He is right about their punishment. It is not a capital offense. But he is astonishingly wrong about the media indignation. Media and public indignation after Mogadishu was HUGE. It was with the Blackwater incident in Fallujah, too. This incident pales in comparison. It doesn't rise nearly to the level of the Abu Ghraib indignation. That kind of inflammatory crap is what a few of our enemies do and it makes them look very bad in international eyes. The islamists can't beat us in battle so they try to provoke us to do things that hurt our international support and cause indignation at home. We don't need to be coddling our own troops who break the regulations like this and give the enemy a major political victory.
Thanks to places like CNN that make a mountain out of a mole hill then go out of their way to fan the flames in the name of ratings because they know their audience will lap it up. All the meanwhile damaging America in the process.
Bullchit. All the worlds media and the internet have spread the video. CNN just reports the news like the rest of them, they didn't piss on anybody. FOX reported it too, you know. Do you want American media to be like this guy? Baghdad Bob . . . Comical Ali . . . the Minister of Disinformation?
There is a difference between reporting something and harping on something over and over making it more of a story than it actually is. That's what they're doing with this story and every story that involves a black eye on America. CNN knows their international audience loves anything that is anti-America.
It's not me I'm worried about. It's the millions of morons who are spoon fed their agenda then head on down to the voting booth to flip a lever thinking they have the brains to make important decisions.
I knew a girl from Kinder that liked being pissed on. Oh, she wasn't dead either. She didn't let my friend film her either, Cajunlost.
