These opportunistic, deadly, treasonous scum haven't had any more consequences for their criminality other than having their wrists slapped so far, and it is going to continue be that way forever or until the war-mongering profiteers from both the major political parties, neo-con and neo-lib, are pried loose from the reins of OUR government.
The whole horrendous criminal enterprise in Iraq has been piteously bungled on absolutely every level from the very top in the executive branch to the thousands of clueless poor grunts sacrificed so stupidly. Every complacent person and compliant institution in between is complicit and culpable. The congress, the pentagon, the press, and the people of Amerikka, in whose name the carnage is perpetrated, are guilty of mass and individual murders, torture, numerous rapes of their own fellow employees and countless Iraqi women and children, kidnapping, infrastructure decimation, theft, gross ineptitude, lying, bribery, treason, poisoning, negligence and much, much more mayhem and disgusting war crimes..
The only truly universal motivation or ethic in Amerikkka is cupidity. Greed is the religion that drives the whole debacle. Capitalism is basically greed and exploitation. "Our" vast government and vast corporations are colluding to squander the world's resources, squash the spirit of the people and steal from our children's future to fuel their complete ruination of the planet Earth and their piggish rapacity.
While the American people twist in the dangerous winds of fascism and the "New World Order", the "Homeland Security" Department is eroding our constitutional protections guaranteed by the first ten amendments to our constitution, THE BILL OF RIGHTS. These guarantees are what patriots have died to protect, from our own revolutionary war against the British through the Second World War. Basically these are what protect us from being treated like those citizens of Iran, North Korea, Nazi Germany, Saudi Arabia, etc. This document is our main protection from government enslavement, or it was supposed to be.
The same forces that placed the treasonous contractors above the law is utilizing brand new repressive laws to control and enslave us Americans.
Really!
I wish I was joking or that this was just the corny plot to some scary political monster movie. Tragically we have been sold down the river by our spineless political representatives, our greedy conscienceless corporations and an ignorant, dumbed down populace willing to be bamboozled as long as they can consume profligately and unsustainably.
The present situation cries out for radical, fundamental changes, literally a second American revolution. The need and provocation is as evident today as it was when the original DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE was promulgated in 1776....
.... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...
