Berg's father compares Zarqawi to Bush

[Generic Other]

"Zarqawi felt my son's breath on his hand as held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it," Berg added, pausing to collect himself. "George Bush sits there glassy-eyed in his office with pieces of paper and condemns people to death. That to me is a real terrorist."

1. Damn. He's not holding back.

He was brutal to Bush and BushCo on CNN this AM during the interview by Soledad O'Brien.

3. Berg: another target for a Coulter rant

4. Hardly fair to Bush...

Zarkawi, no doubt, killed thousands. Our little Napoleon, however, managed to destroy a credible fraction of a million people--without dodging any bullets, never in any danger (except for getting so stupid drunk a few times and falling on his face,) constantly guarded by a security force that would do the nastiest terrorist kapitan in the world proud, playing Walker, Texas Ranger in his demented little brain.

Zarkawi made no secret about his aims and, as far as I know, felt no need to feed everyone an unending stream of lies/y crafted lies.

I am sorry! Horrifying own self-must stop.

7. I wish there were more people like this

When I heard that today i was instantly reminded of two other people who had the guts to speak out . One is Cindy Sheehan who wanted a simple answer from an ignorant bush , she started out for herself and it grew .

Then there was Henry Taylor who spoke up and could'nt have said it better .

Now this , here we have reality at it's finest , real people speaking out and it's powerful stuff .

I agree, it takes guts for the families to speak out. I have heard a number of them do so of late.

12. This man has insight that W could only WISH to have

I hope the best for mr. berg, and am sorry for his loss. I remember when the threat and finally the beheading of his son was all over the media, and what revulsion I felt, and immediately I felt that the person missing in the room for that horrible act was Bush, although he was there in a shadowy way...
