I haven't commented on this because it's mostly been said by people smarter than me, from John McCain and George Will to ALterman, Marshall and even Lindsey Graham. But, today's comments by Senator Inofe were very troubling. No one has said that this is a poor reflection on the hundreds of thousands of US troops doing their thing. But, he's outraged at the outrage...as if that our enemies our brutal it gives us a pass on brutality. Apparently the Senator's sense of irony is lost. Remember? we went their to free Iraqi's from torture (well, that was the reason after the WMD arguement had been abandoned).
It's like saying anti-semitism is ok, because Hitler killed 6 million Jews and denying Jews their rights, isn't as bad as that.
What the hell kind of freak logic is that?
He accussed Senator Kerry of turning the issue into a poltical one, while he grandstands. This whole war is political, it's Bush's political war. His disaster. He's put thousands of damn fine Americans in harms way, and someday when the WH stops lying we might know their true motivation for lying to us. We may learn the true motivation for this war. But, what we know now is that Iraq was no danger to us, it had no links to terrorism against America and that this WH had NO PLAN to rescue the country once we invaded.
Shameful
