"And why is this OUR problem?" Posted by TheGateway1

The pro-war rhetoric about how 4,000 American lives was a small price to pay to spread the light of liberty and freedom in Iraq, makes it our problem.

If things like this go on now, what was their sacrifice for ?

Stop it, the neocons are getting ess-ee-ex ually excited.

Because Bush caused it, his puppet government is only carrying out his orders.

Wow and we thought Abu Boo Boo was bad.

They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
There''s only one step down from here, baby,
It''s called the land of permanent bliss.
What''s a sweetheart like you doin'' in a dump like this?

From the article:
"Imagine women in prison because their husbands are accused of terrorism. Now imagine their infants and children in prison with them. Worst of all, it seems they have no way out."

Well, yeah, in Israel. They''re either in jail or sitting on the rubble of their homes. The occupation itself is a prison for all 4 million Palestinians. It''s been going on for 40 years with no end in sight.
They don''t even have to do anything terroristic, just being themselves is enough reason for Israel to keep this going forever.

Hasn''t it ALWAYS the women and children who suffer for the stupidity of men in any war?

PITTY THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN..THE MEN ARE COMPLETLY WITH OUT HONOR.

[incog-nito]

What else is new. Every armed force needs "comfort women" to keep their ranks from going berzerk.

Eh?

Freedom - GW Bush style.

Aren''t we all glad we forced democracy on them?

We''ve replaced one dictator with a Government full of them (including ours).

Hello;

NOW is the time for President BUSH to go to IRAQ, go and see those political leaders of this country, and RIGHT this situation.

And that''s not enough. He should ACTUALLY... VISIT the women''s prison, and see for himself exactly what''s going on.

If necessary, take interviews, take pictures, document everything they see that paints a picture of INJUSTICE that is STILL going on in IRAQ.

Then, he can take this documentaion before CONGRESS and finally be able to make a case. We cannot let ordinary IRAQUIS suffer this humilitaion for all the world to see.

If NOTHING is done for these women, then our four thousand AMERICAN soldiers will have died in VAIN. We AMERICANS would CERTAINLY not allow AMERICAN WOMEN to suffer these indignities, without hearing about them in our news media... EVERYDAY!!!! This is PRECISELY why American soldiers go to war and DIE for.

If President BUSH does NOTHING... then he will answer for this to a HIGHER AUTHORITY... after DEATH. This MISCARIAGE of justice cannot be allowed to continue.

Otherwise, we have NO BUSINESS getting ENTANGLED in foreign political squables to begin with. And then, I would have been CONVINCED that we should have gotten out a long time ago.

What other PROOF do we as AMERICANS... NEED?

Enough is enough.. Mr. Bush. Or your REPUBLICAN PARTY wouldn''t have a SNOWBALL''S chance in HELL!!!!.. IN THIS next ELECTION!

It is not American military holding these women terrosist in prison! They are being held by their own countrymen. Next time they should not support terrorist. TOO BADD, so sad, NOT.

These are not "terrorists". Can''t you read?? They have not been charged with anything and don''t even know why they are being held. Are you really this stupid or are you just trying to get a response?

[cdfoxtrot]

Is this the moron-in-chief''s idea of progress? This disgraceful treatment of human beings will likely create at least a few who will grow up to despise all things American. And that''s aside from the immoral involvement of our soldiers who are there in our name. Shame on us for sitting by and letting this happen.

[missingamerica]

"We''ll appoint a committee...".

Wow. When did our Congress find the time in their busy legislative lives to train these guys?

[rowdytexan2]

This is the democracy that we''re bringing to them?

You could be right on the ''they shouldn''t be in bed with terrorists'' thing. At least if that was here. But their marriages are arranged, they don''t really have a lot of choice about their bed partners.

Remember all the hoo hah with the pictures of women actually voting in Iraq? Somehow I doubt they''ll ever see that day again. And close to 4,000 soldiers went to their death believing in this ***.

When Bush and Cheney get the oil contracts they want, they''ll be out of there like rats hearing a trap snap. And these women will be dead.

Thank you usmc1968

[usmc1968]

Well this story when coupled with the Abu Gharib scandal is not surprising, one has too wonder where the writers for the popular show "24" and its hero the rogue CIA agent who tortures, threatens too kill women/children of alleged terrorists got their story line, most likely some CIA handlers gave them the stories out of their case files, no doubt the sadists in our society will view this with glee, just as those who think water boarding [a middle ages torture technique] is merely a new form of back stroke swimming, funny how the Nazi tortures, war crimes were justified too as "National Security", end justified the means, and one can see how far that society went and how it ended for its citizens who sat blindly by and allowed it, man men/women rise too power, via deception, creating a boogie man [jews in case of Nazi''s], the islamofacists, funny how theres not one wit of difference between the republican facists of today and these boogie men terrorists, both will do anything and justify it as "patriotism" there is a old saying patriostism is the last refuge of a scoundrel...., real americans who believe in the US constitution will find this story repulsive, only those who would have made good SS men in Nazi germany will find any glee in this story...

Its easy to just criticize people try''n on the sidelines. Its easy to just sit back in yer armchairs and say: "Well ain''t dat stupid!" Quite another to have an alternative solution. Ain''t it Democrat. I don''t know what pisses me off worse. The right wing lunatics in the pockets of bankers killing people, or you saying you had a better idea.
