I thought the Bush administration has killed over 600,000 innocent people in Iraq? Some have even said its over 1 million by now. Someone is pulling the triggers and dropping the bombs, and it ain’t the “commander guy.”

There is no draft, so everyone fighting in Iraq today – obeying orders from their superiors to commit war crimes – have volunteered.

Remember, the occupation itself is a war-crime. Bush should be brought up on charges for invading Iraq. Every civilian death is a murder by the Bushitler regime. Therefore, every soldier who has participated in the invasion, occupation, or killing of civilians in Iraq is an active, willful participant in the perpetration of a war crime. At least, according to the Nuremberg precedent and the Geneva conventions.

Don’t even mention the hundreds-of-thousands of Iraqis who signed up to fight along side Americans, even taking orders from them. They are all collaborators to a genocide of their own people. Right?

Jimmy, do you have ANY evidence of people signing up in order to kill innocents? If so, why not offer it? Because otherwise this is total dreck.

Its worse now. In the Iraq war, soldiers actually sign up to kill innocents and collaborate with a war crime.

I was against the Nazi invasion of Poland, but I supported the Nazi troops who were just doing their job.

There is a difference between opposing a war and opposing the troops who are doing their job.

I wonder which side William Ayers falls on. Obama should be careful, he’s dropping friends like crazy.

…and that is the state of politics today.

Everything and anything a candidate says is twisted by someone into ugly. People look for reasons to be offended and work pretty hard at it.

It couldn’t have always been like this, could it?

In vietnam that distinction wasn’t properly made

Furthermore, the people who might feel like they’re “getting thrown under the bus,” by such comments, tend to be some of his most ardent supporters (liberal activists) so its not like they’re going to leave him over those comments. Its a nice play by Obama politically. He can appeal to voters who need a reason to like him, while only losing some stock from people who wont leave him anyways.

A good way to pick up some votes and shore up some support in the general election without losing a different swing block.

Considering that America has an estimated 400,000 homeless veterans mostly from the Viet Nam era Obama may have a really good point.
