Beck: Supporters of Dems' Iraq bill "will be just as responsible" for troop deaths as suicide bombers

On the March 8 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck issued the following warning to members of Congress who support the Democratic leaders' plan to set a date certain for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq: "If your bill goes through, I hope you can't go to bed any single night without the images of body bags of our American soldiers coming off those planes. I hope they dance in your head every single night, because you will be just as responsible for their deaths as anyone who has ever strapped a bomb to their chest and screamed, 'Allah Akbar.' "

From the March 8 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck:

BECK: The blood of our troops will be on the hands of Congress soon. Here's how I got there. The Democratic Party leaders are proposing a new bill, which calls for bringing the troops home from Iraq by early next year, then removing whatever troops remain by October 2008.

<...>

BECK: Here's what I don't know. How do these people in Congress, Democrats and Republicans, who want to have it both ways, how do you sleep at night? How do you do it?

If your bill goes through, I hope you can't go to bed any single night without the images of body bags of our American soldiers coming off those planes. I hope they dance in your head every single night, because you will be just as responsible for their deaths as anyone who has ever strapped a bomb to their chest and screamed, "Allah Akbar."

1. Yes, and if we pull out of VietNam, the whole area will become Communist —

even Japan! It'll all fall like dominoes!

:evilgrin:

2. Oh, no. The sole responsibility for soldier's deaths rest with Beck, and

with the other supporters of this meat-grinder. Why would they ever think otherwise?

3. Another brilliant military strategist steps forth

and offers his two cents worth from the safe haven of behind his microphone. Tell us about how you served your country glen? Were you and sean in the same unit? Did you run across rush in the first gulf war?

4. Oh, I thought he was going to say '... as responsible as Bush'!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

5. What images of body bags of American soldiers coming off planes?

Bush hasn't allowed a single such image in 4 years.

6. Beck, have you tried the new Chickenhawk platter with a little ignorance on the side...

Piss off, Beck.
