No, I read your post.
When Bush Sr. said it, if he did. It was a different time, different circumstance.
I'm not a big fan of either Bush, Jr. or Sr. That war hits very close to home for me.
But the facts are, we are over there now. Americans and Iraqis alike face loss of life.
Yeah I know, war is hell. But war is one thing, barbarism is another. If they had ambushed those people and left it at that, I could comprehend that as casualties of war. Its happening every day and its terrible.
But the act of mutilating and desecrating corpses crosses any lines of decency.
The thing that gets me is I don't understand people who seem to justify that kind of behavior as understandable, given the circumstances. I just don't accept that. But I guess thats just me.
Oh, and btw. I didn't paraphrase. I used direct quotes.
