No, that's not a false question: Manning leaked hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks, documents that contained information about our actions in Afghanistan, including the people who worked with us.
You think the Taliban didn't scoop that information up?
You think the Taliban didn't act on that information?
Do you really think the people who torture and murder innocent children in order to control their parents as a matter of strategy, didn't take that information and hunt down the people who spoke with or worked with with the US military?
HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF BRADLEY MANNING?
So while the ProgNazis of the Left get their panties moist at the very sight of Manning, and wail about how he's innocent, just ask yourself that one question. How many deaths is he responsible for, both Afghani deaths at the hands of the Taliban who used his leaked info, and American deaths caused because the people who used to give us intel on Taliban movements either would not or could not give us any more. Chances are we'll never know the true death toll. But don't bullshit yourself into thinking that toll doesn't exist.
If he spends the rest of his life at Ft. Leavenworth breaking big rocks into little rocks, that punishment will only be a a fraction of what he deserves.
Manning deserves to break rocks until HE is broken, yes, but do not for a minute think he was anything but a simple tool. His handler was Assange, who the Left has protected forever. Assange needs to have a rendition happen, and when we connect all the dots with the info that Assange has in HIS head, then, and only then, can we make a dent in the Left's evil machine.
ReplyDeleteAnd Assange was funded by the Russians, who benefited greatly from US secrets being spilled.
ReplyDeleteThe point in this is to give folks something to push back against the Left when they shriek about Manning being "innocent" for some bullshit reason or another. Ask Manning supporters if they care about the Afghans who died because of what Manning did. Ask them if they support those people who are murdered and tortured by the Taliban, or if they support the murderers and torturers.
Manning gave support to the people who murder and torture innocent civilians. And if that's who the Left wants to support, then I say we bludgeon them with that fact.
