| Congressman Accuses US Troops Of 'Ethnic Cleansing' |
| 2007-12-19 |
| In case we forgot Harry Reid's fantasy of al-Qaeda "civil war" in Iraq from yesterday, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) reminds us why Democrats have gone out of their minds on the Iraq debate. Moran tells Congress during the funding debate that American troops "ethnically cleansed" Baghdad. No kidding (via The Corner): "Sure, there's less violence, but that's because we've ethnically cleansed most of Baghdad." The UN and most of the rest of the world define ethnic cleansing as a form of genocide. Moran believes that American troops have conducted that crime in Baghdad as part of a pacification program. His words have no other meaning. Of course, such an allegation is absurd on its face. Refugees streaming back to the capital put lie to such a scurrilous charge. In the next breath, Moran notes that the Sunnis stopped fighting us and started fighting al-Qaeda. Would they have likely made a choice to support the side committing genocide -- or did they recognize who the real genocidal maniacs are? The overall conduct of our military has been upright, honorable, and has given great credit to the nation. Unfortunately, despicable public servants such as Moran have no problem slandering them in order to score political points. We drove the Arabs out of Baghdad? |

| #7 Well maybe not a dog in VA. After what Vick did, dogs are even sacred to dumb libz now. I get your point to. Moron could be a card carrying member of NAMBLA & the libz wouldn't care. |

| #6 Moran's district is all of Arlington and Alexandria counties -- wall-to-wall liberals. He could bugger a yellow dog on the lawn of the Capitol and his constituents would pull the handle for him without thinking twice. So, alas, we're stuck with this POS for the foreseeable future. |

| #5 Saying this on the floor of the senate may protect you from charges asshole but it also makes it part of the public record. Whoever runs again this asshat should use this against him and challenge him to provide credible evidence. Somehow I don't think moron meant simply moving people around. I'm fairly certain he meant exactly what everyone is thinking. |

| #4 If you move all shia to shia neighborhoods and all sunni to sunni neighborhoods you have ethnically cleansed those neighborhoods without killing anyway. Moran is an ass, and he may not mean this, but ethnic cleansing is not necessarily a bad thing as it removes targets from the range of jerk-hole militia hardboys who can't control their homicidal instincts. |

| #3 These guys have really crossed the line. Not only do they give aid and support to the enemy by boosting their moral and providing them with propaganda, they deliberately slander and accuse our troops of crimes against humanity in WARTIME!! I'll say it and I don't care if I get sink trapped. These fuckers need killed. Lined up against a wall and shot for treason. Plain and simple. We are at war, asshats. This isn't a game to score cheap political points. It is time for the government and the citizens of the United States to wake the fuck up and act like it. Bring ass-twats like this up on charges, try them, then fucking shoot or hang them. |

| #2 I wonder which gang of terror-loving Islamo-tools is picking up Moran's liquor tab? Drunken bastard. Shame on him and shame on every pathetic dupe who voted for him. Swine, pigs, all of them; from Teddy the Hutt von Kennedy down to the lowliest vote thief in your yokel precinct. |
