"The death toll, certainly of Americans there, by the terms of any previous war are quite minute," Murdoch told reporters at a conference in Tokyo.

Is this how Murdoch supports the troops?

4. Brit Hume said L.A. was more dangerous than Iraq.

[sandnsea]

6. And yet we aren't blowing it to bits

to smoke out the gangs. That's always been the most obvious example of why the military strategy in Iraq is wrong. We'd never blow apart American cities to get a terrorist cell here or there.

8. But then, brit hume is a stupid MFer who doesn't know shit.

Let's send brit to Iraq for 2 days. That would solve that problem.

14. I would think journalists would take even more umbrage with those comments...

Since this war has had MORE journalists killed in it than all of the modern wars in this century (71).

More than Vietnam (63)...
More than Korea (17)...
and more than WWII (69)...

And the reason we have less dead, is that we probably have more on average severely wounded than in other wars. Those amputees, etc. that are screwed for life would have died in past conflicts. That's just as, if not more horrible in some instances than many of them dying.

And we still have yet to see the effects of depleted uranium too.

17. Any of his relatives serving on the front lines?

No? I can't believe it.............

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. Okay, so now the veneer is off:

(1) Limbaugh made it clear that they will lie and be deceitful when the stakes are high.

and,

(2) They have no reservations creating a black hole of death in some foreign country where our children are sacrificed to the terrorists. As long as the right-wing middle-aged lard butts can continue their privileged lifestyles here on this soil without interference, all is good.
