Scott McClellans quote about the beheading. Makes me sick!

....said White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, traveling with President Bush (news - web sites) in Arkansas. "It shows the true nature of the enemies of freedom. They have no regard for the lives of innocent men, women and children. We will pursue those who are responsible and bring them to justice."

Scott, your office is right down the hall from them, the pursuit should be easy!

Consider where people get their image of American culture from: TV and movies. That's the face of America around the world for most people.

Now, we all know how fundamentalists like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell feel about our "liberal" media.

Next, consider how a Muslim fundy might feel. He's going to think America is decadent, immoral, a-religious, and corrupt. The difference is that, instead of wanting to save you from hell like the Robertsons and Falwells, he wants to send you there without delay.

In fact, most Muslim countries restrict their own media (and Internet access!) to keep out the "unclean" ideas and images of the more open West.

So in a way, they do hate the fact that we are free to be "immoral".

Don't get me wrong. I don't think George Bush realizes this and I don't think he's fighting for freedom. I think he just used the word "freedom" as a propaganda tool.

It's funny how he said something true, but only by accident.

The Abu Ghraib situation will soon be forgotten.

Enough said.

He says the same thing every time there is a PC.

none of this is good. and the man whose head was cut off, horrific. just disgusting. the scream will be something the mom will live with forever. without even hearing it.

we just really need to wake up in this country. we have to see we created this.

This is a direct result of our unethical treatment. This is just one more failure on top of many. I agree with you, we created this mess.

to the people and caused us to be in this position! He and his henchmen trumped this war up and they should be the ones on trial.!

"bring it on."

Well, there you go Chimpy. That's what bringing it looks like. Congratulations, jackass!

:hi:

how they take a death they caused and use it to their own advantage to spin the righteousness of their own position.And we know they will NEVER pursue those who are responsible because "WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US"!

read the rest of this thread, we are guilty of the same damn thing and it makes me sick

a few months early.

Berg will become a martyr, a neo-con christ, a John Birch. A well-intentioned innocent in whose name horrible, horrible things will be done.

Why exactly should I care about this one guy that died?

Cause al-queda did it??????

How many of our soldiers are going to die today?

I'm sick of Iraq. Let's withdraw and stop dying, kay?

They can have it.

Sadly, this is will play in Peoria.

I mean, really?

for every "Bring them to justice" spouted by this administration. I'm so GD sick of all of them and everything thats going on, we are in such a bad way it almost defies comprehension.

"The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the — the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Oct. 27, 2003

This is a good one.

"Oftentimes, we live in a processed world — you know, people focus on the process and not results." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 29, 2003

Oh wait, then you wouldn't be able to paint Saddam as a terrorist lover by proxy, and the case for invasion would be weakened. Well then, that's okay.

Why was he held by US in prison?
How do we know he was beheaded by Al Qaeda?
How do we know who made this video?

Good for the goose and all of that.

I've never been more disgusted and discouraged in my entire life.
