| Senator Inhofe - Politically Incorrect |
| 2004-05-11 |
| Senator ’Outraged by Outrage’ at Prison Abuse Talk about large nougahs! As others condemned the reported abuse of Iraqi prisoners, U.S. Sen. James Inhofe on Tuesday expressed outrage at the worldwide outrage over the treatment by American soldiers of those he called "terrorists" and "murderers." As I promised : politically incorrect I’m probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment," the Oklahoma Republican said at a U.S. Senate hearing probing the scandal. Senator, you are probably the only one at that table that has a grip on reality. "These prisoners, you know they’re not there for traffic violations," Inhofe said. "If they’re in cellblock 1-A or 1-B, these prisoners, they’re murderers, they’re terrorists, they’re insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands and here we’re so concerned about the treatment of those individuals." Kennedy, Biden, Daschle, and Kerry forget these facts In heated remarks at odds with others on the Senate committee who took aim at the U.S. military’s handling of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad, Inhofe said that American sympathies should lie with U.S. troops. NOVEL IDEA! "I am also outraged that we have so many humanitarian do-gooders right now crawling all over these prisons looking for human rights violations, while our troops, our heroes are fighting and dying," he said. Tsk tsk tsk. Politically incorrect again senator. What are we going to do with you? Inhofe, who visited Iraq in March, is described on his senatorial Web site as a leading conservative voice in the Senate, advocating "common sense Oklahoma values including less government, less regulation, lower taxes, fiscal responsibility and a strong national defense. With all due respect, Senator, those aren’t just Oklahoma values. |

| #1 Sweet--nice to know someone has the courage to stand up and speak his mind. Of course, now there will be the obligatory outrage over the outrage over the outrage, but c'est la vie... |
