I had heard Rush and Hannity and the rest of the so called right wing wackos and their bullshit spinning on this issue. Then I figured John and Ken would be the only honorable right wing show to stand up and take responsibility. And I was right. They did.
They focused on the media spin from the other talk show hosts and the military and administration. They've put this girl Pfc England up for slaughter when she was at the bottom of the totem pole on this. Like some of you said above in this thread the chain of command is where we oughtta start.
Right now the administration is crucifying the small guys. The guy that took the pictures and the girl seen in the pictures. As if to say it was an isolated incident amongst wreckless soldiers.
Farthest from the truth so far. More pics and videos coming out as well as testimony. The longer they wait the more suspicious this shit will get.
I don't blame Bush for this shit. At worse either his orders weren't carried out or ignored or he didn't foresee this shit. Yet either way he's gotta address it to the satisfaction of all parties involved instead of that ' I'm the President and what I say goes' shit.
These types of incidents make Bin Laden look good in the world's eyes. Here we're talkin' about a guy who took down the Soviets with brilliant tactics and often used mules and horses to fight.
Now he's fucked up our economy, caused hatred within the republic itself and then this shit with abusing prisoners happens and he can now say ' See? I told you they were full of shit. They weren't interested in liberating Iraq, they were just after your oil.'.
It would be a sad state of affairs if Bin Laden went down in history as the only man to take down 2 super powers.

To say it's about oil is not all together dumb. The US needs to have cheap oil. Our economy, way of life and position as a world power goes to hell as the price goes up. Making sure the US has amble supply is part of the administrations job. That?s if you like it or not. So if the whole reason for Iraq was oil, I?m not so sure that wouldn?t of played as a good reason.
