#1 Grief can do strange things to people. Like inventing torture, rape and murder that never occurred. Tell ya what Dad; if you keep your piehole open, you're fair game. Ann Coulter's not the only one getting tired of the tactic of using 'greiving' families as unimpeachable spokesmen for the Anti-Bush message.

#2 Why do people have such a hard time blaming obvious perpetrators who deserve it?

Is it because they are mollycoddled and prevented from seeing all the evidence of what the bad guys do?

they always reach for the easy target: blame the government

#3 "so that Zarqawi had a need to get in, to defend his region of the country from American invaders."

Since Zarqawi was Jordanian which region of the country of Iraq was his? Methinks Poppy Berg needs to look over some maps and history books.

#4 Either this guy has totally lost it over his son's murder, and can be forgiven for his gibberish, or, maybe he's always been this way and this idiot thinking encouraged his son's being over there in the first place.

#6 maybe he's always been this way and this idiot thinking encouraged his son's being over there in the first place.

From the Michael Berg for Congress website:

In 1965, as the Vietnam War was escalating under President Lyndon Johnson, Berg realized Americans had no reason to fight the people of Vietnam. Protesting the war became part of his life. He also became a teacher, earning a masters degree from Temple University in 1969. He found teaching a rich and fulfilling career. In 1991, when the United States invaded Iraq in the Gulf War, Berg intensified his protest activities despite reprimands from his school's administrator. He protested the current administration's invasion of Iraq as well, organizing local marches, protests, and vigils and traveling to Washington, D.C. These increasing efforts attracted a modicum of press coverage.

In March 2004, in Iraq, the American military and the FBI illegally detained Berg's son Nick, a civilian on a mission of peace, for thirteen days. This detention thrust Nick into an invigorated war, as the Iraqis were energized by the revelation that Americans had committed atrocities in Abu Ghraib.

Any questions?

#7 Grief can do strange things to people.

It can do even stranger things to strange people. If I remember correctly, this guy was already a little bit of a sky pilot before his son was killed.

#8 He should be forced to watch the video over and over until he can correctly identify who cut off his son's head.

#10 What an asshole!
Does he think you can win an election on sympathy?
Cause only about 8% of the country is as wildly leftist as this idiot.

#11 How long can it be before Michael Berg and Cindy Sheehan join forces.

#12 Perhaps Michael Berg would like to go over to Iraq and walk around on the streets. Without telling anybody who he is. I wonder what his half-life would be.

#13 #4 - I'll take Door #2.

#12 - his half-life would be longer than it people did know who he was....

#14 SO iff the Secular Commies = God-based Commies point their guns at him + Alan Alda/HAWKEYE, and no matter how raesonable, appeasing, or compromisory they are, unlike ALan Alda = Hawkeye will Berg at that moment fight for his life, or like HAWKEYE do what the people wid guns tell him to do???
