Abu Ghraib Prisoners: We want the Americans back!

[rotorgun]

While I am in agreement with Divinus Arma that we do, despite the actions of some American soldiers, treat our prisoners much better than the Iraqis treat theirs. Then again, this is supposed to really be their war isn't it? Mind you, I am not making excuses for the bad behavior of the former American guards at Abu Gharib, or the alleged abuses at Guantanamo. Those responsible should be tried and disciplined as is right.

I think that the sooner we get out of the way, and let the Iraqis deal with their own, the better. I don't care for the situation any more than anyone else. I still can't, for the life of me, understand what the Bush administration was thinking on just what was going on in Iraq before we invaded. I was always doubtful that the religous, ethnic, and cultural differences between the opposing factins could be resolved without a civil war. The Iraqis are only just beginning to set things right from their point of view. Trust me, it's going to get a whole lot bloodier before it's through. Watch what happens as we let more and more of the Iraqi army take over. Saddam II, the Shiite version, look out!

Utterly astounded? Come on!
