They were dragging dead children out of there.
The massacre happened and the soldiers got off with it. I don't think anyone was surprised. The same thing happened in other massacres like My Lai.

What the hell does Glenn Beck ranting about U.S. school buses being under the threat of an al-Qaeda attack have to do with an "anti-American" bias in the mainstream media? I admit I stopped watching after about 15 seconds, so if there was anything useful or worthwhile on that video, you'll have to provide a summery.
To riceandpeas... just remember this George Orwell quote: "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
--------------------
"Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every pine needle, every sandy shore, every humming insect is holy... We are part of the earth and it is part of us... The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth." - Chief Seattle
"...the role our nation has taken... of those who make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments... we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values... When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." - Martin Luther King Jr.

And how did 1984 turn out? Oh wait, it was totally wrong. Nevermind. There is an entire industry devoted to making money by inventing atrocities. That is the real conspiracy.

Yeah, this 'industry' really dwarfs the size & the scope of the military-industrial complex in the U.S. While the latter is done on a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars annually, the former is well into the trillions.

You're probably right. Internal & (later) declassified, official U.S. governments documents about past occurrences, which can be found in government libraries & other storage facilities in Washington D.C., are all fabrications of the "liberal media", planted secretly into these facilities by collaborators (Jimmy Carter appointees) within the U.S. government, & don't reflect actual past events & situations.

Only absolutely anencephalic morons would find an equivalence between the events at Haditha and My Lai. I am still waiting to find that brain dead zombie, but I'm sure one will pop up from the Daily Kos. They almost never fail.

I'm positively shocked that you even admit something bad happened at My Lai.

Quote:
The overwhelming desire of the media to present the soldiers as deranged murderers...
In 2004, the Pentagon published a "Moral Waiver Study," whose seemingly benign goal was "to better define relationships between pre-Service behaviors and subsequent Service success." That turned out to mean opening more recruitment doors to potential enlistees with criminal records.
In February, the Baltimore Sun wrote that there was "a significant increase in the number of recruits with what the Army terms 'serious criminal misconduct' in their background" -- a category that included "aggravated assault, robbery, vehicular manslaughter, receiving stolen property and making terrorist threats." From 2004 to 2005, the number of those recruits rose by more than 54 percent, while alcohol and illegal drug waivers, reversing a four-year decline, increased by more than 13 percent.
In June, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that, under pressure to fill the ranks, the Army had been allowing into its ranks increasing numbers of "recruits convicted of misdemeanor crimes, according to experts and military records." In fact, as the military's own data indicated, "the percentage of recruits entering the Army with waivers for misdemeanors and medical problems has more than doubled since 2001."

Swami, there aren't many rules in the Political Discussion forum. One of them is that cut-and-pastes must be accompanied with links to the sources from which they were copied. Could you please provide a link?

Thanks for the link. Isn't it wonderful that the Armed Forces are giving these young men a chance to straighten their lives out in a meaningful way?
