Buddy,

Do you really believe that manners and decency are the real motives behind the attacks on the treatment of the Gitmo prisoners by the MSM and the Democrats?

Richard, there's some dhimmitude for sure, but a lot of it may be plain old manners and decency--for which we ought to be at least a little proud. Well, 'proud''s not the right word but you know what I mean. Respect for others' beliefs--we have a pretty good bit of that in this country. It's a strength, of course. IMHO.

I would rather see it used to help feed people there and than buy Galloway a villa in Portugal. And of course they have no real evidence or alternative just he usual bitch bitch bitch. Buddy:

When Muslims start acting like humans as opposed to some alien beings that only know how to kill then I will start worrying about whether or not we are showing the proper respect for their religion. In case anyone has forgotten we are in a war with radical Islam. During WWII did we worry about whether we showed the proper respect for the Japanese Emperor? After all the Japanese worshiped him as a god. Is there any other religion in the US that is showed such deference? For this issue to be worthy of our concern shows how far along the dhimmitude of the US has progressed.

A lucid appreciation of context would ask what more efficient and effective stimulus/response could CPA have done, with the bullets flying, than putting stimulus in the hands of those whose lives depended on measuring immediate and proximate results? What was more critical than a bottoms-up stop-gap to slow bad momentums and speed good ones?

She is obnoxious. That money they are bitching about is the money spent the first months in Iraq when the soldiers were handing out money to people to help cleanup etc and when the CPA was getting up and running. I saw Bremer respond to this kind of crap and he said they had an economy flat on its back and people in the government getting shot at there was no way to keep books the way these people are saying they should have. He said they wanted up to 100 accountants for each department and the Iraqis said that was a waste of time and money. I read the summary of the report and they said they were not accusing the CPA of stealing the money, but of bad management. If Galloway and Clift and company want to see it some other way I assume they are free to make the charge. They might ignore blatant thievery on the part of the UN and the Iraq but I can not imagine they would miss an oppurtunity to trash people who are risking life and limb to rebuild Iraq. I do think that the folks at newsweek are in enough trouble without sucking up to a communist like Galloway. Buddy:
