Show it all...

Our bud lawhawk is on top of everything today. If you aren't an avid reader of A Blog for All, you should be. He and his Able Danger buddies have the Abel Danger thing covered.

Also, he brought up an interesting question with this. He asks, why is it NOT OK to show the cartoons that sparked Muslim nuttiness but it's OK to show the Abu Grahib pictures, as many news outlets are doing.

I think both need to be shown. I know the argument that the pictures of Abu Grahib will spark violence against are guy holds water with some and that we've already seen some of these pictures and that it's an old story--holds water with some. It doesn't with me. Especially since we now know that Muslim violence can be sparked by the equivalent of Snoopy.

The government or military should have released all the photos at once so we wouldn't have to do this over and over, but they didn't. They held back the worst ones. The ones that show more than just prisoners wearing underwear on their heads.

We are strong enough to face our mistakes in the open and move on and the Muslims throughout the world are going to do what they are going to do. So, I say show it all.

Hey, at least I am consistent.

Michelle Malkin is also talking about it.

"Muslim violence can be sparked by the equivalent of Snoopy."

As opposed to America, where violence can be sparked by our favorite team winning the Super Bowl.

And your point? Mine was that no amount of pussyfooting around issues is going to keep them from doing what they decide to do-so it really isn't a good reason to not show either set of pictures

Given that we know that Islam hates anyone not a "true believer", the bit about them having a bigger boner for us because of more Abu Ghraib photos doesn't bother me at all. They are unstable, primitive, unhinged little children, period, they want to be that way, and we will not change that. These people do understand and respect brute force and the proper application of it.

You will notice they leave the Russians alone though. They have never gone out of their way to piss of the Russians, because they know one simple fact: if they do, they just might have a war on their hands, because the Russians just don't give a shit. You mess with them and you will be beaten down.

Chris has a point, I think, about showing both the offending cartoons and the offending photos. The photos of Abu Ghraib have no news value now though, as that has been a dead issue for a couple of years now. Until the media dredged it back up to remind us all of how evil we are and how nice the TERRORISTS are. And this shows the utter lack of balls on the part of the 4th estate, since they know who will kick their asses and who won't when they do something patently stupid. They also don't think we will pick up on that.

For the media, this is a clear example that for them they will only show it IF it hurts the current Administration.

Otherwise, you would've never known about the story much less seen the pics.

[USMC Steve]

I didn't specifically mention that Bombtruck, but only because I thought it kinda was assumed to be a fact.

The pics are out of context - meant to weaken the US military's standing in the world.

An estimated 4000 prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib in 1998 alone.

Saddam Hussein, the mass-murdering liar, is still being treated as a legitimate statesman by American reporters who demonize our CinC.

If the press reported the truth, people of good will around the world would find Saddam's Dorito habit as charming as Hitler's vegetarianism.

Remembering genocide, fomenting 'Zionocide'

by Anne Bayefsky

Jerusalem Post

On January 27 more than 1,000 Jews came to the United Nations General Assembly to mark the UN's first annual "International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust." --- Thirty percent of all resolutions of the UN Human Rights Commission critical of specific states over four decades have been directed at Israel alone. But there has never been a single resolution condemning human rights violations in places like China....

Four decades of American taxpayer-sponsored institutionalized anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, terrorist-appeasing.

Who knew?

Why not?

Missed the UN and MSM chapters in the 911 Commission Report.

The US Constitution promotes and preserves freedom.

The UN Charter doesn't.

Screw AP.

(Thank you, John Bolton.)

Armando Valladares, a poet who was imprisoned for 22 years, recalled in his memoir "Against All Hope" that Cuban jailers tortured the prisoners with the words of NCC apologists.

"That was worse for the Christian political prisoners than the beatings or the hunger," Mr. Valladares wrote. "Incomprehensibly to us, while we waited for the embrace of solidarity from our brothers in Christ, those who were embraced were our tormentors."

I respectfully disagree - the Russians have been fighting the Islamists for years without any sign of letup. Tens of thousands have been killed or displaced and that hasn't eliminated the threat in Chechnya or anywhere else in Russia for that matter. The Beslan school massacre was done in the name of Islam knowing that the Russians have no problem killing thousands of people in reprisal.

(Mention of John Bolton reminded me that he's been nominated rightly for the Nobel Peace Prize. Too bad the award and honor is somewhat tainted after recipient Jimmy Carter.)
