There seems to be a certain synchronicity between the finger pointing demands for Rumsfeld's resignation that have dominated the attention of the socialists in congress and the liberal press recently (as well as their not so thinly veiled disgust for President Bush in his support of his defense secretary) and the gruesome death of an American hostage in Iraq recently.
Both the fascists there in Iraq and the socialists here in America are using the issue of prisoner abuse as justification for participating in despicable behavior. The fascists with their chants of 'Allah Akbar' gleefully cut the head off of their captive; videotaped for the world to see while the socialists in Congress, primping for the cameras, call for the political decapitation of the American government. Both sets of behavior represent the worst of mankind;
one is murder, the other treason and neither is justifiable.
The abuse perpetrated at Abu Graib was committed by rogue elements of the military and 'intellegence' contractors who were insufficiently trained and supervised in the performance of their duties. To blame the entire defense structure for this failing and demand that Sec. Rumsfeld resign (not to mention blaming Pres. Bush) is tantamount to demanding the death of all Islamists in retribution for the savage, barbaric acts of murdering terrorists.
Ted Kennedy has already killed one innocent American in his car. How many more are we going to allow him and his ilk to murder from the halls of Congress. We must support the troops and support the war. Continued attempts to hamstring this administration in its persuit of the war on terrorists will only result in higher US casualties and serves to give our enemies aid, comfort and encouragement. The last thing we need is a nest of terrorist allies in our own Congress. ymmv
