4. Will
They're chopping off peoples heads. I say they've already started. Why are we fighting at their level if we're bringing them a "better" life. It's beyond hypocrisy.

5. Isn't it a little weird, this timeline -
1. US mercenaries bodies burned and defiled on a bridge.

2. Videos start appearing where "terrorists" start beheading Americans.

3. Torture photos surface from prison run by US - not exactly the military, but a "shadow group" with enough clout to order around our forces

4. More and more violence and beheadings occur.

5. Reports start coming out that rumblings were heard about US forces abusing and torturing Iraqis as early as mid-2003; not mentioned in the "mainstream liberal media"

Number 5 was around well before number 1.

7. You know 5 happen first
because we tortured the Afganistan prisoners before the Iraqi war ever started.

8. Yeah
Then he goes out and tells MLB that congress will dictate drug testing to them if they don't do it themselves. So to do my job I have to pass a federally mandated drug test. This is a conservative? A small government guy? A guy for less federal interference in your life? Oh it's "only" the baseball players he'd never do that to me...
