Not that big a deal? Really?
I certainly hope it never happens to your family member.

Thanks for comparing the US to the least common denominator.
Thanks for your apparent approval of this action.

See response above.

Other people do it, so it's okay for the US to do so.
Then don't complain when there are repercussions against innocent troops.

Yes! Let's!

Let's go back to hearing of how we'd get those responsible for 9/11 and how Iraq oil revenues would pay for the war.

About the only thing I've said in Obama's defense is I believe he was a better choice than McCain, still do, otherwise I've clearly stated I believed he was just another political hack.

The pics,while distasteful,aren't the issue to me.

It is the wanton killing of civilians,if that is found to be true it is reprehensible.

Yeah, but the pics depict, like, a trophy killing.

Wonder if Haliburton is providing taxidermy services.

Wonder what's hanging on Cheney's trophy wall.

Finally, someone with some common sense on this whole issue.

For the people who are saying its wrong, its easy for you to say that, sitting at home, warm, comfortable, SAFE, in your EZ Chair, having a few martini's. You've not faced the horror's these men/women are going through and no, like it or not, YOU CANNOT understand it.

And yes, these types of actions have gone on from time memorial. Right, wrong, or indifferent. The men and women who have done this, will have to live with it, for the rest of their lives. Believe me, they'll beat themselves up worse then anyone on this board, or anywhere else.

IF they killed, no murdered, civilian's, that should be the focus of the investigation. A few stupid photo's are meaningless.

Obama has paid Haliburton over $500 billion to continue services. Those trophies are his now.
