Why is nothing happening to the Bush Administration?

Why is nothing going on to prosecute Bush and all his criminal friends? Obama is really starting to let me down. Our country needs to purge these people from our society. We successfully prosecuted all sorts of war criminals after WWII. Right now we are no better than the Nazi or Japanese governments of the past. If we held W and his cronies to the same standards as the Nazis and the Jap Empire they would be on trial trying to save their necks! I have dual citizenship with the UK. I swear if nothing happens to these assholes I will leave this country forever!

Happy Iraq War Anniversary!

This past week had two important anniversaries for me. I got shot on St. Patrick's Day in 2005 (gods sick humor since I am half Scott) and it has been six years since this past March 20th since the Iraq war began. Last year out of frustration I joined Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). IVAW seemed to be very promising at first. A mixed group of Iraq veterans would go speak all over the Midwest at various places of academia about all the injustices occurring in Iraq. It seemed like IVAW could really make a difference in the politics of the war. Last summer I was involved in planning all sorts of local IVAW sponsored events. IVAW really seemed to die down when Obama was elected. I was contacted out of the blue this past week to go to an IVAW march / protest this past weekend. I decided not to attend. The reason why I decided not to attend was that IVAW has been supporting all sorts of non Iraq related bull shit. I am against the war in Iraq for the the reasons that IVAW states on their website, however they have been protesting the Palestinian / Israeli conflict, and protesting the war in Afghanistan. WTF does Palestine have to do with Iraq? It sounds just like Karl Rove linking Sadam to Al Qaeda! I am completely against the war in Iraq, however the war in Afghanistan is legit, even though W mismanaged that war too. I guess the problem with so many of these combat veterans is that they have become pacifists (mostly REMFs. rear echelon mother fuckers), and since IVAW has all of these mixed messages it will never succeed as an organization.

Here is the IVAW link:

Here is a pic of me a day after I got shot and a spall wound WOHOO!

Is ther anything worse than fake heros?

Since the war in Iaq has taken place there have been hundreds of soldiers claiming to be heroes of one kind or another. Her is a douche bag that I served with Staff Sergent Sams. This guy got cut by a speck of metal and he demanded a combat action badge and a purple heart, and he got it. There are so many of these pukes it makes me sick. Here is this fat ass in the hospital after he got scratched. In the picture in the middle is the true hero Sergent Bock who was shot in the arm by an insurgent while on routine patrol. Here is what was left of the insurgent. This idiot decided to start shooting at a gun truck patrol that was just cruising threw. We later found out that this insurgent was on the run from other US forces just south of us. Well at least we dispatched this asshole.

Are private contractors the solution?

Another problem in Iraq and Afghanistan and all global conflicts that the United States is involved in is the use of private security forces to fight our wars. There are many problems with the use of private security. Here are some to name a few:
1. They are paid more than professional soldiers, which is very demoralizing.
2. When they get into trouble the Army and the Marines have to go bail them out.
3. It allows the government to lie about the actual numbers of soldiers fighting on the ground in the combat zone.
4. Private security members are not subject to any laws or regulation, I know of private security people that claimed to have tortured people.

These are just a few of the problems with private security firms operating in a combat zone. Our government needs to pass legislation to ban private contractors from all aspects of combat and military operations. The pentagon claims that contractors save the military money. All I have to say is COMPARED TO WHAT?

the U.S. harbors war criminals and so does Canada...

1. I never tortured anyone in Iraq.
2. I never witnessed the torture of anyone in Iraq.
3. If I would have been placed in such a situation I would have stopped it.

WATCH THIS VIDEO AND THEN READ THE REST OF THIS BLOG.

I got back on this subject because the Canadian government recently allowed George W. Bush to go to Calgary, Canada to spew his filth. Canada signed the Geneva Convention, and also has a law requiring their government to arrest all suspected war criminals within it's borders. SO HOW THE HELL DID THIS GUY GET IN AND THEN OUT OF CANADA? NOBODY HAS A SPINE THESE DAYS. NOBODY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THIS WORLD. Canada I always thought of you as a different place. A place with sanity and decency. Canada you are as just as corrupt as the United States.
