(62,325 posts)the Iraq War. Maybe I should have quit my day and found a job in the US Government, since I apparently was able to make better judgements than those being paid those huge sums of money to make these decisions. Not that it was hard, the lies were so obvious.
Btw, how did Abu Ghraib fill up with detainees, Guantanamo Bay, if there is no time to arrest people during war? Who arrested all those people?
And to try to claim that Al Awlaki was in a war zone facing US troops is simply ridiculous. He was in Yemen, we do not have an army in Yemen, we are not at war with Yemen, so there is no comparison. The US Govt. sent in people to assassinate someone, NOT on a battlefield, NOT armed and threatening any US personnel and no matter how many times they are asked why this happened, we have yet to hear a coherent answer.
