Now please let me preface the following with the fact that I unequivocally regard the actions taken to interrogate the few Iraqi prisoners of war as unacceptable and deplorable. Punishment for those involved, and those responsible should most assuredly follow. Now with that said, do not take out of context any of the following opinions of the aforementioned matter.
I find it most disturbing that we have but a few american soldiers going way over the top of interrogative rules and guidelines (rules set forth predominately by our own moral code of standards) and once again there are those who espouse their pompous contempt over our air, cable and satellite pulses of america. as I listen to the sickening puke spewing forth from some of the elitists in the arab world, parts of Europe, the 'peaceful' religion of Muslim — oh, and lest I forget the United States’ own america-hating, far left wackos — I have to ask myself, is what I’m hearing real? are these bumble-headed fools really this audacious?
Why are these men being held captive to begin with? are they not prisoners of war? Or is it 'Miller' time? are they supposed to be enjoying themselves on a cruise ship, paid for by american tax dollars? Shuffle board and donut time guys? Have the elitist, fat, arrogant, pompous, haters of america really forgotten what this is all about?
How dare any of them sit there, high and mighty, saying we are supposed to be for democracy and we are 'acting out like Saddam!' Last I checked the perpetrators were but a few soldiers who will be brought to justice; the rest of our american men and women soldiers are fighting so Iraqis will have rights, so they can be a free people. The arrogance of some, it is unconscionable.
as we hold up the distasteful pictures of the naked Iraqi prisoners of war, let’s hold up a picture of the gentlemen in the wheel chair who was assassinated and thrown over board on a ship called the achille Lauro. as the next slide goes up, let us show a picture of several bloodied dead body parts strung across the pavement with crumbled cement from an embassy that is no longer standing. Next photo please. How about the innocent human beings that were blown out of the air over Lockerbie Scotland? Gee, weren't they just on holiday? Next…remember the Iranian Hostage Crisis November 1979?
Side by side, the USS Cole, the army barracks, little children having bombs strapped to their backs and being sent in supposedly for the greater good of allah. What about the human beings jumping from the Twin Towers inferno and the fine pink spray flying up in the air, as a child asked his mommy, 'Why are there white birds flying from that building?'
Better yet, why not let the videotape play of the american's beheading? Lets show Mr. Pearlman’s and Mr. Berg’s beheading by inhuman monsters next to the humiliation suffered by a pair of underwear on top of a naked man's head. We are just like these religious zealots, these demons, aren't we?
america has a different code of standards. You're darn right we do. Our women can drive, vote, and appear in public uncovered. all americans have the right to get out of their beds today and decide if they want to go to work, quit their jobs or start up a new business. It should be pointed out that american's, as a whole, did not go out and shoot their guns up in the air in celebration of these nudie pictures?
Heck, we even have the right, protected right, to speak our minds under our First amendment! amazing isn't it? Those americans who hate our way of morality, and love to play political 'pawnery', will vociferously exercise their right to scream their disdain for all that we stand for. What is their motive? You've got to ask yourself that…prior to punching the chad, or filling in the line.
Sure some of america's guidelines and laws have been obscured and corrupted. We have former presidents who've lied under oath; there are several children every year that have their rights to pursue happiness taken from them through murder by a selfish mom. We have single parents, due to lazy no good fathers. We have a 'criminal' justice system instead of a 'victims' justice system. The list goes on, and there are things that need work, but our treatment, overall, of mankind and our abhorrence to committing atrocities far out reaches anything ever seen in history.
So for those of you who just love bashing america and all we stand for I offer this: Shut up you bunch of lame hypocrites. Don’t be pointing your finger of self-righteousness at those of us who are trying to lead the life of american morality, the majority incidentally. The next time you want to open your yapper and say something derogatory about what we all sacrifice on a daily basis here at home and abroad, first just take a good long look in your own mirror of motes and beams. We're taking care of our splinters, no thanks to all of you hypocritical antagonists. We are all on the road to toward what is true and pure, and we are working towards freedom for all that desire her blessings!
again, I reiterate, for those of you now hot under the collar and not remembering my opening statement; I do not condone the interrogative tactics utilized by a few. We are different, lest we forget…
