Support the troops–except when it comes to Iran, which has killed 170 and wounded more than 600 in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. But the Bush administration apparently has done nothing about it, and now that it is talking about doing something about it, the Democrats are threatening to retaliate–against the administration. Doesn’t anybody here know how to play this game?
UPDATE Among the arms Iran is sending into Iraq are these .50 caliber Austrian sniper rifles.
When the going gets tough, Mr. Anonymous Source (Seymour Hersh) talks tough, i.e. as anti-American as he can make it.
"’If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said [at McGill University in Montreal].
“’In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,’ he said. ‘It isn’t happening now, but I will tell you – there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.’”
Fie on you, Hersh, and a pox on your house.
Given Kerry’s remarks, tortured explanation, half-hearted apology and all, despite his long history of doing the same thing, ShrinkWrapped wonders if these swipes are being orchestrated, as part of the Dems capture-Congress push. Kerry and Hersh are peas from the same pod.
