Why not? They must face charges. Their crime is war crime and it should be judged and punished as every hard crime. How do these US people see it? They think that they can invade innocent country and kill there innocent people in every time dependent on their mad, ruthless will.

No Copyright – OK to Repost Any or All

The Republicans aren’t doing so well lately.
What could be wrong? Maybe...

The economy going in to the toilet...$3.80+ for gasoline... TWO BOTCHED WARS, giving our troops tanks without much armor, providing substandard treatment in VA hospitals, making the U.S. a country that’s known around the world for TORTURING PEOPLE, then lying about it, doing NEARLY NOTHING ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, preaching on morals, then getting caught having sex in airport bathrooms.

Bush and McCain (McBUSH) have earned the new nickname, "REPUGnicans".

Of course they need private contractors, that is the only safe way for the adminisration to filter milions and millions back into their pockets. Look at Cheney's Halliburton, $6 for each can of Coke served to anybody over there,$99 per one load of laundry,$6000 and up per vehicle, per month for vehicls that are being leased from other politically tied companies,salaries for cooks and laundry personel that rival salaries of company executives.This list goes on and on, do a search for military contractors and you will see why our country is going broke and the administration does not seem to care, they will walk away after their terms quite wealthy.
