The Muslim street is furious over new torture allegations

[heyabbott]

Just Kidding. If an American soldier whistled at a burka-clad hottie, tere would be riots in Gaza, Beirut, Tehran, Amman and Damascas.

Not a peep over the latest muslim-on-muslim atrocities. Compared to what they do to each other AbuGrav was really just a fraternity prank.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The leader of Iraq's biggest Sunni Arab group demanded Wednesday that the beleaguered Shiite-led government take steps to disarm militias after police said the bodies of 65 tortured men were dumped in and around Baghdad. On a violent day even by the standards of Baghdad, car bombs, mortars and other attacks also killed at least 39 people and wounded dozens. Two U.S. soldiers also were killed, one in enemy action in restive Anbar province on Monday and the other in a roadside bombing south of Baghdad on Tuesday, the U.S. military command said.

The attacks have been unrelenting despite a security crackdown around the capital by 12,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops. The more than 1,500 violent deaths last month at the height of the joint operation speak to the difficulties in restoring any semblance of security to this sprawling city of 6 million people Although Sunni Arabs operate some death squads, the-clvast majority are run by Shiite militias and gangs..

Apparently, the United States government has made a value judgement that Western Judeo-Christian values are superior to muslim values(is there such a thing?)

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military acknowledged Wednesday that it considered bombing a group of more than 100 Taliban insurgents in southern
Afghanistan but decided not to after determining they were on the grounds of a cemetery."During the observation of the group over a significant period of time, it was determined that the group was located on the grounds of (the) cemetery and were likely conducting a funeral for Taliban insurgents killed in a coalition operation nearby earlier in the day," the statement said. "A decision was made not to strike this group of insurgents at that specific location and time."

While not giving a reason for the decision, the military concluded the statement saying that while Taliban forces have killed innocent civilians during a funeral, coalition forces "hold themselves to a higher moral and ethical standard than their enemies."

some muslims over there won't side with the US because they don't want to go against other muslims, yet they stand by and watch as shiite and sunnis murder each other in much higher numbers. hmm. just come out and say you don't like the US. way too much bull**** being said all over.

Gee, in the run-up to the elections, the only talking-point the adminsitration has left is the 'weak on terror, scary Muslims, boogedy-boogedy one," and, suddenly, this story gets leaked, despite the fact that the military is eight kinds of pissed.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the WH political apparatus.

Now the U.S. gets all sensitive and stuff? I guess after killing 100K civilians, their conscience got the best of them finally. :
