Just another way this war is affecting us. If they are acting like this over here, what do you think they were doing and saw over there?

I support our troops but I personally know cases and soldiers who have gone way too far. Some can be attributed to the soldiers themselves, a lot can be attributed to leadership and political entities intruding in the scope of our soldiers work. The commands for brutal treatment has come from high up, the troops are following orders, and while most troops will hate it. Some will enjoy it and continue. The Bush Administration has created an environment of Brutality and our troops and Country as a whole are getting sucked into it.

You can see this in another way by looking at the recent attack ads against Obama and Democrats by Republicans. Brutality whether through ads, rumors, actions or speech is rampant. This is a huge problem and the only way it will stop is if the American people stand up and say,

This is not what our Country is about...

I guess this kills McCains line against Obama about pulling out and losing the war...

Troop Deployments Start In Atlanta

Well US troops are patrolling the streets of some of our cities. They are in Atlanta most likely because of the gas issues. I think its down right scary. Which leads me to another bit of news I have heard.



It seems some lawmakers are privately revealing that during the vote for the bailout bill, lawmakers were told that if they did not vote for the bailout; then the Government would of had to call into effect Marshal Law. Suspend markets and the Constitution and most likely Elections. I think it was not by accident that this deployment of troops on our streets is happening during this crisis. The Bush Administration knew we were going down months ago and I'm sure they planned and are planning for a possible foray into Marshal Law. We should all be very afraid of this and how easily the Government in the wrong hands can take away your freedoms in a heartbeat. With nothing that you can do about it legally or otherwise.



So let's go over that. Lawmakers were told by Bush officials, vote for the Bailout or Marshal Law will have to be imposed. Troops deployed on American streets to guard against 'uprisings'. That is no good. I'm sure some googling will get you some more info and points of view. This is something to take seriously though. It is too much of a coincidence, or at least that's what I think.

Satellite Imagery Casts Doubt On Surge's Success in Baghdad

http://m.usatoday.com/detail.jsp?key=900614

The surge was only about getting the amount of troops that should of been there in the first place, into Iraq. We went there in the beginning without enough troops there. The Surge was only making up for their mistake. They still haven't gotten the political goals taken care of. Bottom line as long as our troops are there, there will be violence. The majority do not want us there, and that is the Straight Talk...

Because of John McCain this was

John McCain Admits Troops Sent To Die In Iraq For Oil

Listen to his stump speech, he states no more troops will be sent to foreign lands for oil. We will get our oil here by drilling.

No more troops will be sent to die in the middle east for oil.

That is what McCain says in making his case for drilling.

He admits our troops are over there dying for oil, and he wants to still keep them there?

I guess maybe he thought no one would notice.

Well I hope America notices. Because if John McCain is elected, our troops will die in more foreign countries in pursuit of oil. Bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran? Remember that one?

Like John McCain said in his speech at St. Paul. Sometimes I pick fights for fun.

John MccCain everyone.

Al-Maliki Criticizes U.S. Demands to Stay in Iraq
Iraqi Prime Minister Says Security Talks at Impasse

BAGHDAD, June 13 -- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Friday denounced demands made by the United States to extend the presence of American troops in Iraq, saying that the two sides are deadlocked and far from reaching an agreement.

"We found out that the demands of the American side are strongly violating the sovereignty of Iraq, something we could never accept," Maliki said.

Speaking during a visit to Amman, Maliki for the first time added his voice to the growing chorus of senior Iraqi politicians opposed to U.S. proposals for a status of forces agreement, which would authorize the presence of American troops, and a long-term strategic agreement between the two countries. He said the drafts presented by the American side were unacceptable, but that both parties would continue to work toward a deal.

"The initial drafts that were presented have reached a dead end," Maliki said.

But Maliki specifically rejected two positions that American officials have signaled are nonnegotiable. He said the Iraqis expected the United States to commit to protecting Iraq from foreign aggression, and he ruled out allowing Americans to be immune from prosecution in Iraqi courts.

The Bush administration has said it cannot promise to protect Iraq from foreign aggression without submitting such a commitment to Congress for approval, a step the White House does not wish to take.

The United States initially demanded that both American troops and private contractors be granted immunity, but over the past week Washington has softened its position and dropped its demand for immunity for contractors. Maliki, however, said that was an unacceptable compromise.

"We could not give amnesty to a soldier carrying arms on our ground," he said. "We will never give it."

The United Nations mandate that authorizes the presence of American troops in Iraq is due to expire on Dec. 31, and the U.S. and Iraqi governments are working toward a bilateral agreement to allow American troops to remain.

Although Iraqi politicians have becoming increasingly angered by U.S. demands during the talks, top American officials have insisted that an agreement could be reached by their established deadline at the end of July.

Yet Maliki appeared to dismiss such talk as far too optimistic.

"I am astonished by those who are talking about how close the agreement is to be signed," Maliki said.
