Boy, what a bunch of wimps, who demand that the U.S. restrain its behavior to conform to some inane idea to which they subscribe that delineates what the world "should be" like. That this does not coincide with the reality is a matter of great irritation for them.
Yes. the U.S. invaded Iraq. Yes, we have troops there now. Yes, troops engaged in combat, kill - if they are successful, that is.
We have placed too many restraints on our forces. We expose them to harm by engaging in house to house combat rather than razing areas with airpower and artillery. If we put men into battle, situations in which they are "at risk," it is our obligation to adopt tactics that reduce our casualties to a minimum. Our powers that be have not "kept the faith" in this regard.
Some of you leftist goons would summarily condemn all of our troops as deserving harm because of their presence in Iraq, and would contrive any circumstance to harm them.
If it were necessary to sacrifice someone to appease the Iraqis, appropriate people to sacrifice, ones to die for our purported sins, would be those who feel guilt. these two would be Congressman Murtha and the reporter who initiated this investigation by erroneously reporting the circumstances in collusion with a purportedly pro-insurgent employee of the same news organization.
The "hate America" crowd can "eat shit and die." Americans have no reason to credit creeps who attempt to constrain our conduct of operations so that Americans are more likely to suffer harm.
The shame and tragedy of this is that the farcical condemnation of our people, occurred at all. They should be compensated for the harm done them by a government run amok attempting to propitiate lefty America haters, who would cherish their goal to create a weaker and more vulnerable America.
