Soldiers Laugh At Death Of Iraqi Civilians

A disturbing video has leaked to the press showing U.S. soldiers in Iraq, laughing while shooting at civilians, as they kill them from a helicopter using military weaponry. A soldier is heard saying, "Light em all up. Come on, fire!"

A second soldier is heard responding, "Ha, ha, I hit'em." While a third soldier states in response to the murdered civilians, "Look at those dead basta*ds."

President Obama

Further proof the war needs to end. President Obama cannot justify what is happening in Iraq, by seeking to continue what former President Bush started, as the conflict and bloodshed, especially where civilians are concerned, is terrible.

'Ha ha, I hit 'em': Top secret video showing U.S. helicopter pilots gunning down 12 civilians in Baghdad attack leaked online

Last updated at 9:19 AM on 07th April 2010 - A secret video leaked on to the internet shows American soldiers laughing as a helicopter strike kills around a dozen civilians in Baghdad.

In the 17-minute black-and-white footage from an Apache helicopter gunsight, the crew can be heard discussing the carnage as if they were playing a video war game.

Before one attack on a group of men, a voice is also heard saying: 'Light em all up. Come on, fire!' One soldier can even be heard shouting: 'Ha, ha, I hit 'em.' Another says: 'Look at those dead b******s.'

U.K. Election Set For May 6, 2010

The Queen of England has been formally asked to dissolve the current British Parliament, which is a precursor for the national elections. The main battle for Prime Minister shall be between incumbent Labour Party chief, Gordon Brown and Conservative Tory party head, David Cameron.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown

The Tony Blair years were not particularly kind to Britain or the Labour Party, due to the war in Iraq, former U.S. President, George W. Bush, roped the country's main ally across the pond into and was later accompanied by a terrible financial crisis that began in America and spread to the United Kingdom, then eventually most of the globe.

Britons do seem hopefully for positive change in their nation and the May elections shall furnish them with the opportunity to make that a reality. Britain needs swift reparative measures to mend the financial and social damage of the past decade.

David Cameron and wife Samantha

Exorbitant benefits draining tax dollars to the tune of billions, need to be reduced, as singular households enjoying loopholes in the system, should not be clearing more money in government assistance, than doctors and lawyers earn at their respective places of employment. Exports need to be increased as well. Industrialization isn't such a bad thing, contrary to what some would have the world believe.

U.S. Government Should Desist Issuing World Reports

It's Not Helping International Relations

U.S. President Obama

The United States government should desist issuing yearly world reports condemning, chastising and criticizing other nations, for perceived faults, when there is trouble at home (i.e. U.S. State Department Human Rights report).

Thus far, France, China, Haiti and Jamaica, to name a few, have taken exception to U.S. Senate and C.I.A. world reports, issued and published about many nations of the world, as the assessments have been blatantly offensive, one-sided and in some cases, degrading.

At a time when the world blames the U.S. government for the global financial crisis that began on Wall Street and for the wars in the Middle East, namely the Iraqi conflict, it is not helpful or conducive to goodwill that Washington continues to issue these scathing reports on every nation in the world.

Each nation is responsible for itself, within its own sovereignty and does not like formally being painted in a very unflattering light by another nation. No nation is perfect, as each one has problems. No nation should issue such yearly reports, as it does not help global harmony. It is also endangering innocent Americans when they travel abroad.

If the U.S. Government wishes to continue compiling said reports, it should remain in-house for personal government use, not public consumption, as it is causing worldwide offense.

For example, last week China took offense at the U.S. government's report publicly criticizing and condemning human rights violations in their country and labeled Washington hypocritical, as human rights abuses exist in America as well.

This week, the President of Haiti, Rene Preval, was clearly disappointed and stunned by the U.S. State Department's Human Rights report, which stated, "Corruption is widespread in all … levels of government in Haiti." Preval labeled the report "arrogant" and "arbitrary" stating it, "Threatened to sour Haiti's ties with its main relief partner as the Caribbean state's government and foreign donors drafted a plan for the country's recovery and long-term reconstruction."

Considering Haiti was just devastated by an earthquake, the scathing U.S. State Department report was released at a very tough time for them and was taken to heart. They really did not need it right now.

Regarding Jamaica, Obama and his Department of Justice, headed his appointed Attorney General, Eric Holder, slammed the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, regarding the extradition request of an alleged Jamaican drug dealer, Christopher Michael Coke.

The extradition request has been pending for a few months and Obama's Administration slammed the Jamaican government in a well publicized world report, using its news agency, the Associated Press, flat out stating Coke has ties to the Jamaican Prime Minister, who comes from his constituency and that's why the extradition was not processed immediately.

The incumbent administration in Jamaica stated, they have processed many U.S. extradition requests, but the U.S. government violated Jamaican wiretap laws in obtaining evidence they submitted with the extradition demand. In short, the U.S. Department of Justice, who has no legal mandate to be acting in any capacity as law enforcement in Jamaica, bypassed the Jamaican government and wiretapped a citizen located in Jamaica, in violation of domestic laws.

Technically, in the average foreign court of law, in many nations of the world, if you did not go through the proper local legal channels of government, in the country the subject you wish to be extradited is located, via obtaining a proper request/warrant in that nation to engage wiretaps against one of their citizens, said wiretap evidence is not admissible in the foreign court of law that you are asking to extradite the person, as it would be deemed, one violated the laws of the local country to obtain it.

But back to the report regarding the Jamaican Prime Minister. What if a foreign government compiled and published a formal report, stating President Obama has ties to criminals in his former constituency of Chicago, Illinois, with one of them that is now incarcerated on unrelated felony charges, having previously helped Obama to purchase a mansion in a rich district, via a real estate deal many have labeled mortgage fraud (this has been written about in the U.S. press and blogosphere). Obama would hit the roof if someone put that in a formal international report.

What if a foreign government authored a formal world report stating President Obama's birth certificate lacks the official seal for the American state it is said to be issued from, thus he is in violation of the Constitution and has not met the eligibility requirements to be President of the United States. Once again, Obama would hit the roof.

Back to my point, publicizing these annual world reports are not doing anything to promote world peace. It is making foreign heads of state and their corresponding governments angry, offended and in some cases, uncooperative.

In closing, to be clear, the Judiciary Report is for law and order, justice within the scope of the law, legal penalties for criminals, human rights, civil liberties and world peace.

Gordon Brown Expresses Regret Over Iraq War

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown

Today, British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, took an opposing position to former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, during the ongoing Iraq War inquiry held in London, England.

Brown showed some contrition and apologized to the families of British soldiers and Iraqi civilians for the loss of life during the war, rather than proudly proclaiming the illegal conflict as wholly appropriate, as Blair did several weeks ago before the committee.

However, he did defend the war as the right decision, which in the Judiciary Report's opinion, it was not. Key facts were withheld from the public, by the Bush Administration, which would have revealed the war to be illegitimate and illegal.

Brown's regrets will mildly help to break the domestic and international ice, concerning public reaction to the war the British people overwhelmingly did not want.

Brown blames U.S. for Iraq chaos

Posted 06:41 PM ET - British PM Gordon Brown insisted Fri. that the decision to invade Iraq was justified, but told a major inquiry into the war that the U.S. dismissed warnings of chaos and violence once Saddam Hussein was toppled. In giving 4 hours of evidence to Britain's inquiry on Iraq, a somber Brown, who was Treasury chief from '97 to '07, expressed regret over the lost lives, and acknowledged mistakes were made by leaders in Washington and London.

Iraqi Christians Protest Murders

Christians in Iraq protest

Iraqi Christians have come out in droves to protest the murders of their brothers and sisters in the faith, in the war torn Middle Eastern country.

Muslims have murdered Christians in Iraq, in senseless acts of violence, which does not help their case in the world. May the Christians of Iraq remain peaceful and strong in the faith, knowing that God will give them their reward in heaven. God bless you.

Iraqi Christians protest slayings, Pope concerned

Sun Feb 28, 2010 12:47pm EST

MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 1,000 minority Christians, many holding olive branches, marched in protest near the restive city of Mosul on Sunday to urge the Iraqi government to act decisively after a series of killings.

At least eight Christians have been killed in the last two weeks in the turbulent northern city, 390 km (250 miles) north of Baghdad, prompting Pope Benedict to appeal on Sunday for Iraq's Christians to be better protected.

Two of those attacked had gone missing, their bodies later found dumped in the street with gunshot wounds. Others were shot dead in the street, near their homes, or at their place of work.

Some 683 Christian families, or 4,098 people, fled Mosul between February 20 and 27 following the attacks, a United Nations report said on Sunday.

The murders came just weeks before Iraq's March 7 parliamentary election, which has the potential to help cement an end to seven years of war or plunge a still-divided country into a new cycle of violence.

"I appeal to the civil authorities to complete every effort to give security again to the population, and in particular, to the most vulnerable religious minorities," the Pope said in his weekly blessing from Vatican City.

Priests in religious vestments led the protest procession in the Christian town of Hamdaniya, 40 km (25 miles) east of Mosul.

"The blood of innocents screams for terrorism and violence to be stopped," read one banner.

Sunni Islamist insurgents such as al Qaeda have long targeted Christians, Yazidis, Shabaks, and other Iraqi minorities, as well as majority Shi'ites, whom they consider heretics. Christians number an estimated 750,000 in Iraq, a small minority in a country of 28 million...

Monster Mosque Planned For Lot Adjoining British Military Facility Sandhurst

Sandhurst

The British government has its hands full today, as it was announced there are plans for a massive mosque on a lot adjoining the famed Sandhurt military academy in England. They've been granted planning permission by the local building council. This is like an insane game of chess.

Tens of thousands of British soldiers have been trained at Sandhurst over the years, which was opened in the early 1800's and installed at its current location in 1947. I’d hate to see it get blown to smithereens, due to Jihadists.

Sandhurst

While, this article is not against Muslims who are non-violent, it is undeniable, based on fact, via many cases around the world, there are numerous strains of the religion that believe in Jihad as a way of life and spend every day plotting ways to kill scores of innocent people, in the name of Islam, believing it to be martyrdom, when it is suicide and murder.

Nidal Malik Hasan

Specifically, there are also army cases pointing to the dangers of Islamic radicalization at or near military installations. In 2009, U.S. major, Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 at U.S. base, Fort Hood, in an act of terrorism. In 2009, there was a suicide bombing against the CIA on a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, which left 8 dead. In 2003, U.S. Muslim soldier, Hasan Karim Akbar, opened fire on fellow soldiers in Iraq, resulting in fatalities and injuries. In 2009, an American born Muslim convert, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, murdered five fellow soldiers on a U.S. base. Recently, there was a reported attempt by U.S. Muslim soldiers at water poisoning in a U.S. base.

In 2003, Hasan Karim Akbar, an America born, Muslim convert in the U.S. military, attacked his own squad in Iraq, resulting in fatalities

One must not be naïve about the precedents that have been set. Therefore, it is not a good idea that a mosque, especially one of that size, be built so close to Sandhurst in Britain.

In 2009, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad A/K/A Carlos Bledsoe, who is an American born soldier, opened fire on his U.S. military squad, killing five people

It would call for expensive additional staff and equipment, to surveil the mosque 24/7, to ensure no radicalization takes place, posing a Jihadi threat to the academy. British taxpayers cannot afford the extra costs, which would total millions of pounds per year, especially during the current economic climate.

The West is caught between a rock and a hard place, as the phrase goes, regarding Muslim soldiers, some of whom have divided loyalties.

Dick Cheney: Obama Is A One Term President

Obama: peace, cousin Cheney

Former U.S. Vice President, Dick Cheney, proclaimed yesterday that White House incumbent, Barack Obama "is a one term President."

He took a number of jabs at Obama and proclaimed the current political conditions are so go against the rival party, he would even run for President, but will not. Thankfully. Furthermore, he'd lose, as people are still angry over the war.

Obama's poll numbers and public dissatisfaction is as such that he is harming his Democratic Party's chance for reelection. He needs to change direction, if they are to be reelected.

Side Bar: Why does this Negro, I mean dude, always look so angry in his photos:

Then, when he does manage to smile it looks crooked:

'Run, Cheney, Run' chants at conservative gathering

Feb 18, 2010 01:32 PM - Liz Cheney brought a surprise guest to her speech at CPAC today: Her father.

Former vice president Dick Cheney, who wasn't expected to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, appeared on stage to broad cheers and a few chants of "Run, Cheney, Run" after his daughter had delivered her scheduled remarks. He said jokingly that his daughter said he could come along "but I had to be arm candy."

When someone in the crowd shouted "Cheney 2012," he shot back, "Knock it off." "A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office again," he said, then let applause rise before he added, "But I'm not a-gonna do it."...

"The sky's the limit here," he said. "I think 2010 is gong to be a phenomenal year for the conservative cause. And I think Barack Obama is a one-term president." That got a big response, too.

Hollywood Influence Tanking Obama Presidency

President Barack Obama

This is a follow up to the February 15. 2010 article Obama Talks About Being A One Term President. The next day on February 16. 2010, CNN conducted a poll, which revealed 52% of Americans believe U.S. President, Barack Obama, does not deserve a second term in office. This does not bode well for him at all, as more people think he should not be reelected, than those who think he should be.

His Hollywood style of governing, coupled with terribly poor choices from overspending to legal violations by the FBI and DOJ, are tanking his presidency in one year flat. He needs to correct this, as no one believes an incumbent does not want a second term.

On his current path, he is going to spend the federal government into bankruptcy, if this does not desist. There will be no money for federal agencies and America will be rendered completely weakened and in mass poverty.

This Hollywood styled presidency of spend, spend, spend is going to financially break the U.S. government, as any historian knows, no empire ever survived widespread reckless spending, intact. It always comes at a price.

Clearly, some failed to learn from former President George W. Bush, who spent, spent, spent on a reckless, deceitful war, whose objective was to steal the greatest known oil reserves in the world in Iraq. Former Vice President, Dick Cheney, even admitted it. So did Bush, claiming, "The oil would pay for the war." It ended in the terrible financial collapse of 2008 and said administration leaving office in utter disgrace.

The American people deserve better than that. For every person in America that goes to work honestly each work week and pays their taxes, they do not deserve for poor leadership to destroy all they’ve worked for, eroding the country with wantonly bad choices.

CNN poll: 52% say Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012

By Michael O'Brien - 02/16/10 01:35 PM ET - 52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.

44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.

Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.

Dick Cheney Creates More Ill Will

Video: Biden and Cheney's War of Words

Former Vice President Dick Cheney came out of retirement again and drew more ill will for the U.S. government at home and abroad, by proclaiming he is for torture, with a particular fondness for waterboarding, which simulates drowning. He also stated Obama should be thankful to George W. Bush for the Iraq war, which is astonishing and appalling, showing a great lack of respect and repentance, as over 1 million people have died as a result of their lies. Vice President Cheney has rebuked him for these statements.

These constant misconceived quotes are doing nothing for the government's name, as torture is internationally illegal. Repeatedly coming forth and touting illegal criminal activity, under the guise of national security, is sowing additional seeds of mistrust and disgust. Torture is criminal, as is terrorism, therefore it puts you in the same class as terrorists.

Cheney: Biden should give credit for Iraq to Bush

Feb 14, 12:36 PM (ET) - WASHINGTON (AP) - When Vice President Joe Biden says Iraq war may turn out to be one of President Barack Obama's greatest achievements, Dick Cheney wants credit where he says it's due: the Bush administration.

"If they're going to take credit for it, fair enough, for what they've done while they're there," Cheney said Sunday. "But it ought to go with a healthy dose of 'thank you, George Bush' up front and a recognition that some of their early recommendations, with respect to prosecuting that war, were just dead wrong."...

Biden, appearing on Sunday news shows, said he believes Obama has managed the war in Iraq "very well" since taking office a year ago. He said, however, that he doesn't believe the war was worth the "horrible price" in lives lost and the initial mismanagement of the war by Bush.

"We took our eye off the ball, putting us in a much different and more dangerous position in Afghanistan. We lost support around the world. It's taken a lot of hard work to get it back. But we were handed - we were dealt a hand, and I think we're handling it incredibly well," Biden said...
