1. My Lord
What a sorry excuse, "I never received a copy of the Geneva Convention." Basic human decency tells you this is WRONG. Yes, the upper command should have sent down some basic guide lines, but this is no excuse for actions like these. Shame.

I know the fast majority of soldiers are decent people, but why oh why do the bullies generally end up watching the prisoners?

11. It's on Al Jazeera (sp??), so at least the Arab world will see them
But I think they will produce a huge crop of suicide bombers.

18. we'd done that some time ago, shortly after our rape of Iraq started...

But this nightmarish incident is going to increase the problem onehundredfold.

Bush* CAUSED all of this to happen. He is responsible. We were infintiely better off WITH Saddam, oddly...

What has happened is utterly wrong, immoral, wrong, outrageous, immoral, unethical, inhuman, inhumane, un-christian, you name it.

This is a dark day for America.

And if * wins, it's going to be the end. For real.

16. I'd much rather everyone in America saw them instead.
Unfortunately, I think that the rest of the world is going to see these pictures alot more than Americans will.

7. Come On - People Need to be Woken UP
These people are in complete denial. The very same people who always used Saddam's "rape rooms" as an excuse for invasion. I've been baned - but I sure would like them to see what is real.

14. It makes me sick. Outraged. Angry. They are bacteria-infested scum.

What I do want to call her public would make any of us, even I, :puke:.



http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=109x8317

Every time I hear a story on how America is a shining angelic beacon, I want to get angry. We talk of the Geneva convention, prisoners of war, and other issues. We talk of other countries and how vile they are. Well, guess what? We're no fuckin' different at all.

Now I've heard lots of other ATROCITIES our soldiers have done. But this one is the worst. This is more than just blood splattering violence for the masses to enjoy, this is outright humiliation. And the arrogant little _____ and her buddy should be the most humiliated of them all.

Sheesh, they're as civilized as high school punks who rob liquor stores while taping themselves doing it. :eyes: When the cops arrive, they'll be sorry for their arrogance. But who watches the watchers? It's clear the US is just as depraved as the part of the world it claims to be depraved.

This is deplorable and the peoples of the world must see - and respond to - America, given what is being said of our own hypocrisy and violations. This picture is highly obscene, to say the very least.

I am aware that ther Iraqis and everybody else we're warring against would do sick stuff to our soldiers. Well, to do as they do in return speaks volumes for a purportedly "civilized" nation. If other countries are doing bad things to our soldiers, we need to be moral about it. Not act like MONKEYS and do as they do but with bigger guns and more sickening attitudes.

Oh yeah, the cigarette-chomping __________ is mimicking a semi-automatic with her hands. Guess where they're pointed at? Humiliation to the max, dude. x(

17. Next time you hear, "I support the troops, but not the policy"...
...you need to remember this video. The troop you are supporting may be one of the ones in this video.

19. sad but true
these are not the first awful images i've seen of u.s. soldiers acting like nazis. it is war afterall, and they are there to kill people. liberations is only a ruse, at best an afterthought.

i cannot support ANYONE no matter where their from for nazi behavior.
even if it was my own son doing it. i couldn't live with that knowledge.

20. The Classic American M.O. is to É

talk a good game and then do the exact opposite.

We did it to the Indians and everyone else ever since.

Anyone see the 100th episode of South Park where they show how America likes to have its cake and eat it too?

They basically show and prove how hypocrisy is AmericaÕs M.O.

ItÕs a brilliant episode.
