But I think I have a few things to say about it. If you look on the reporting of the documents, anyone who has spent a minute in the military will recognize that it&#8217;s all overreaction to absolutely nothing. People die in war normally, don&#8217;t they? And that&#8217;s what all the reporting boils down to &#8211; war is against the good nature of men. Who didn&#8217;t know that? Raise your hands&#8230;one&#8230;two&#8230;Two!<\/p>\n<p>And you know what? We really don&#8217;t know what is in the documents because we&#8217;re just reading about what the hyper-sensitive media thinks about them. Have the rest of us had the time read through the 91,000 documents yet? Remember the last time we heard from Wikileaks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=18556\">they said a Hummer was a tank<\/a>, who knows what the hell they&#8217;ll try to get away with this time.<\/p>\n<p>And, *surprise!*, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2010\/07\/26\/damage-control-leak-afghan-war-docs\/\">John Kerry believes the hype<\/a> without looking at the documents in question;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., though, suggested the release could lead to a change in policy. He said in a written statement that &#8220;however illegally&#8221; the documents were released, they raise &#8220;serious questions&#8221; about U.S. policy toward the region. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those policies are at a critical stage and these documents may very well underscore the stakes and make the calibrations needed to get the policy right more urgent,&#8221; he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I remind you that this douchebag would still be President if he&#8217;d been elected in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>So there&#8217;s really nothing we didn&#8217;t know, minus the hyperventilating media&#8217;s description of the contents of the leaked documents. They&#8217;ve been waiting for this since April, so I&#8217;m sure most of their articles were written long befre they got to glance at the documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sporkmaster scooped me yesterday on the reporting of the new Wikileaks documents.
