Well 1 out 5 isn't too bad I suppose. Though at least August and a few others seem to understand why this sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated and excused.
No problem you say? What a load of crap!

Why do you attempt to equate behavior that is both unacceptable and severely punished when it occurs in the US Military with mass murder deliberately committed on orders of the enemy leadership?

Your irrational hatred of the present administration has made you blind to the difference between truth and fantasy and you seem quite willing to distort anything and everything in your zeal to make them look bad. It has also given you a case of selective memory when it comes to what was accepted as common knowledge by both sides of the aisle before the removal of Saddam from power.

If you want to know why the Democrats (who do the same thing on a national level) continue to loose elections, there's your reason. The American people would rather have a bunch of greedy businessmen in power than hand it to a group who are willing to cheer on our enemies in order to hurt their political opponents.
