Remember all that right wing bullshit about the president setting an example for others? Well it turns out they were right.
A senior British officer in southern Iraq is quoted saying: "My view and the view of the British chain of command is that the Americans' use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they're facing. They're not concerned about the Iraqi loss of life in the way the British are."
He went on: "The US troops view things in very simplistic terms. As far as they are concerned, Iraq is bandit country and everybody is out to kill them."
President McDumbass' constant "yer either with us or against us" blather has consequences. Now obviously Drinky doesn't dictate the rules of engagement in Iraq. And furthermore, I'm not advocating that we try to teach our troops the finer points of interpersonal relationships before they open fire. But obviously our shoot first, then call in artillery, oh and we need an Apache to strafe that hospital and if you still have any questions please write to the CPA attitude isn't working.
