#1 "In Arab and Muslim societies, pride and shame are felt much more profoundly than they are in Western culture,"

Except that their values are screwed up upside down. E.g., honour killing where there's no honor palpable in such - none by by the measure of the Golden Rule wrt human civilization understood by all other civilized nations.

It's their excessive indulgent narcissistic distortion of shame and pride. Something that is also unappeasable.

#2 But it's "Every silver lining has a cloud"©

But it somehow doesn't seem to quite cover the NYT point of view....

More like "Every silver lining was made from precious minerals stolen from Mother Earth by overworked, underpaid, abused wage slaves to line the pockets of the rich, fat-cat capitalists starting with Cheney-Halliburton and oiloiloil"

Somebody here can do better than that!

#3 Schizophrenics feel paranoia more deeply than normal people therefore we should indulge their fantasies and not let reality intrude because it might further upset them.

#4 well in reality most arabs or middle easy=terners wouldn't have known that it was an older version of the weapon and it hw difficult it is too use if the asswipes had kept their mouths shut.Since when do ex soldiers and active ones have too open their mouiths too help the enemy when their friends are over there still fighting?

#6 I said yesterday fuck the NYT and these idiots commenting on their behalf. I'd poke fun at zarki all day on Arab t.v. and send these tapes right to Al Jizz. I'd also show every sheik in the al anbar this tape. Nick Pratt, you asshole, you ought to know better.

"The weapon in question is complicated to master, and American soldiers and marines undergo many days of training to achieve the most basic competence with it."

-that is bullshit. Besides cleaining the damn thing and remembering to keep your palm to the sky when pulling the charging handle it's actually a pretty easy weapon to operate.

God! Why do you put so many assholes on the planet at the same time?!

#7 My beloved father, dead these past several years, used to say:

The trouble with the world is that there are more horses asses than there are horses.

Stuck with me, as he almost never used strong language of any kind.
