Obama to Appeal Dismissal of Blackwater Case
"The United States is determined to hold to account anyone who commits crimes against Iraqi people...While we fully respect the independence and the integrity of the US judicial system, we were disappointed with the judge's decision to dismiss the indictment, which was based on the way some evidence had been acquired."

Gonna let this slide, gonna hold that one accountable. Bipolar approach sorta futile.

3. my take on it also
Looking to see what it's gonna cost to get us to STFU for a few weeks.

Personally, I am too old for dancing in the street for scraps tossed to us rabble.

5. If Iraq were OK with it, Obama would be too. But they're PISSED. So he must pretend he gives a shit.

7. Nah, I think MA special election has WH looking to refresh their image
That bit Jon Stewart did about Brown becoming president probably hit a nerve. Those savvy politicos may have seen the truth to a potential threat.

4. Sadly,
this may be an honest effort; however, we are all so very wary. I only wish the VERY best for MY President but actions speak so much louder than words.

6. Good for the President..they've done a lot for
us and our country over the last year. Too many on this board would rather whine about everything.
