Nov 22, 2009

  Unfortunately, the truly "blatantly biased and ignorant" seem to be such perfectly accomplished dupes that they are unaware of torture at Abu Ghraib, and "shock and awe" aerial bombardment tactics in civilian areas that killed scores of civilians each time, the many killings of civilians at checkpoints, the admitted war crimes featured in Winter Soldier by returning vets, and countless other reports, let alone massacres by Blackwater mercs. As for Iraqis welcoming those atrocities, that was the stupidest and most ignorant comment imaginable: from the very start, to the present, the vast majority of Iraqis polled, and in the legislature, have consistently demanded the immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces precisely because they were a threat to their security, and they were explicit about.

  Here is an excellent example of Maximilian Forte’s blatantly biased and ignorant opinions: "Otherwise, the question of plagiarism is not scandalous in comparison with the real atrocities committed by the US military in places such as Iraq." The only information Forte has about the “atrocities” committed by the US military is the information portrayed by the biased media. Has he actually gone to Iraq? I believe soldiers involved in Civil Affairs would know more than Mr. Forte. These soldiers are the ones who work with the citizens of Afghanistan and Iraq and help rebuild the country. If you compare “the Iraq” controlled by Saddam, and “the Iraq” helped by these soldiers, you will find that the majority of the Iraqi citizens welcome these “atrocities” committed by our force
