As in, "Shut the fuck up or this is what you'll get, Demorcrats"?

Tell me I'm just being overwrought here.

1. You most likely are.
I think releasing those pictures was just an act of complete stupidity disguised as an attempt to justify the violence in Iraq. I don't think liberals were being targeted specifically.

2. pics

lets be honest--If they DIDN'T release the pics, we'd be bitching about them lying...trying to pretend they killed them when they really didn't. We'd be demanding proof...We would want evidence...We would want to SEE it. Well, we see it...it's disgusting...and people are still bitching. Enough already.

and to answer the first question: no, I don't think they are intended to scare dems...they are intended to scare arabs.

3. That's because there was no good way to handle this

Just like many more decisions that will be made about this quagmire of an occupation that Bush should have never conned us into.

6. It's their own fault
"lets be honest--If they DIDN'T release the pics, we'd be bitching about them lying...trying to pretend they killed them when they really didn't.

It's their own fault for finding themselves in a position that they would be doubted in the first place. That they felt the need to resort to medieval practices in an attempt to justify their actions only confirms that they're a disgusting and repulsive group.

They were suckered and now the world can see for themselves the kind of people who pass for American politicians these days.

4. No, I don't think it was a signal to Democrats.

5. What would Ann Coulter say....
...she's been saying that liberals and dems are traitors and may have to be killed....she would probably rejoice at the sight of a couple of Dem pols looking like the Saddam spawn.
