geekchick"Why We Americans Are So Much Better Than Those Iraqi B*st*rds", by Joe Lieberman, age 5.

I thought it wasn't possible to have any less use for him than I already did, but there it is. Why on earth should he expect anyone to apologize for "the hundreds of Americans killed in liberating Iraq"? I don't recall getting an engraved invitation to please come to Iraq, but maybe it got lost in all the junk mail. The desecration of the contractors' bodies in Fallujah, if I remember correctly, was condemned. Of course there were those who thought it was a fine idea, the same way that there are Americans who think that the abuse of Iraqi prisoners is a good thing. Read some of the letters at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/29/60II/main614799.shtml ; "At one time I would have condemned the way they were treated, but after recently seeing them burning Americans there, I say they should give those troops medals. An eye for an eye."
Joe really oughta get that inflamed and swollen sense of moral superiority looked at, I bet they've got good drugs for that.
In his questioning of the panel, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman contrasted the U.S. response to the abuse scandal and terrorist responses to acts perpetrated against Americans. He noted that American leaders apologized to the Iraqi people for the outrages in Abu Ghraib, but he hasn't heard anyone apologize for the 3,000 Americans killed in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, or an apology for the hundreds of Americans killed in liberating Iraq or an apology for the killing and desecration of four security persons in Fallujah.

Date: 2004-05-07 08:09 pm (UTC)WTF? And if I recall rightly, there were no Iraqis involved in 9/11.
How... rude! How unempathetic and sheltered and blind! I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry!

That possibility explains the question as to why one vehicle, in the middle of the convoy was targetted, and why similar treatment wasn't meted out to Marines who were killed elsewhere, the same day.
Liberman just lost what little credit he had with me.
