Oh..innocence matters now? When did that start?

Like i said before, much of what we've been engaging in since 2001 was based on acrimony between tribes, neighbors, sects, heresay, and claims made with little evidence as to whether they were true or not.

So your conscience is bothering you NOW? Mine has been bothering me since our actions in the aftermath of 9/11...where were you then?

I personally believe that it happened more than a "few times" in Iraq. I'll go so far as to say that i think it was fairly routine.

Because you might think,after TEN years,the US gov. might have figured things out...or more likely simply doesn't care too much.

am i the only one wondering why this story was even leaked to the press?

it seems rather odd when we actually still have soldiers fighting all over the place-sent by the dumbasses in charge, who seem to be doing their best to NOT protect them.

i guess if we send soldiers to enough countries, spread enough rumors, kill enough leaders, post enough gloating you tube videos from our secretary of state, kill enough citizens accidentally or otherwise,(including our own) that we will get somebody somewhere to start something.

then it's on, baby.
