Rethuglican a-hole on FNC: Taliban should spare us the trouble and execute captured US soldier (YouTube)

[dalegg 143]

It sounded only like speculation that the missing soldier is a deserter because he was outside of the army base. I couldn't believe Peter's comment that the soldier is collaborating with the Taliban because he made false, anti-American statements on the video tape even if they were made under duress, and that because these statements aren't true that he is obviously a liar? Is this guy nuts? This soldier is terrified for his life - he isn't the first and won't be the last to make statements under duress that he doesn't support. Unbelievable!

Ok, just looked up who Ralph Peters is - he retired from the army in 1998, was a strong supporter for the Invasion of Iraq and has a fair degree of controversy in his own past. He is also a novelist - sounds to me like he is creating the plot for a new novel iin his imagination here rather than waiting for the facts to become known. To have this guy speak on this matter was irresponsible.

And where does it state he's a Republican? Oh yeah, IT DOESN"T. In fact it says quite clearly he's an Independant. He's critical of both parties.

"Peters was opposed to what became the Iraq War troop surge of 2007 when it was first proposed. In October 2006 he wrote, "the notion of sending more U.S. troops is strategic and practical nonsense. Had the same voices demanded another 100,000-plus troops in 2003 or even 2004, it would have made a profound, positive difference. Now it's too late."

How many of these posts from AJ are you guys just going to suck up without fact checking? You're a baaaaaad boy!

Facts don't count. Trolls don't need facts. You can't eat facts.

Lovely.

The true face of the thuggery and pure evil that is the Republican Party.

Silly liberals dont have a clue.

You can't deny though that this is a new level of douchebaggery (yes, I know I made that up).

This is one of those situations where we all should reserve any judgement until the facts are in. Whether or not he deserted is not cause for him to be violently murdered by a group of extremists.

No, I own the word "douchbaggery" I came up with it when trying to think of a fitting name for this new administration.

Tmma and I ™d that word last year But yeah, perfect usage for this admin lol

AJ is on a mission, don't let facts bog his momentum down.
