Where's The Bad News?

Without enough bad news coming out of Iraq, the New York Times has to take another avenue to bash the troops. Sometimes you just have to hate that paper. But it's warranted.

The New York Times starts a new series, called “War Torn”: “A series of articles and multimedia about veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have committed killings, or been charged with them, after coming home.”

I know that you patriots rely on slogans and symbols, but some of us are interested in facts. Perhaps a big plate of Freedom Fries and a copy of the Washington Times (aka the Moonie Paper) would be in order.

The vicious hatred the left has for our soldiers is stunning!

LMAO!!! Some people wouldn't know a fact if it slapped them on the arse. They are the kind of people who call generals "liars" BEFORE they open thier mouths. The number of vets committing/accused of murder is not significantly larger than peace time. Substance and spousal abuse is up some though.

Looks like our Men and Women in uniform tend less towards homicide, than our population as a whole.

That would include you and I, Bob, in the latter group.

Facts (as opposed to myopically-strained gnats) are pesky things, aren't they?

Here is a fact Hellery has informed us of that the Boob could get next to. At least she presents it as a fact, not matter how utterly absurd the notion. See, the act of the Dems threatening to pull out of Iraq (tomorrow, five years from now, or just over the horizon, depending on which Dem leader she means) has caused the surge to be a success. I wish we had of known this great strategy when we were preparing to attack Japan in 1945. Instead of dropping the big one, Truman could have simply said, "This war is hopeless. We are going to pull out of the Northwest Pacific area." Japan would have immediately surrendered and began cooperating with an occupation. Keen eh Boob?

1945? John McCain was already 9 years old. Don't you patriots have anything better than a tired old man?

Bob ... don't you have anything better than an ambulance chaser, a Chicago machine politician, and a Machivellian coattail-cowgirl?

Compared to this, the two "tired old men" on the other side look awful good ... and I consider them second-string in many respects to the Olympic whiz kid and the Times Square arse-kicker who actually have had to manage something more than a law office or Senate staff.
