If our military did anything wrong there are proper channels to deal with it. A politician making accusations for political gain isn’t one of them. |
I take it from our response you can't answer my question...
The youtube clip you posted is humorous right wing proganda.

This is NOT the first time therm term "cleansing" has been used in referring to Iraq. You knew that right Highway???

“You know, we look at the attack data going down, but it’s not taking into consideration that there might be fewer attacks because you have ethnically cleansed neighborhoods, particularly in the Baghdad area. It’s produced 2.2 million refugees that have left, and it’s produced 2 million internally displaced persons within the country as well.”
Mr. Speaker, we must remember that the justification for the surge and the justification for the Bush military strategy in Iraq has always been to foster Iraqi political reconciliation. And there is precious little evidence of any such thing."

Now, could other words have been used??
Sure.
But, what Christoff & Moran are saying is that because we have segregated the Sunni & Shiite in Baghdad, (temporarily quelling the civil war) there is less violence.
They're not saying OUR TROOPS ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE..
Got it????
