You know that I am thinking that after all the reports of the murders and rape committed by.........
Blackwater and the troops in Iraq has not ratcheted up the hate for the USA and the troops in Iraq - well those people must be mellowed out on drugs or something. There was a video I saw where these guys in a tank found some Iraqis stealing wood so they decided it was their job to act all tough and shoot up their car and when they thought that was not good enough, they took the tank and ran over the car and laughed like some kind of US assholes. The car happened to be the sole source of income for one of the Iraqi men as it was used as a taxi. Remember the videos of the some guys driving down the road and shooting up the cars coming up behind them for no reason and even the military said it was wrong but of course they could not determine who those murderers were. Remember that wounded Iraqi that was shot and crawling away and some soldier then shot and killed him? I think that was on CNN or maybe MSNBC. That is against the Geneva Convention also. That young marine committed an illegal execution that day. Remember the video of the soldier taunting the young Iraq kid with a bottle of water like he would give it to him and the kid chases the truck for blocks as the soldiers laugh their asses off at him and others that joined the chase? Remember the soldiers that threw a handcuffed Iraq prisoner in the river to drown? Remember the soldiers shooting up cars at a check point and murdering men, women, children, and babies because when the sign we use for stop actually means come to the Iraq people? This is not acceptable. Remember that Blackwater Detail that shot up that square in Iraq murdering men, women and babies merely because they heard an explosion in a war zone? Remember that Condi said that they would keep using the baby killers of Blackwater because they had a binding contract with them? Remember the Blackwater goon that was drunk and killed an Iraq security guard and was flown out of Iraq soon after and has never been prosecutor for murder? Remember Green and the other marines killing a girls family before raping her? Can you imagine the horror? Can you Imagine the Horror of being that 14 year old girl being raped once and again and again and again? What kind of monsters are we now? The kind that should be hated maybe. Can you tell me why these soldiers that murdered that family and then felt the need to rape a 14 year old girl that knows her family was just murdered - can you tell me why any of those murdering scum should walk as free men. Yet some will and then it will be known in Iraq and the USA will be hated for it? Do you wonder if those shits that helped cover up the murder and rape should walk free. I could not live with myself so maybe the ones that are guilty will do the right thing. But I wonder if Cheney ever told anyone with BlackWater or the military that these acts cause us to be less safe and would cause more attacks against our troops in the field?

Remember that there have been approximately 1 million Iraqis killed in this war and about 5 million fefugees fleeing the country because life there is unbearable. Remember that Bush had orders not to count the civilian casualties in Iraq? Remeber the weddings that were shot up killing civilians for no reason? Remeber the high handed forced entry of homes and the murders of the civilian families for no reason? And Remember that Bush tried to hide a pardon for any and all crimes that he and the high level members of his regime may have committed.

Dayum if these people haven't reached their maximum level of hate for the US already then they must be the most mellow people ever. But who knows what new atrocities may be revealed tomorrow.

3. I thought Obamas decision not to release the photos
asinine to say the least as if the Iraqis not to mention the rest of the world won't know, not releasing them only adds to the fire what were they drawing and quartering Iraqis? There should be war crimes trials for those involved-all of them
