Massacre? WHAT massacre?


Shorter Arabian Dissent: "Hey, who you gonna believe? Fox News or everybody else?"

P.S. You have to love that first comment by fellow Blogging Tory "Sham the Tory Man" Shameer Ravji. And you thought civil discourse in this country was dead.

SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL
. First, there's this from Mr. Dissent:

So you would think that after the Haditha massacre they’re would be a similar reaction, especially when we consider the details of the killings.

"Similar reaction?" Oh ... you must mean something like this:

Iraqi Accuses U.S. of 'Daily' Attacks Against Civilians

Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki lashed out at the American military on Thursday, denouncing what he characterized as habitual attacks by troops against Iraqi civilians.

As outrage over reports that American marines killed 24 Iraqis in the town of Haditha last year continued to shake the new government, the country's senior leaders said that they would demand that American officials turn over their investigative files on the killings and that the Iraqi government would conduct its own inquiry.

In his comments, Mr. Maliki said violence against civilians had become a "daily phenomenon" by many troops in the American-led coalition who "do not respect the Iraqi people."

Is that enough similar reaction for you, dude? I'd engage this buffoon in argument but, apparently, I'd just end up being a complete prick about it. Hugh Hewitt says so.

One day the critics take Maliki's word for it when it comes to these things and the next day he's an "American puppet" regardless of what he says.
