* 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 PE OPLE 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 FOR ANYTHING! |
