#14 Why would CIA capture their own men (BinLaden, Zarkawi) anyway?

#15 Murat:

Why? Why must you agitate? Have you sense of civility?

And you're apparently rooting for the murderer.

What does this say about you? That you are stupid enough to think this is a game. That you are sufficiently asinine to believe scoring an imaginary point in your pathetic political game actually means something. That you're not just morally bankrupt, you're seriously overdrawn. That you're beneath contempt.

Since you're obviously a dhimmi-in-waiting, perhaps someday you'll feel the knife at your throat. You can tell us who won your game with your last gurgle.

FOAD, asswipe.

#18 We are likely to see more claims like this. There may well be a lot of posturing and a lot of claims designed to build up someone's reputation.

It's true that Iraqis are tribal and therefore don't operate the way we do. But it's also true that the professionalism of our troops and our own national identity didn't just happen automatically. It took a conscious effort on the part of multiple generations to build the American values of assimilation without losing ethnic identity. Those of us from an ethnic background other than WASP know that our ancestors faced resistance at first, and also that they agonized in many cases over how to preserve the past identity while becoming American too.

Nor does the ethic of brotherhood in the military just happen automatically. It's inculcated intentionally, as in the commander's priorities taught to young officers:

"My men, then my mission, and only then myself."

"perhaps someday you'll feel the knife at your throat. You can tell us who won your game with your last gurgle."

WELL SAID!!! Better a knife at this asshole's throat than at my husband's or yours.

Are Anon857685... and Murat the same idiot?

#24 Be nice to Murat. He may be an idiot, but he's our idiot. I think his heart's in the right place, but his brain needs some work.

#26 Murat, the CIA takes care of its own. When osama, saddam, zarkawi were trained by the CIA they were given specific instruction to behave. No jumping on the bed, no running while carrying sharp objects, ect.

But they didn't listen. So the grown up thing to do is to take responsibilty for out of control children. So now you know why.

#27 Lucky, you're an inspiration .....

Totally off topic, but I've been thinking for some time of stealing the names of some champion Whippets (minus the kennel name) for a litter of English Cockers of my own. The breeder of xxxx kennel had a Whippet itter she named xxxx Runs With Scissors, xxxx Shows Her Panties and so on. Cute hounds.

She missed Jumps On Bed though. I like it! LOL

#29 xxx Shows Her Panties?

Are you sure she is running a dog kennel and not a cathouse?

#30 Umm, Tibor, some of us have well-behaved dogs. NONE of my dogs humps a leg. Bitches, maybe, but not a leg. Hmph.

Crotch smelling OTOH is a basic canid social behavior. Dogs can tell the age, sex, physical well being, hormonal status and dominance status of other dogs via that brief greeting ... and they invented Pee-Mail well before Al Gore. Heh.

Yes, Ed, Shows Her Panties is a cute Whippet with white markings that are eyecatching when she gaits in the show ring. LOL
