Handicapping our fighting forces

the drones should be equipped with a self-destruct system, lives shouldn't be risked to salvage their weapons or their technology.

Hmm, what if we just stream-lined things and created divisions of actual handicapped soldiers? We could have a wheelchair calvary...

Ya, I'm going to hell.

Two questions:

1. Just exactly who is responsible for leaking the classified documents?? They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent ot the law although I doubt this administration will do any more than they did in the Philly new pansy case. FWIW the NY Slimes contacted the obambi administration on this last week and evidently wasn't told to not publish.

2. Just how does it promote the interests of America to build 83 mosques in the islamic republic of Afghanistan? It seems we have lost sight of our original intent in the 'good war.'

1. According to the AP/Fox News article:
U.S. government agencies have been bracing for a deluge of thousands more classified documents since the leak of helicopter cockpit video of a 2007 firefight in Baghdad. That was blamed on a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, Spc. Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Md. He was charged with releasing classified information this month. Manning had bragged online that he downloaded 260,000 classified U.S. cables and transmitted them to Wikileaks.org.

2. My concern is with the safety of those executing the war. The decision to turn the planning of the war over to knuckleheads was made (or at least reinforced) at the polls in Nov. 2008.

More on Manning.

WikiLeaks-Julian-Assange.jpg


Julian Assange, the limp wristed cup cake of 'wikileak' who released the documents to the NY Simes and accusing Americans of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bravo Zulu to the "hacker" that Manning contacted for alerting the Pentagon about this guy and helping catch him.

As much as I'd like to see Assange get sent through Army boot camp (for his own good, as well as ours), the real culprit here is the leaker. If it is Spc. Bradley Manning, I hope they nail his butt to the wall. Back in the day, Gen. Robert E. Lee or Gen. Ulysses S. Grant would have stood him up at the firing wall and disposed of the treasonous piece of meat.

I thought that the Republican line was that Afghanistan was Obama's war. Now I'm reading commentary from Republicans that Obama did not stop the publication of things that makes the war (according to them, his war) look bad?

Very confusing.

You guys need to decide whose side you are on.

Let me wait to respond until I get the fax or email from Michael Steele telling me what to say. I don't want to break the left's image that we all get uniform talking points....

you act as if everyone here needs party line talking points similar to yourself. You are wrong - again.

How angry would you be if the US was sitting on built technology capable of detonating IED's within a 24 mile radius?

Wouldn't surprise me for a moment that we had this weapon 15 years ago.

I was surprised this little doozy hasn't been found out yet by someone in the media. The reasoning behind not using it is they are afraid it might detonate IED's on civilians.
