Blackwater Security a Symptom of Private War

Blackwater Security is just a symptom of Bush's private war against anyone who won't give in to him. He (Bush) reminds me of a child on his highchair - having a temper tantrum because the world won't give him exactly what he wants exactly when he wants it.

Cheney is supporting Bush's temper tantrum. The yelling, screaming, kicking, crying - it just goes on and on.

Barbara, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? You raised more than one kid, but this one is a total mess!!! Did your husband walk away because you refused to stop breastfeeding the kid at 24 months???? Did daddy completely give up on the brat???

Sure looks like it!

Now, back to the topic -
Blackwater, Private no-bid contracts, private security services, NO GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT OF EXPENSES OR BEHAVIOR which reflects VERY BADLY on the American People!

Not Just the Government here, folks! Guess what!?! Every time some idiot, fast shooting, short tempered, overpaid, over muscled, under brained, MERCENARY (Let's get real here - that's what they are!) with an AMERICAN passport steps out of line, the USA - the AMERICAN PEOPLE look bad.

Our Soldiers have a code of conduct. And they have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

The private mercenary has no code - he can do whatever he wants to as long as the objective is met. That includes behaving very badly in foreign countries.

Take away their passports - refuse them a country. If they are for hire for who ever will pay, then treat them as men/women without a country. They have no honor, don't rubber stamp it.

Bush's Speech about Iraq

Let's face it - I don't trust him. I don't trust anything he says and I don't believe anything he says.

The "draw down" of troops just means that the troops scheduled to come home (unless he extends the tour of duty again) will be coming home - for a couple of weeks at least.

The military is over extended - not just in Iraq. There's Europe, the Pacific, Antarctic, Arctic, UN forces, and so much more. We are NOT the world's policeman, and I've heard that argument several times before. However, we always seem to get drawn in. Now we have to send folks to Darfur, too. Where are these troops (people, soldiers, individuals, sons and daughters) to come from????

Getting shot at is not a guarantee of a college education. It's better to run up debt and then go into service stateside as a teacher or working with at risk populations here at home. At least your body will remain whole! And your life and blood won't be wasted in a desert on the other side of the world for people who don't want us there in the first place.

The political problems of Iraq are not our problems. Yeah, if Bush hadn't stepped in, the discussions and problem would never have been in the first place, but hey - THEY NEED TO GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND WORK FOR PEACE IN THEIR COUNTRY THEMSELVES. It's not our job.

Been Dealing -

There are lots of things I've wanted to write about - Blog about - recently. I have been unable to sit at the computer long enough to do so.

Boy! Do I NEED a laptop!

I've been ill, and worse, in a lot of pain. I fell again yesterday - have a beautiful purple bruise on my upper arm.

I've been yelling at the radio. Patraeus is saying nothing. Nada. Zilch. He's a Bush cronie.

Right now, I'm mostly angry about the way the war in Iraq has been privatized. At 3750 dead Americans, who knows how many Iraqis and add the other nation's dead and damaged. Then, the kicker, the "secret" injuries and dead of the private armies of "security" for all of Cheney's cronies. All those companies that swarmed over Iraq to "rebuild" it (and fill their pockets).

I watched "The Aviator" recently, and according to the movie, Howard Hughes got called before a Senate Subcommittee for $43 million. How much has been squandered in this war???
