.......Oh. OH!"

Herm,

Now you've gone and made an inadequate analogy...

Catholic/buddhist/athiest, although all related in that they define ideas involving god, a uniquely human invention, they are clearly different systems of thought..

leftist/fascist/nazi = although differnt words, describe the same system of thought...socialism

Actually, Jon, it's back to PoliSci 101 for you.
Fascist is to Socialist as You to Sentient Being.

Lynndie E? The biatch is back?

That bitch and a dog leash are made for each other.

She was just on the wrong end that's all.

Blaming the media who exposed her shameful behaviour for the subsequent death of American and British troops?

Yeah, that's logical. In point of fact the torture being done at Abu Ghraib an dGitmo and at undisclosed black sites around the world were initiated by Cheney and his pet Chimp and folks like England and a couple of other low level grunts who, although egreciously guilty of their crimes, were passed off to the compliant MSM as being the "few bad apples" on the night shift rather than scapegoats who were just the tip of an ugly and massive iceberg.

Bush and Cheney and others in the BushCo rogue regime are fucking War Criminals. They mayt have gotten away with it to date but that doesn't change the fact.

Torture is wrong MmmKay? Always.

And before Alan Dershowitz can open his lying piehole on the subject Spud sez STFU you pathetic apologist fer nazi-like crimes!

The fact that 60 minutes knew about Abu Ghraib for months and sat on the story at the behest of the State Department and didn't actually run with it until blogworld started to release some of these pictures shows us a couple things very clearly.

1. Corporate MSM is a conduit for government propaganda that has a list of does and don't that the general public rarely gets to hear about.

2. Blogworld holds these bastards feet to the flames and forces them to do their jobs a little bit better than they used to.

Good fer blogworld sez Spud! Huzzah!!

Quick survey question...

Exactly how many months in a war zone does one need to be before Lynndie England begins to look fuckable? Anyone?

Seriously, as far as Spud is concerned there are no beer goggles strong enuff to turn that butt-ugly biatch into sommat do-able.

Not even Tequila googles would do the trick there!

Be Well.

FF for Chair. The other guys probably used to snap Herm with towels in the shower.

Jon: tell us again what it is you teach. Not a high school student in America believes that. herm

There are still a bunch of us with service numbers so watch what you say big boy.

The media did it? I thought Abu Ghraib was caused by Clinton's BJ?

but for me it's a toss up between Miss England and the sultry Kat Harris. Grrr

Kitty Asshair?

Better than Lynndie certainly.

Actually, after her latest boob job a titty fuck might be worth time it took, there. Apparently, she was exchanging them fer votes at her last election FAILure. Wasn't working fast enuff to make a difference but at least she made the effort. Didn't have to buy skin lotion for a minth afterwords

Be Well.

/Loathes Kitty Asshair.
//Can ya kinda tell?

"England said she is living with her parents in Fort Ashby, W.Va., along with her son . . ."

I guess the old addage is true, you can take the girl out of the trailer, but you'll never take the trailer out of the girl.

She was blaming those higher up her chain-of-command when it first happened, but now it's the medias fault?

Riiiiight.

She follows the liberal mantra of "not my responsibility".

It's the media --

Just like for Spitzer--it's the fault of the media.

Just like Obama and Wright--it's the media's fault.

Just another typical retort from a liberal.


Murphy

Lynndie england is a liberal?

Or is murphy stretching?

"She (Lynndie) follows the liberal mantra of 'not my responsibility'."

Actually, Murph, you're not that far off. No one ever bothered to tell Lynndie about morality, the Nurenberg trials or the Geneva convention. When Abu Ghraib was discovered, Lynndie got pissed upon, her non-coms reprimanded and her officers decorated. This is one of the minor things I have against the military. herm
