Poor Iraqi's

[Campground Cattle]

I am not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...
however, I think it is vitally important that, in my head,
I have these matters in proper perspective...

* Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death,
in human meat grinders, on a daily basis...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

*Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings,
while their relatives were forced to watch...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped off
and even beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam's sons, as well as other administrators and military
personnel, raped and sodomized Iraqi girls - some as young
as 8 years old - on a daily basis...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam's regime indiscriminately put to death millions
of Iraqi citizens, on a daily basis, during the term of his
brutal dictatorship, as evidenced by the mass graves
recently uncovered, in various parts of Iraq...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Terrorists recently exploded several car bombs in Baghdad, killing
17 innocent Iraqi children and several dozen innocent
Iraqi citizens...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Terrorists have been killing American/Coalition soldiers,
on a daily basis, since we sent our troops (many of whom
gave their lives on Iraqi soil) and used US taxpayer dollars
to liberate the Iraqi people...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Four Americans were killed in Fallujah. Their bodies were burned,
mutilated, dragged through the streets and hung
on a bridge, while Iraqi people cheered and stoned them...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

AND NOW...
A few Iraqi prisoners have been humiliated (poor babies)...
A pair of women's underwear was put on their heads...
A few naked photographs were taken...
AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE GO BALLISTIC...
ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE ARAB COMMUNITY...

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

As said, I don't condone what happened to the prisoners,
but, until the Iraqi people and the Arab Community,
as a whole, get their act together... WE ARE AT WAR!

AND I DON'T WANT MY PRESIDENT TO APOLOGIZE
TO THE ARABS FOR ANYTHING!

Great post, Campground! Agree completely.

Great post, Campground. I think Texan said it all for myself and many others.
But the sad thing is that the U.S. LIBERAL News Media, CBS, NBC, ABC, and Jane Fondas ex husband, Ted Turners CNN are the ones causing most of the uproar.

Excellent post. One thing anti-war crowd hates is perspective.

i'll go one step further. every arab in the united states that is not an american citizen should be picked up, deported, and never allowed back on U.S. soil. it may be a little easier to spot potential terrorist then

It is sad what happens when our soldiers are totally immersed in a damaged society such as the one in iraq for so long. Human nature is all about adaptation and defense, the line between right and wrong first fades and then dissappears all together. The soldiers involved in the indescretions made mistakes but lets not let their positive efforts be forgotten as well. More importantly lets not let the mistake of a few tarnish the badge of heros for thousands of others.

I am grateful for all the men and women who have taken up arms for democracy.
