"WASHINGTON – A federal judge dismissed all charges Thursday against five Blackwater Worldwide security guards accused of killing unarmed Iraqi civilians on a crowded Baghdad street in 2007.

U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina said Justice Department prosecutors improperly built their case on sworn statements that had been given under a promise of immunity. Urbina said the government's explanations were "contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility.""

Judge Urbina was appointed to the United States District Court by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

Blackwater should be banned from any gov't contracts for the next 20 years. They caused so many problems downrange, I don't even know where to start.

Though I may be biased in the matter, Blackwater is not a saint but they have done excellent work and have never lost an asset under protection!
That being said, through rebuilding their brand, they will be able to pull through and continue their work in progress and fulfill their assignments.

One has to understand that terrorists use civilians as cover for their evil deeds so the response at the time appeared to be appropriate.

Bullcrap. They roll into an area spraying bullets, ruining months of nonlethal work there and generally disrespecting US, Iraqi, and allied forces. And yes, they HAVE lost assets, not that they'll ever admit it.

They are not good people, and having been in the same AO as them, I'd say they do far more harm than good.

this is great news!!! now when martial law is declared and they have to hire private security contractors to help enforce it(because all our troops are overseas fighting ghosts), it's gonna be people like this that can get away with beatings, rapings, and murder... good god i love this country. :rolleyes:

blackwater lost most of their contracts. I doubt this company is going to withstand another quarter. Their biggest contracts went to other companies like triple canopy and smaller subcontractors. b!tch all you want but i doubt they'll be around much longer and if they are they will probably be enrolled in legal battles which will cost them most of what they have left.

From CNN...

Iraq to sue ex-Blackwater guards:

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq said Friday that it will file a lawsuit against five Blackwater security guards cleared of manslaughter charges in the 2007 killing of 17 Iraqi civilians, an act a government official called murder.

The Iraqi government also will ask the U.S. Justice Department to appeal a federal judge's "unfair and unacceptable" dismissal of the charges Thursday, spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said.

An Iraqi man wounded in the 2007 incident also voiced his anger Friday, saying U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina's dismissal of the charges showed "disregard for Iraqi blood."

Urbina found Thursday that prosecutors wrongly used the guards' own statements against them.

"We were expecting that American justice system is fair and independent," said Hassan Jaber Salman, a lawyer. "It's clear that the justice system in America is unjust and unfair."

Al-Dabbagh said "investigations carried out by specialized Iraqi authorities unequivocally found that the Blackwater guards committed murder and broke use-of-force rules when there was no threat requiring the use of force."

The September 16, 2007, bloodbath in Baghdad's Nusour Square, which also left two dozen wounded, led Iraq's government to place limits on security contractors hired by Blackwater and other contractors. Blackwater has since changed its name to Xe.

The Blackwater employees were guarding a State Department convoy in western Baghdad when the shooting began. The company said its contractors came under attack, but Iraqi authorities called the gunfire unprovoked and indiscriminate.

Urbina found that the government's case was built largely on "statements compelled under a threat of job loss" during a State Department investigation of the shootings, violating the Fifth Amendment rights of the five men charged.

"In their zeal to bring charges against the defendant in this case, the prosecutors and investigators aggressively sought out statements the defendants had been compelled to make to government investigators in the immediate aftermath of the shooting and in the subsequent investigation," Urbina wrote in a 90-page decision.

Federal prosecutors "repeatedly disregarded the warnings of experienced, senior prosecutors assigned to the case," the judge said.

In the ruling, which followed three weeks of hearings, Urbina said the explanations prosecutors and federal agents offered for using the guards' statements were "all too often contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility."

"In short, the government has utterly failed to prove that it made no impermissible use of the defendants' statements or that such use was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt," he wrote.

There was no immediate response to the decision from the Justice Department, which can appeal the ruling or seek new indictments against the men.

The men were guarding a State Department convoy moving through western Baghdad when the shooting began. The company said its contractors came under attack, but Iraqi authorities called the gunfire unprovoked and indiscriminate.

Each of the now-former guards -- Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, Dustin Heard, Donald Ball and Nicholas Slatten -- faced 14 counts of manslaughter, 20 counts of attempted manslaughter and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a violent crime. Prosecutors requested that charges against Slatten be dropped in November, but Thursday's ruling dismissed the counts against all five.

"We're obviously pleased at the decision dismissing the entire indictment and are very happy that these courageous young men can begin the new year without this unfair cloud hanging over them," said Slough's lawyer, Mark Hulkower.

A sixth guard involved in the shootings, Jeremy Ridgeway, pleaded guilty in 2008 to voluntary manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.

Actually, moron, Iraq does have the right to try even American soldiers for crimes. The only reason US troops haven't been tried is due to the Iraqis allowing us to handle it with UCMJ and court martials. They let us do it, not the other way around.

No doubt there is foul on both sides! We all know that ever since the PMCs' entrance into Iraq, it has been the trunk monkeys' (or anyone who sees a threat!) job to fire at anyone who makes what appears suspicios but that was/is (less so now) the MO of the AO!
Just saying!

Perhaps their being granted special status by the Bush/Cheney cabal allowed them to act as they did (I do not know) but they did what they did until they were found out and outed by the fellows of the "sinking ship".

1. What do you think about the forensic evidence lacking veracity at the Square?
2. How do you account for several of thier vevhicles needing assistance after the incident if only BW fired rounds at innocent civilians?

No doubt the civilians had wounds consistant with BW's calibre of weapons but what about the uncategorized munition that disabled at least 2 of BWs own carriers!
As noted earlier BW (now Xe) got involved at their own level of clearance and government secrecy so they are not blameless!

Drake

Yeah... we call it positive target identification. You don't shoot unless you are absolutely sure you are targeting an enemy.

Warfare would be easy if every time someone shot at you, you could just wreck the place. However, in a COIN environment, it is self-defeating and generally makes things worse. Unless, of course, you are a contractor profiting from the war and generally have no vested interest in Iraq rebuilding itself. That, and it violates just about every ROE and several laws of war.

I guess I should have been a little soldier boy. On 60 minutes last night they said that over 200K soldiers have filed for disability since 2003. So many in fact they can't even keep up processing them.
In any case where is this dude that is suppose to be giving me money!:D

There are people who fall under the "Stolen Valour Act" who pretended to be in a war zone. impersonate true patriots fighting for liberty or have never left USA and they get/are getting benefits they do not deserve!


All I would have had to do would have been go to Iraq, ride around on a Hummer all day, drink beer, smoke dope and hit on young Iraqi girls. but this aint true, or if it happens, it is so miniscule. When you patrol for x days and you come back, all you have time to do is get some zz's.

Perhaps if you are AGNA, you could have some guys dress up a girls, pour vodka (or whatever) up their crackhouse and drink from it! you think I jest! It is true.

This forum is full of them and most of them act like brainwashed nuts. That does not make them bad people necessarily but lets face it, a soldier is trained to kill and follow orders. Thinking is not deemed necessary, if it does not involve the tasks that he has been assigned to carry out. So we have soldiers and ex-soldiers all over the place that think that their government sends them to kill people on the other side of the planet to protect Democracy, Human Rights, Freedom, Justice and other bla, bla.

Yes, stealing natural resources has nothing to do with wars; Hefty arms contacts for huge arms manufacturers have nothing to do with it; Borrowing money from elite banks and finance cartels(who by the way, select your Presidents), to finance your wars and paying them interest out of US (and other) tax payers' pockets, therefore concentrating the nation's and world's wealth, further in the hands of a few, has nothing to do with it; Post war construction contracts have nothing to do with it; population control has nothing to do with it. I could go on but I am sure that you catch my drift.

In these days and times there are very few people in the American military who can say they have actually had any real "Combat". They depend on technology, the heat sensors, the radars, the tanks and hummers that can almost withstand a small nuke.

Truth is you get these people out in the field with just a compass and a knife and they would just fall apart.

In a world that all of a sudden didn't have any technology the US military would not stand a chance.

I have never claimed to be an expert in military combat. Stop digressing!

What I have infinitely more knowledge than you about is the REAL world of politics. The reality that your brainwashed mind does not see. People like you actually believe that some "Islamic Fanatic" planned the 9-11 attacks sitting in a cave in Afghanistan.

You refuse to believe that your country (together with the UK) is still a colonial empire and that it kills(including its own citizens) and destroys ruthlessly for what it considers to be its interests.

And don't kid yourself, the interests of the USA are not your interests, if there are any overlaps, then they are purely accidental. The interests of the US are the interests of the Banking families who control your every day lives including deciding who your president will be; interests rates; which countries wars will be declared on in the coming years; which countries will be destablized and so on. They own your security agencies and the "government", but that is not enough. They want to own you @sses as well as today's technology will allow them to do that and hence the wars on terrorism and drugs; campaigns against Climate Change, their "necessary" infringements on your freedoms and rights as human beings.

You know very well that many of them are encouraged to volunteer. Scouts are sent to the poorer areas of the country to recruit soldiers!


They never should have been made to go into the recruiter's office, sign the paperwork, take the tests, go through the medical examination, made sure they were not given any false promises by the recruiters, reviewed their contract, took their oath, and then went to BCT and finished instead of asking for an entry level separation.
They are no different than the enemy who they are fighting. Do you think that most Iraqui soldiers would be soldiers if they had the choice?

Most wouldn't!

The same goes for the Americans.

However, many on BOTH sides are brainwashed. One side is dying for Iraq, Allah, Mohammed and the other side is dying for Democracy. "Freedom"( what a laugh), God and Jesus.

Who wins? Not the soldiers, that is for sure. They die, they are maimed and damaged physically and psychologically. Their families are damaged and traumatized. So, no winners there for sure!

For the winners, see the trail of money!

Yes, have a look at the balance sheets of banks who lend money for weapons' purchases, construction etc. See arms company's balance sheets; see construction companies' balance sheets. Yes these people make a "killing"as well.

So what you get is bankers ( and other corporate families) choosing and running your governments to whom you are always paying more and more extortionate taxes. These "governments" rob and pillage the world for their masters. And while they are doing all this you the citizen tax payer is paying for it through your ever higher taxes. That is, your hard earned money is transferred, albeit indirectly, into the pockets of your corporate masters.

What happens when you refuse to pay for this con? Ask the Gestapo like IRS!!!


Poor, poor oppressed people.
My sentiments exactly.


It was all they had open to them except doing well in school and getting a scholarship,
You know very well that scholarships are not for everyone!


or taking out student loans, or going to trade school,
Student loans will put them in the packet of very bankers who run your everyday lives!



or going to community college for their first 2 years to save money, or getting a low salary entry level job and making their way up the chain with solid job performance.

It seems that even low salary jobs are not that abundant nowadays. You are talking fantasy. The military targets people from very low sectors of society and makes promises. Sadly, we must face it that many people join the army to go and kill "rug-heads" because they are evil and want to "destroy" America...LOL

That attitude comes from poorly educated simple minds, who are brought up under constant media (which is also controlled) propaganda, that is fine tuned to influence them. So yes, the military is full of knuckleheads too.!



Poor fellas...so many doors closed to them.

Of course there are!

A normal well balanced human being who has a good education and opportunities to progress in life is not going to volunteer to become a trained killer so as to go and kill other human beings on the other side of the world.

Nearly everything you said was utterly incorrect. Low income families get virtually all deducted taxes at year end. You wouldn't know that, because you hop around the jungle thinking you are Leonidas. I DO know that, because I was low income before, and I got everything back several years running. Fatal logic error 1.

Yes, there are scholarships for everyone, and in fact, many minority and poor groups are OVERrepresented. One guy, who later decided to join the Army, made more off scholarships than his ROTC counterparts. You wouldn't know this, because you still are trying to train up to fend off the Persians, but there is virtually an overwhelming amount of scholarships available for college students in America, not to mention very generous federal consolidated loans that have very low interest rates. Fatal logic error 2.

No, recruiters do not target low income people. I met my recruiter at a college job fair, who was sitting right next to very respectable corporations also hiring. In fact, most poor people do not even qualify for federal service, because at a minimum, they need a GED AND 15 college credits. There is absolutely no point in trying to find dropouts or those who have only their GED, people who tend to be at the absolutel lowest income bracket. Had you not been occupied trying make your shield shiny, you MIGHT have known this, but it's obvious you do not. Fatal logic error 3.

Are you denying the fact that many young men and women in low income families join the military to come out of their squalor? And that these people are targeted by military recruiters because not many people in their right minds will want to join the military so as to learn killing skills in order to go and kill innocent people in some fantasy war in the Middle East!


Yes, there are scholarships for everyone, and in fact, many minority and poor groups are OVERrepresented. One guy, who later decided to join the Army, made more off scholarships than his ROTC counterparts.
I was under the impression that you did not get scholarships if your aptitude did not match up.

Yes more LIES and attempts at character assassination. Tell whoeever that is training you that in order for such things to work you need to be more subtle.;)


not to mention very generous federal consolidated loans that have very low interest rates. Fatal logic error 2.
As much as being under debt has become part of the culture in the US (thanks to the banks and their "government" puppets or is it puppet governments?), there are many people who see it for what it is and avoid them like the plague.

Had you not been occupied trying make your shield shiny, you MIGHT have known this, but it's obvious you do not. Fatal logic error 3.

According to a documentary that I saw some years ago in England, the US military were targetting poor rural areas in the US, targeting young men (some of them not so bright) from low income families, offering them a "way out" and other "opportunities". The camera were following the recruitment officers as they went about their business. Are you implying that these were just actors and not real military officials?


Epic fail, Hardwork. You tell everyone else to open their eyes, yet you are as blind as a Spartan Bat. Making controversial statements are great until you are called out for them. What defense do you have for that?
Yes, I am called upon to by a man who laces his every paragraph with official lies and unofficial attempts at character assassination using lies, distractions and deceit in order to digress from very important points made by me.

By the way, what do you find so controversial? The fact that the Iraq war had nothing to do with WOMDs? That the war on Afghanistan had nothing to do with Bin Ladin and 9-11 or the heroin trade, which is by the way flourishing since the US forces have been there? That 9-11 and 7/7 were inside jobs to con the Western populations into accepting unjust wars and infringments on their god given rights as human beings?

I wonder what slums they found people like Pat Tillman and John McCain's son at?

I don't know. However, there have always been soldiers from the upper levels of society in the military. It seems that psychopathic tendencies and/or mere patriotic naivity do not recognize class structures.

So perhaps they were found in the "slums" of ignorance or political propaganda.

This is a thread about Blackwater and that idiot judge, not about the military that has ZERO to do with Blackwater.
But for those that have issues with the military, please be reminded of this:

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post.

Whiel said by someone that didn't deserve to wear the uniform, it nevertheless reminds people that the free reign they have right now, still comes with a price and that some are paying for it right now.

Are you denying the fact that many young men and women in low income families join the military to come out of their squalor? And that these people are targeted by military recruiters because not many people in their right minds will want to join the military so as to learn killing skills in order to go and kill innocent people in some fantasy war in the Middle East!


I was under the impression that you did not get scholarships if your aptitude did not match up.


Yes more LIES and attempts at character assassination. Tell whoeever that is training you that in order for such things to work you need to be more subtle.;)


As much as being under debt has become part of the culture in the US (thanks to the banks and their "government" puppets or is it puppet governments?), there are many people who see it for what it is and avoid them like the plague.

1.Yes, I am saying that those in the lowest income bracket are usually ineligible to enlist. In fact, 75% of Americans are ineligible to enlist. So yes, I am calling your WRONG. Deal with it.

2. "under the impression" Yes, that would sum up your knowledge pool. You seem to under the impression of a lot of erroneous things. And you are wrong. There are many MANY scholarships available for those simply based on their ethnicity, chosen path of education, and even where they live.

3. Most transactions would be impossible without credit. Auto sales, home sales, Ivy League educations, all impossible without credit. Credit, when used responsibly, is one of the greatest enablers of modern commerce. However, you are unable to differentiate between good and bad credit, a SOLID indicator of your ignorance in this matter. But if you can shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home, car and education, more power to you. The rest of the world uses credit and loans. It actually makes the economy healthier, but you can't figure that out without being educated.

4. It says volumes that you base the American military system off a documentary you saw in the UK. It's wrong, by the way. Why target people who can't join anyway? Huge logical mistake, there, and indicative of someone who knows very VERY little about America.

You say I publish official lies, when all you do is regurgitate conspiracy theories and paranoia in order to scare people into fearing their government. A government which allows us to bear arms, question our officials, impeach presidents, and if it comes to real tyranny, not fabricated conspiracy theories, overthrow the government. I've busted you out, and all you can do is whine and use phrases like "I was under the impression" or "I saw it on TEEVEE", revealing your complete ignorance in the matter. You think YOU thought up the "9/11 conspiracy"? No, you didn't. You heard about it, it was "controversial", so you latched on to it without even questioning it.

There's no revolution here, because people know you and the sickos who feed you the information, are sad liars who want to provoke the public with garbage. They aren't buying it, so you can go back to practicing your parry and thrust with the rest of your Roman legion.

Or you can continue screaming nonsense at the top of your lungs, and deal with everyone here mocking you and your insanity.

3rd party research from www.heritage.org.

"We found that recruits tend to come from mid*dle-class areas, with disproportionately fewer from low-income areas. Overall, the income dis*tribution of military enlistees is more similar to than different from the income distribution of the general population."

"We find that, on average, recruits tend to be much more highly educated than the general pub*lic and that this education disparity increased after the war on terrorism began. Comparable detailed education data from the Census classify the educa*tion level of individuals into one of seven categories (from less than high school up to graduate/profes*sional degree). We generated a binary variable that assigns a 1 for individuals with a high school diploma or higher and a 0 for less than a high school diploma."

Funny how this agrees with exactly what I said, and runs directly counter to Hardwork's LIES.

"We found that whites are one of the most pro*portionally represented groups making up 77.4 percent of the population and 75.8 percent of all recruits whereas other racial categories are often represented in noticeably higher and lower propor*tions than the general population."

And to put the final nail in the coffin...

"Put simply, the current makeup of the all-vol*untary military looks like America. Where they are different, the data show that the average sol*dier is slightly better educated and comes from a slightly wealthier, more rural area. We found that the military (and Army specifically) included a higher proportion of blacks and lower propor*tions of other minorities but a proportionate num*ber of whites. More important, we found that recruiting was not drawing disproportionately from racially concentrated areas."

here's the link. http://www.heritage.org/research/nationalsecurity/cda05-08.cfm

But I already knew all of this, so reading it was no surprise. And it should please 1Bad that I see a LOT of soldiers from Texas. Can't count how many times a TX license plate truck cut me off here, though.

Let us say that for arguments sake that I am totally wrong. Does that make all the wars and killings right? NOt to mention the stealing of other countries' natural resources?


2. "under the impression" Yes, that would sum up your knowledge pool. You seem to under the impression of a lot of erroneous things. And you are wrong. There are many MANY scholarships available for those simply based on their ethnicity, chosen path of education, and even where they live.

It actually makes the economy healthier, but you can't figure that out without being educated.
You are brainwashed into thinking that credit is a "good thing" by the banks and their servants. Don't you realize that you pay a lot more than things are worth, most of the time? Who benefits when a whole society is under debt? THINK!

I am not talking about a one time debt on buying a house but rather the idea that people are convinced that they can have the best of everything and pay for it later. That means they go above their heads and buy things that they cannot really afford and when one these man made crisis hits, they lose everything and have to hand their assets to, you guessed it, the banks. To add insult to injury, the "government" that is owned by the banks, gives your tax money to them in order to rescue them.LOL

Personally speaking, I don't buy anything if I don't have the money in my pocket to pay for it then and there! However, that has not stopped businesses and BANKS trying to facilitate me falling under debt. If you follow the money train then sooner or later it will lead to the same place the money trail from wars does!


4. It says volumes that you base the American military system off a documentary you saw in the UK. It's wrong, by the way. Why target people who can't join anyway? Huge logical mistake, there, and indicative of someone who knows very VERY little about America.
Why would the American military waste time recruting people who are not recruitable? Do you think that the documentary was fake and that they used English actors with Southern accents to portray US military personnel? LOL

And in the light of your cluelessness about the fact that the Federal Reserve was a private banking cartel and that the American "government" asks them to print dollars and pays interest on those dollars from US citizens' income tax, I cannot take anything you say seriously!!


You say I publish official lies, when all you do is regurgitate conspiracy theories and paranoia in order to scare people into fearing their government. A government which allows us to bear arms,
Believe me that they are trying to take that right away from you as well!

I say that without having any personal issues with responsible people being able to carry them and protect themselves when required.


question our officials, impeach presidents,
When was the last time that a president was impeached? Lets see, George W. Bush seemed to have won his Florida vote through fraud; started an illegal war in Afghanistan and Iraq; presided over the 9-11 "terrorist attack" where there are lots of unanswered questions, to say the least and what has happened? Ziltch has happened!!!!!!


and if it comes to real tyranny, not fabricated conspiracy theories, overthrow the government. I've busted you out, and all you can do is whine and use phrases like "I was under the impression" or "I saw it on TEEVEE", revealing your complete ignorance in the matter. You think YOU thought up the "9/11 conspiracy"?
That is what you don't understand. I knew that it was a conspiracy when I saw it on TV while living in Brazil. Among other things, on the day of the incident a famous civil engineer was interviewed on TV and he said that the buildings could have only been pulled down by human intervention.

Soon after that we heard that apparently some Alcaida people had crossed into Brazil from the Southern boarders just before the attacks. This was no doubt CIA misinformation to get other countries (populations) nervous or involved.

Then we heard that after the planes had incinerated and the building had toppled, somebody had found one of the terrorists' passports....LOL....I am still laughing at that one.

Then it was revealed that a third building in the complex, building 7, had also collapsed in a similar manner to the main towers. However, this building had not been hit by a plane so no doubt it collapsed because of sympathy pains for the other two buildings....LOL

Then we heard that an exact scenrio was being re-enacted as a training exercise by the US military. This involved the hijack of planes by terrorists over US airspace in the same zones that the actual attacks happened..WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT?

On a side note after the 7/7 attacks in London it was revealed that a security exercise was being carried out that mirrored the "terrorist"attacks....Now that is real creepy don't you think? Aren't such exercises the perfect vehicles to get some panzies to be where you want them to be when all hell breaks loose?

Or do you want to brush this off as two unrelated "coincidences".:rolleyes:

Let me go on..........

When George Bush was informed of the attacks his reaction was verging on the retarded. He just carried on reading the story book in that kindergarden. No doubt he wanted to read the end of the story. Perhaps, curiosity got the better of him when the US was under supposed military attack.:rolleyes:

It was also revealed that members of the Bin Ladin family were flowen out of the US when no other air traffic was allowed to function. WHY? Wouldn't you want to question them?

Some people have called into question the reaction time of the US air defenses as compared to their protocols for hijack incidents.

Then we have our middle class "terrorists" that seemed to be fond of drinking and strip clubs. And of course, they seemed to leave Korans behind wherever they went. Didn't they even leave a aircraft flight manual behind in their car. What they took the manuel with them for last minute revision before they boarded the planes, no doubt..."hey Abdul, let have another look, is it the button on the right or the left I need to push to lower altitude?" LOL.

The official story of this whole tragedy is so full of holes that only an idiot would believe it.



No, you didn't. You heard about it, it was "controversial", so you latched on to it without even questioning it.

There's no revolution here, because people know you and the sickos who feed you the information, are sad liars who want to provoke the public with garbage. They aren't buying it, so you can go back to practicing your parry and thrust with the rest of your Roman legion.

Or you can continue screaming nonsense at the top of your lungs, and deal with everyone here mocking you and your insanity.
More dis-information and assumptions. Your country is an imperial power and it is run by a corporate banking elite. You and people like you are there to do the dirty work while they enjoy the profits of the blood you shed.

Look at Vietnam. That is a country that the US could have taken over in short months. However, the war was prolonged because a longer war means more money for the banking cartels and the arms manufacturers. Did it matter that many Vietnamise and Americans perished and were maimed? OF course not. If you are not part of the elite cult it does not matter. All that matterd was that their wealth increased by billions. You need to get real!!!!!

You must also realize that you are like any soldier in that, to the elite, you are just expendable cannon fodder, as they can always recruit more and at the end of the day it does not matter wether they are from lower classes or middle classes, because it seems they do a good job of brainwashing a cross section of society!

And do you think that being an Islamic terrorist who is willing to die for Allah correlates with going to strip clubs and drinking alcoholic beverages?

What about the 7/7 terrorist who was filmed on CCTV cameras buying food in a MC Donald's restaurant. Just the thing an American hating "terrorist" would do before killing himself for Allah. Or have Mc Donalds started serving Hallal hamburgers?:confused:

The more you ignore these facts and continue to diverting the issues with lies and relatively irrelevant details the more you come out looking like you are hiding something!!!

It's the truth!

Majority of US presidents are all related to (British. French and German royal families) albeit far removed (8th, 9th 10th cousins) but the link is there!
The recent English monarchy are all German (Battenberg and descendants of Queen Victoria) but due to the WW2 war effort, it would look bad with Germans being the nominal monarchial leaders!

It is interesting how the elite of the Western world share the same blood lines.;)


It is definitely strange, specially when one considers how multi racial the US is. So what goes? Are the main share holders (owners) of the Federal Reserve of the same blood lines as the American presidents? Actually, who are the (unelected) owners of the private banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve that wields so much power and influence on the day to day lives of "free" Americans? Has anyone asked? Are you allowed to ask?

Drake,

Here are some interesting statistics from the Vietnem War in relation to the racial makeup, sourced of course. ;)

There was some opposition to the draft even before the major U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The large cohort of Baby Boomers who became eligible for military service during the Vietnam War also meant a steep increase in the number of exemptions and deferments, especially for college and graduate students. This was the source of considerable resentment among poor and working class young men including African-Americans - who could not afford college. Large groups of draftees publicly burned draft cards. Of all the service members who served in Vietnam, 10.6% were black, 88.4% were Caucasian (including Hispanics) and 1% other. At the time, Blacks represented 12.5% of the total U.S. population and 13.5% of the military age cohort, so they were significantly under represented in the war zone. Casualty data shows 86.8% of those killed in action were Caucasian, while 12.1% were Black. Although slightly higher than the proportion serving in combat, it was significantly below the Black military age cohort in the general population at the time.

Source: Combat Area Casualty File of 11/93 (CACF1193), and The Adjutant General's Center (TAGCEN) file of 1981.

At the end of the day even that does not matter as the orders come from above and I mean above even the military and the Commander in Chief, meaning the very few corporate banking families that run the US.

Speaking of the military, lets take a look at the draft.

In 2003, several Democratic congressmen (Charles Rangel of New York, James McDermott of Washington, John Conyers of Michigan, John Lewis of Georgia, Pete Stark of California, Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii) introduced legislation that would draft both men and women into either military or civilian government service, should there be a draft in the future.

In November 2006, Representative Charles Rangel again called for the draft to be reinstated.

So, the political party who wants to FORCE men and women to have to go fight is the Democrats. And you two fools said the Republicans were the warmongers.

As a footnote, more men were drafted during LBJ's time in office than any other President who served during the Vietnam War. Johnson was a Democrat. And the draft during Vietnam was started under JFK, another Democrat.

Fairness would also include the distinct possibility that you won't have a choice between civilian or military service. If the civilian side has met its quota, then fairly, you'll only have military service left as an option. And seeing as you support the whole mess, it'd be hilarious irony. ESPECIALLY if I was your CO. However, people like you are the exact reason I oppose a draft. I don't want you in my unit, or in my Army. If anything, the idea of you being drafted is an excellent argument supporting the all volunteer Army. We only want qualified individuals who want to be here.

I remind you that the US and the UK had been on Iraqi soil for years and they were apparently looking, actively, for these Chemical Weapons. So again, our friend Saddam, tricked the CIA, MIA, NSA, MI6 and most probably the Israeli Intelligence while they were all there for best part of a decade looking for those weapons??? LOL.

We cannot forget that one of the inspectors/searchers for those weapons had said that all reports regarding such weapons had been "sexed up". Not long after his report, he was found dead, apparently he had committed suicide. I mean who would kill him? NOt the Western Intelligence agencies of course, because we all know that they are a bunch of great human beings. Don't believe me? Then just ask any Iraqui or Afghani citizen. Still unconvinceds? Then take a trip to El Salvador or Nicaragua. Still unconvinced, then go down to Brazil, Chile or Argentina whose DEMOCRATICALLY elected governments were overthrown by the US (and other) security services resuting in decades of human rights abuses and suffering while many in the West hypocritically,called these countries "Banana Republics"!

So you're ducking the question. I expected that from you, so I'm not surprised. I knew you didn't have the guts to answer it. If you could have answered it and not looked like a hypocrite, you would have. :D


Now that's more of the comments you should be making.

Leave any real debate to the adults!

By real debate do you mean the way we do it now? Like me and Drake have to continuously source our allegations, but you don't because we pointed out your wife-beating buddy is indeed your wife-beating buddy?

By real adults, do you mean guys like you that launch personal attacks on people's children?

Even if you don't answer it, everyone can see your hypocracy. You said the draft isnt "fair" because those in power don't have to abide by it, yet you want this healthcare bill to pass that those in power won't have to abide by.

I will, though I am curious why they picked me over an infantry officer to do this.

I'm sure it has something to do with the global conspiracy HW is speaking of. ;)

Any my connections with the TSA, which makes absolutely no sense. I am the tactical intel officer for an infantry battalion, and somehow I have contacts in the TSA?

Yeah, like a promotion at his job. He has a real job that I'm sure pays him well. What do you do besides LARP?

MIlions of people have real jobs without having given their minds to others whose only purpose in life is to serve and protect the, not so easy to see, elite corporate families.

i work for myself, thank you very much.

You really need to see the bigger picture because you will never see the truth living in a compartementalzed world that is designed to keep the masses ignorant.

Like I said before, political parties and their "differences" and the resultant debates and conflicts are just illusions. The US is a one party state and so are many other so called democracies. It is not that difficult to connect the dots, if you start thinking for yourself.

So stop it with your "Democrats this and Republicans that" cr@p as any "differences" between the two are superficial. WAKE UP!

It's so funny that the terrorists who work for Blackwater get the protections (quite rightly) of due process and freedom from self-incrimination...


but the Neo-Con Warhawks can't bear the thought of terrorists who DON'T work for us getting anything like the same just and lawful judicial process.
