"I think the treatment of prisoners at the iraqi jail was stupid and obviously not right."

If it turns out your president authorized the actions in the photo, will you still support him? Would you consider that a decision that has imperiled the lives of soldiers on the ground? How about us citizens across the world? If you answer any way other than yes, you are deluding yourself...

You keep bringing up how the enemy treats our men and women when captured as if that somehow justifies the policies that created the atmosphere in which these abuses were carried out. This isn't about the enemy, gpa. Its about who we are as a nation.

You didn't even read the story did you grandpa? If its true, and I believe it is, Rummie authorized 'the stupid and not right' treatment'. He's the one who disgraces the sacrifices made by our own POW's to keep the world free from this kind of mistreatment. He's the one who disgraces the dead us veterans that sacrificed their lives so in the name of these cherished american values.

Turning his back on those very same values upon which he so proudly stands will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the stupidest decisions ever made by any functionary in government.

The reaction from the soldiers in Iraq was nearly universal to a man. Disgust......and the realization that attacks against them will likely increase. Who gets the blame for creating the situation?

The media?

The whistleblower?

AuntyM?

Face it, you voted for a poor leader that has lied to you, misrepresented the truth, avoided telling you how much money will spend on this war and created policies that endanger the lives of our soldiers.

Syurely, even the staunchest of republicans can see that there is merit to what I am saying.

Except gpa. He'd rather wrap himself up in the flag and clutch his Bible while going down with the ship. Perhaps its better that way.....
