“Let me say this as plainly as I can: by Aug. 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end.” You should be very glad to hear today is either 8/22 or 8/23, depending on the time zone, and 8/31 is still over a week away. "But it seems that if he was killed in some non-combat circumstance the details would have been released immediately, if only to make the enemy look bad." Make the enemy look bad? Like, the enemy is shooting at a guy carrying a white flag? Like the enemy is shooting a nurse wearing a big red cross on her uniform? How does this make the enemy look bad? Seems to me the details were delayed in order to give the author an opportunity to make a complete idiot of himself, and he took the bait. I imagine, if the dead soldier hears anything, it will be the Cosmic Consciousness telling him he still has a few lessons to learn, and that he will be coming back as a female lounge singer in Beijing next time around.

Here you goo again. YOu are providing a URL that has "antiwar" in it's name. You think with a name like that they are not going to look for any excuse that has to do with war? And then, if you read it carefully it says this (and I cut and paste)... "Of course all we can do is speculate at this point,..." My earlier post had a video so that you could hear what Obama said and not what someone else thought he said. Again, this is not a thread for lies and propaganda. Get this straight.
