U.S. Iraq war casualties reach new milestone

[Magical_Retard]

Nice tin foil hat.  The liberal media, blah blah blah.

The U.S. claims not to torture or murder, then it goes ahead and tortures and murders.  A lot.
That's why it's news.

Tin foil hats don't apply where there is fact.  Perhaps you should take a look over at DU in regards to the controlled implosion of the WTC, or the missle hitting the Pentagon.  Be sure to wear some sunglasses though...the glare from all that foil may blind you.

The US, as a matter of policy, does not "torture" or murder.  I quote torture because some forms of interrogation are still under scrutiny.  Panties on the head is not torture.  Flushing the quran down a toilet is not torture.  A power drill to the knees or head (a common practice in Iraq) is torture.  There have been instances where individuals in the US military have broken laws under the UCMJ and they have been, and are being, prosecuted. 

there is a diff between physical and mental torture. and flushing down the Quran is torture to a Muslim.

Stories about enemy POW's with panties on their head: at least 1,000,000

*estimates


There is no bias in the media.   

missing girl in aruba in the news* infinity

wait till this report is confirmed and then see how long it stays in the news....but the fact of the matter is for the American public stomaching thousands upon thousands Iraqi civilian death is far easier than 2 American SOLDIERS dying so I am sure Bush wouldnt really want this all over anyway.

[ice grillin you]

exactly....if the media was liberally biased then soldiers dying would be all over the news as it hurts the bush admin.

You mean like when Nightline spent 38 minutes reading off the name of every US Soldier killed?

The press only cares about ratings. Talking bad about the "the man" or who's in charge gets ratings and moves product.

Proof that people who buy into party politics are whiney little bitches? Republicans rule the house senate and presidency but still cry about how America is being controlled by some vast liberal conspriracy. I'm not in line with Dio's line of thinking or anything but I call bullshtein...

lol...ok you got me...nightline brainwashed all 14 of its viewers

respectfully reading off the names of the dead...at midnight on a news magazine program is not exactly evidence of a liberal media trying to get at the republican administration

So they don't spend enough time they spend too much time they they they.... Crap crap crappity crap.

Welcome to politics today where both sides rattle off a bunch of useless speaking points handed down by idealogs. YAY!!

...and people too apathetic to take a side get to pretend they are superior because they don't care either way.  YAY!

The US, as a matter of policy, does not "torture" or murder.

The U.S., as a matter of fact, does torture and murder.  Often enough so people like you look really stupid trying to blame it on bad apples.

Dio is spinning his Nazi bullshtein again.  What a farging coksucking loser!

With comments like that, Dio doesn't really have to resort to calling you names or insulting you, does he?

The old adage, "I know you are, but what am I?" has never seemed more appropriate. This is the perfect example of why you (Waco) seem like such a douche in threads like these. Regardless of what you think of Butcher's or Dio's comments, it's simple to see between the three of you (Dio, you, and Butcher's Bill) who is the real corksucking loser.

there are the few who refuse to take a side....and are by no means apathetic just because they dont blow their cybertops on the internet whenever someone tries to bait them into it.

"It is good that war is so terrible, else we should become accustomed to it." - Robert E. Lee

"All warfare is based on deception." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart Mill

"War is...a trinity of violence, chance, and reason." -Carl von Clausewitz
