Can someone propose a war crimes law for private contractors? |
|
Althought the primary reason the Bushies love to use them is to fill their friends pockets, a secondary benefit is these guys aren't accountable under the UCMJ.
We should have a law that these parasites can be tried here for crimes they commit overseas on the taxpayer dime or if they don't work directly for the government for crimes they commit in our war zone or occuppied territory.
We need to cut off the blood flow to that tumor before the next war, preferably before this one is even over.

3. do you sometimes wonder if the whole thing is not planned |
|
from the word's we're speaking, as much as it was predictable to uz 6 years ago that we'd be in this tizzy today, mucked up in a bush-war, but that the rise of the bushishtas was itself planned decades before in media agreement, far earlier than one would expect, as just too damn much of this is coincidence, who wrote the script and i ain't buyin' god.

7. i'll believe that when i see it. |
|
Are they planning to end the drugs war?
Do they realize how bad the script is, are they planning to replace 'free trade' with managed trade, and return from the brink of this globalist abyss of invasive mammon?
I hear the people want a change, good, but what change is that?

4. Do mercenaries enjoy the sovereign immunity of their master's state? |
|
Just wondering. Seems like they are just the equivalent of thugs, gangsters and terrorists if they aren't dressed in the military uniform of the nation whom they serve.
