ACCUSATIONS AS A WEAPON!

Published on June 15, 2006 By Moderateman In War on Terror

Th enemy has studied America and has learned "we are an honorable nation" filled with high ideals.

The enemy is using our high ideals and our sense of moral obligation AGAINST US!

The enemy in Vietnam had a strategy. They believed in wounding more than killing, why? because of all the personal you tie up with caring for a wounded man, much more than just Killing someone.

Our new enemy has learned, you can get rid of our men and women in uniform much easier and without firing a shot, simply scream war crimes, and poof the men are removed from the field of conflict.

I do not know what happened at Haditha, neither do any of you, neither does the Senate, or the house making any kind of judgement before ANY FACTS ARE PRESENTED IS JUST PLAIN, PLAYING INTO THE ENEMIES HANDS, LIKE IT OR NOT IT'S TRUE!

The enemy is using this tactic at Gitmo to good results and now is expanding it to the field of combat. Our enemy had no honor, none and will stoop to any means to win, Lying is among the best weapon they have learned to use.

We in America are so fast to jump to conclusions about our military, usually negative thinking.

When will we understand the enemy we fight is implacable? will use any means to win, be it killing children, to beheading someone on television.

We need to start giving our fighting men and women the same benefit of the doubt our constitution lays out for us, Innocent till proven guilty, to do anything other than that {YES YOU JOHN MURTHA} is not only unconstitutional but giving aid and support to the enemy.

That's a new twist, but I think in the time of war, it is appropriate. After all, I dont know if Al Qaeda gets its talking points from the DNC, or vice versa. But one is parrotting the other.

We live in the age of the Rather Doctrine:

It's not the accuracy of the allegations that matter, it's the seriousness of the issues raised.

I thought that was Jim Wright. At least he was the first to state it.

It's called "Lying for Truth" and it has been around a long time. Get ready for its use at a level like you have never seen before in 2008. If you think the last two elections utilized the Internet, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Actually, I was wrong. That term was used in the 2004 election, but I think the real, original term for the tactic is "Lying for Justice" now that I think about it. Whatever you call it, expect a lot of it as we get closer to 2008.

I believe that the enemy is taking their lead from the democratic talking-head points. They see the furor it causes here and will use any means to achieve their goal.

Accusations rule the day now. As long as it makes America look bad it is taken serious. If the benefit of the doubt is used to make America look good, the far left will NOT GIVE it.

That tactics a million years old, MM. Evil is alway's gonna use the Good's sense of right against it. It's happening in this war, it happens in fighting crime here, it happens everywhere Good and Evil do battle. But, it's my belief Good will prevail at the end of the day.

That is very perceptive. And I agree. Criminals use it against us to get off as well. I just had never connected those dots.

while I agree with you, in part, I do not believe it has ever been used as a weapon of war before and used so skillfully too.

I remember reading an article somewhere ( I *think* it was on Michael Yon's site.) About when the person who wrote it went into a prison in Iraq, when the prisoners immediatley saw that he was a journlist, they started acting all "abused," and such. The guy said later that he was suprised about the fact that, in his words, "They sought to play the 'poor me' card on the journlists. As to get sympathy and a ticket out of the jails." (More or less in those words.)

Anywho, I think you are right. Information/propaganda, it is a big key to any war. Look at the previous wars, it shows you that it is.
