Bush*. Saddam. What’s the difference?

I had to use some plastic sheeting and duct tape to put my jaw back in place after I read this; from the Marine Commander in Fallujah...

Byrne said U.S. Marines would not withdraw from their positions in Fallujah. "Diplomacy is just talk unless you have a credible force to back it up," he said. "People will bend to our will if they are afraid of us."

:wow:

BTW...this quote had turned up missing from the original CBS link, but they kept it on a different link. Also, when I searched for this quote on other online news sources it turned up "missing", but it's still there in the search engine cache. And my apologies in advance if this has already been "discussed". I searched DU and did not find it anywhere....

3. Byrnes quotes

Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne, commander of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment.
I did a search and read some other quotes from this guy, from before and after deployment. There are too many to post here, but he apparently enjoys what he is doing too much. Absolutely sickening.

4. One is an unelected, megalomaniacal ...

half-bright, sub-human with pretensions of competence; and the other one has a long white beard.

5. The both kill and use the fear of death.......

...to bend the will of the Iraqi people.
:shrug:

Ted Kennedy is "enpowering" the Iraqi "insurgents" by comparing Iraq to Vietnam, but I quess comments like this one from our Military commanders are "harmless".
