So then that evidently makes his shoe size in the 125+ range.

It looks like good old Uncle Sam has got his knickers in a bit of a twist...again...

Iraq will investigate allegations that US marines carried out a massacre of civilians in Haditha in November, the country's prime minister has said.
Nouri Maliki told Reuters news agency there was "a limit to th I wanna look smart eh, Mr. Scorsese..."
"I don't do sci-fi Mr. President..."
By the way, whats so scandalous about X-ray? Holding terrorist suspects in high security until such time as they can be prosecuted seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Originally posted by DelmerSo maybe the somewhat sanguine quote made about Bush will ultimately ring true. When he packs up at the oval office oneday he will leave awfully big shoes to fill!

The truth is that events such as this are inherent to war, especially one involving a guerrilla insurgency. The problem is only exacerbated by placing very young men into life and death situations for which they are extremely well-trained for the physical aspects of survival, but where psychological preparation for these horrors is nearly non-existent.
The American soldier is a professional whose honor and integrity are not in question. Acknowledging they are also human beings and that a very small number will perform truly savage acts during war is not an attack or a slander of our men and women in uniform. It is simple truth.

Originally posted by ChurlantThe Nuremburg trials however sent a clear signal that not all is fair in war and not all means justify the ends. I would not begin to question anyones honour but it would seem that a pack mentality can develop anywhere amongst anyone and what would be fine and upstanding examples of citizenry one minute could turn and perform heinous acts the next. History gives us too many examples to think otherwise.
