There’s nothing even remotely funny happening in Iraq these days, but
judging from the gruesome images that have begun seeping out of the dungeons of
Baghdad, irony clearly is in abundant supply. Photographs of unimaginable
degradation make one wonder exactly when the heroic liberators of Saddam
Hussein’s desert hellhole decided it might be fun to borrow a page
from the Baathist playbook and hold auditions for “Coalition Fear
Factor” and “America’s Dumbest War
Criminals.”
Forget for a moment the damage done to Uncle Sam’s reputation in the
world community, and the many serious political and legal implications of the
systemic torture of prisoners. Forget, even, that what we’ve seen in
the past few days likely is the tip of a very large iceberg. Forget, too, what
Americans would demand of our leaders if tapes revealed that imprisoned U.S.
soldiers were being similarly abused (indeed, the siege of Fallouja began only
after the bodies of four murdered civilian “contractors”
were desecrated by anti-coalition mobs).

The Iraqis prisoners are being treated better than they should be.

Lets see, take a bunch of reservists, put them in charge of an Iraqi prison,
give them absolutely no lessons in the geneva convention, but absolutely fill
them up with hatred for these insurgent/freedom fighters (pick for yourself).
Jake it's ok, I'm sure you think any woman who would join the armed services is
a dyke, concepts like duty are beyond you.

Yeah if you don't like the way those jawas are treated why don't you go and
give em a big fucking hug...i'm sure they won't treat you like they did the
civilian contractors. How about military people aren't perfect and if you saw
your friends die on a daily basis in a god forsaken hell hole you'd been stuck
in for longer than you were told, maybe you'd do the same thing or worse. Are
you all that naive that you think other countries actually follow the geneva
conventions? I know let's ask Jessica Lynch maybe she could tell us how nicely
she was treated...WAKE THE FUCK UP. Bad thing happen in war. So the next time
a terrorist bombs something and it takes out someone you love don't get pissed,
don't beg for revenge, be perfect just like you want military members to be. If
you don't like the military and what they do for us why don't you get off your
fat internet asses, enlist, and change things? That's right it's much easier to
be an armchair quarterback when your ass isn't on the line isn't it? You pukes
make me sick.

We shouldn't take any Iraqui's prisoner and then we wouldn't be in this
mess.Shoot all insurgents on sight.

Hozebeast, you betray your ignorance with that entire rant. I'm not going to
waste my TIME trying to educate you on every point, BUT
• "civilian contractors" are MERCENARIES ya doughhead— they
deserve EVERYTHING they get
• The USA is an illegal occupier of land siezed in an illegal attack. The
Iraqi fighters are not "insurgents" unless you are trying to justify
an American EMPIRE, ya dickwad!
• Jessica Lynch was NOT mistreated by the Iraqis— she's said that herself.
She was actually treated very well by the howspital staff, who alerted US forces
to her whereabouts and offered to transport her to them. If you get all your
info. off of "Faux News," I guess you wouldn't know that all the rest
of that horseshit is PROPAGANDA aimed at MORONS!!
• Finally, IRAQ NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9/11, so to quote you back to
you, WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!
Pick up a freaking newspaper soimetime ya DOOFUS!!

You have to admit that A LOT of the people who enlist nowadays are those who
fucked up in high-school or were too stupid and dropped out. Give me a decent
cause and i'll fight for it, until then, let the retards serve. I love that shit
about duty. As if we have a duty to invade another country who didn't threaten
us, which they call "occupation" by the way, and bitch when they shoot
at us and then torture them. You say "give them a break", fuck that,
we threatened them and we deserve what we get. If you want to lecture about
duty, what about the duty to not kill people just because our "leader"
tells us to. If you were truly honorable, you wouldn't be there. Honorable
people don't have to torture people to feel better about a loss, only monsters
do that. I love how people think that humanity gets a "time-out"
during war. We weren't defending shit, it was them that were defending
themselves. I'm sure those American troops would have been shot at by Iraqi
troops while sitting around at home, so you're right, it's justifiable. Ass.

Hephaestion,
1. Not all civilian contractors are mercenaries.
2. They (Iraq) refused to offer sufficient evidence that their WMD projects were
dismantled.. The usa took action after years of complaining about it..
3. Lynch WAS treated well by the HOSPITAL staff.. but as for the others that
handled her.. hmm.. there is so much that you are missing because you will never
read the real reports.. all media is slanted.. and no media will ever get the
whole picture..
4. Iraq, like a lot of predominantly Islamic nations, did (and in the case of
other nations still do) turn a "blind eye" to terrorist associated
organizations (and in some cases they funded those groups) because it is
political suicide to go after groups who can claim to be Islamic fundamentalist
organizations with only incidental numbers of members with an extremist nature..
and it can be rather convenient to feign ignorance when these groups conduct
attacks on your enemies.. if you look closely you will see that Hozebeast did
not mention 9/11..
no one nation is innocent of the condition of the world today.. It is all a
really fascinating power struggle.. While many people believe that the posturing
of the European nations is bourne of “higher ideals, morality, and humanity”
it is really just another political posturing.. World politics is all a song and
dance.. Smoke and mirrors.. Feign and attack... enjoy the show..
