Seymour Hersh is about to become Bush administration enemy number one.

Here is Mr. Hersh's description from a video that he has in his possession:

“Three U.S. armed vehicles, eight soldiers in each, are driving through a village, passing candy out to kids,” he began. “Suddenly the first vehicle explodes, and there are soldiers screaming. Sixteen soldiers come out of the other vehicles, and they do what they’re told to do, which is look for running people.” “Never mind that the bomb was detonated by remote control,” Hersh continued. “[The soldiers] open up fire; [the] cameras show it was a soccer game.” “About ten minutes later, [the soldiers] begin dragging bodies together, and they drop weapons there. It was reported as 20 or 30 insurgents killed that day,” he said.

This will more then likely blow the lid off of the Iraq war. It is not too surprising to find that soldiers under tremendous pressure, and with no workable plan, are resorting to this type of crminial behavior. But that, in no way, excuses this sort of monstrous behavior.

Seymour Hersh continues with, “In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,” he said. “It isn’t happening now, but I will tell you – there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.”

There is nobody to blame except for George W. Bush. This is his war, his plan, his place in history.

  1. I'm surprised Mr. Hersh hasn't had a fatal accident yet.
    I hope I end up in the same detention camp as he does.
