[privateinvestor]

Another member of the Obama team seems to have put his foot in his mouth again..

Crowley resigns for calling the treatment of PFC Bradley Manning "irresponsible." Manning is suspected of leaking classified documents (or cables) to Wikileaks.

Thanks, PI.

I wonder where people like Cowley have been in the past, when for instance the Marines were held in similar conditions for months after now deceased. (RIP), John Murtha ran off at the face over a combat action where two insurgents and one as yet unidentified man was killed. The charge was "cold blooded murder". It took the Justice Department about three years to finally get around to trial, but every single one of the Marines were exonerated in the end. Where was/is the outrage about the way that case was mishandled from the outset?

Where was the outrage when the then Battalion Commander obtained information from a turncoat Iraqi policeman under stress and was summarily sent packing and into retirement?

There was no outrage, that's what.

Those were fighting men, with their lives and the lives of their teams at risk, working under potentially fatal conditions. In fact one of the first group had been killed in the incident. Bradley, on the other hand, was just PO'd at his assignment and there was no danger to him or his surroundings, and none were in the offing, and the damage caused by his release of the documents may take years to measure.

That's the difference. That's all it takes for some liberals to go berserk over the treatment of one of their own.

Good riddance.

Henry....PJ Crowley shot from the hip a lot and interjected his opinions which were contrary to Obama's and his boss Hillary. Obama was asked about this and he backed the military who told him that Pfc Manning was NOT being mistreated in the Quantico Brig by our Marines...

Pfc Manning has been complaining that the Marines don't like him because he is openly Gay and therefore making him strip down at night and wear a hospital gown before going to bed after he is searched ...He also has complained that he spends too much time alone in his cell without a TV or Computer.

So Crowley took up his cause along with other bleeding heart liberals here.. And he and Hillary don't like each other so was dumped.....a guy named Hammer will be his replacement.....that should be interesting another "Hammer"..
