Chris Mathews' Ethics?
On November 15, 2004 Chris Mathews asked a guest this question:
"Well, let me ask you about this. If this were the other side, and we were watching an enemy soldier --a rival, I mean they're not bad guys especially, just people who just disagree with us, they are in fact the insurgents, fighting us in their country-- if we saw one of them do what we saw our guy do to that guy, would we consider that worthy of a war crimes charge?"
Wow. Is any part of this true and accurate? Does Mr. Mathews have a grasp of the facts at all? Could a competent journalist make that many mistakes in one question if they tried?
Let's look at just this question.
First he talks of an "enemy soldier." A soldier wears a uniform. A soldier would not intentionally kill civilians in his own country to create a terrorist's atmosphere to drive out an opposing military. The term soldier DOES NOT APPLY. Chris Mathews appears to realize this as he is stating it and corrects himself . Immediately after the "enemy soldier" he changes to "a rival."
Next he states "...They're not bad guys especially..." I go back to intentionally killing civilians IN HIS OWN COUNTRY to create a terroristic atmosphere to convince his opponent to leave. Not to defeat the enemy, but to break the will OF HIS OWN PEOPLE to cause the enemy to quit. I do not know what Chris Mathews' definition of "BAD" "ESPECIALLY" is but I certainly consider that ESPECIALLY BAD!
He next states that "...they are in fact the insurgents, fighting us in their country..." While most of them are in "their country", Chris completely ignores the FACT that many of them are from other countries simply going to Iraq to spread TERRORISM and DEATH. Has Chris Mathews ever heard of al Zarkowi?
As for the incident, if Chris Mathews were to go to Iraq to help our soldiers with these poor insurgents "...who just disagree with us..." I can guarantee that if Chris saw a fly land on a potentially boobytrapped injured terrorist, he would be calling for air support to blow the entire building off the face of the earth.
Is Chris Mathews uniformed? Is he ignorant of the FACTS? Or does he know the truth and chooses to ignore it when it makes for a sensational story?
Think for yourself!
Make up your own mind!
