Freepers: Beheading of Berg good for bush...must read!!!
From Buzzflash:

<snip>
Public Opinion for the Bush Administration improved slightly following the release of a video graphically showing the execution of an American citizen at the hands of Arab Terrorists.

“Finally all that pressure being piled on by those abuse photographs has all but blown away.” commented one of Mr Bush’s advisers, “To be honest our spin doctors were working 24 hours a day trying to pull us out of that quagmire and along come our enemies and do it for us. I must remember to thank them… when I’ve had the marines fry their testicles and nail their asses back to last July for doing something like that to a potential Bush voter.”

1. This is obviously satire
And some Freepers were actually sharp enough to pick up on that.

Still, some of the comments from the usual dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers posters were hilarious. For example...

“Remember, these prisoners are not there for traffic violations, they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. They probably have American blood on their hands and here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals. They probably deserved what they got given to them.”

The most profound words since, "Four score and seven years ago...."

6. I have a problem with them being called insurgents
there 's no established government in Iraq and it's their damn Country not ours they haven't even had elections.
Iraq was invaded first to get rid of WMD that aren't there then it turned into getting rid of Saddam and bringing democracy to the people of Iraq.

Main Entry: 1in·sur·gent
Pronunciation: -j&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin insurgent-, insurgens, present participle of insurgere to rise up, from in- + surgere to rise -- more at SURGE
1 : a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially : a rebel not recognized as a belligerent
2 : one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one's own political party

10. That US soldier that was locked up in Gitmo may bring that out.
Or at least that has been my hope from the stories I've seen.

He seems to have evidence of abuse and was improperly detained himself.

4. Just following the RW radio talking points of (gulp) politicizing it
They are trying to accuse the Dems of politicizing the POW crisis while at the same time politicizing the Berg murder. Hannity yestaerday actually compared the Berg killing to 9/11, seriously he said that a "friend" told him it was 9/11 all over again.
