The following news learned yesterday, has pushed me over the brink! ENOUGH!

I am sick of President Obama second-guessing the legitimacy of most anything we do here in the United States of America, and continually APOLOGIZING, EVEN FOR OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM, yet, trusting it enough to relegate our Constitutional rights to terrorists!

ENOUGH!
==============================
I ASK THAT EVERY RED-BLOODED PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, JOIN TOGETHER IN PRAYER ON THIS DAY, SO THAT THE DAYS REMAINING FOR OBAMA'S ILL-GOVERNING BE VERY FEW!!

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT THROUGH PRAYER!

The list of FALSE "achievements" he is sure to enumerate that night may get him a Nobel TRINKET, but will not award him our loyalty!

AMEN!!
==============================
1/24/10 BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. will appeal a court decision dismissing manslaughter charges against five Blackwater Worldwide guards involved in a deadly 2007 Baghdad shooting, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday.

Biden's announcement after a meeting with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani shows just how diplomatically sensitive the incident remains nearly three years later. A lawyer for one guard, noting that word of the intended appeal came in Iraq, accused the Obama administration of political expediency and said the U.S. was pursuing an innocent man, rather than justice.

Blackwater security contractors were guarding U.S. diplomats when the guards opened fire in Nisoor Square, a crowded Baghdad intersection, on Sept. 16, 2007. Seventeen people were killed, including women and children, in a shooting that inflamed anti-American sentiment in Iraq.

Biden expressed his "personal regret" for the shooting and said the Obama administration was disappointed by the dismissal. "A dismissal is not an acquittal," he said.

The U.S. rebuffed Iraqi demands that the U.S. contractors face trial in Iraqi courts. After a lengthy investigation, U.S. prosecutors charged five of the contractors with manslaughter and took a guilty plea from a sixth.

But the case fell apart when a federal trial judge in Washington, Ricardo Urbina, said in a Dec. 31 ruling that the Justice Department mishandled evidence and violated the guards' constitutional rights. Prosecutors now face difficult odds getting an appeals court to reinstate the case.

The dismissal outraged many Iraqis, who said it showed the Americans considered themselves above the law. The Iraqi government began collecting signatures for a class-action lawsuit from victims who were wounded or lost relatives.

Lawyers for two of the Blackwater guards - Donald Ball, a former U.S. Marine from West Valley City, Utah, and Dustin Heard, a former U.S. Marine from Knoxville, Tenn. - sharply criticized the U.S. government's planned appeal.

"By announcing this decision in Iraq, through an elected official, the United States makes clear it has decided to do what is politically expedient, rather than what is just based on Judge Urbina's unshakable findings that the prosecutors engaged in gross misconduct and intentionally violated Mr. Ball's constitutional rights," attorney Steven McCool, who represents Ball, said in a statement. "In the end, the United States has shown it will pursue an innocent man, rather than justice."

Attorney David Schertler, who represents Heard, said moving ahead with an appeal "appears to be based upon political considerations rather than a careful consideration of the legal merits of the case as it should be."

White House officials said the U.S. Justice Department decided on the appeal and that Biden's trip was not originally intended to be the way it would be announced. The White House learned of the Justice decision Friday night, which led to the timing of the announcement.

Messages seeking comment from lawyers for the other three guards who fought the charges were not immediately returned Saturday.

Those guards are Evan Liberty, a former U.S. Marine from Rochester, N.H.; Nick Slatten, a former U.S. Army sergeant from Sparta, Tenn., and Paul Slough, an U.S. Army veteran from Keller, Texas.

The sixth guard, Jeremy Ridgeway of California, pleaded guilty to one count each of manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, and aiding and abetting. It's unclear what Urbina's ruling means for him.

Blackwater has said the guards were innocent, contending there were ambushed by insurgents. Prosecutors said the shooting was unprovoked.

Court documents paint a murky picture of a case rife with conflicting evidence. Some witnesses say the Blackwater convoy was under fire; others say it wasn't. Some said the entire convoy fired into the intersection; others said only a few men opened fire.

Even the government's key witnesses, three members of the Blackwater convoy, at times seemed to undercut the government's case.

Since the shooting, the Myock, N.C.-based Blackwater has renamed itself Xe Services and overhauled its management. Iraq has pulled the company's license to operate in the country.

  • I hope all those Murdering merc fucks get their heads cut off with a rusty blade.

    Barring that they should at least be locked up in an iraq jail for the rest of their lives.

    But wait they are americans so they couldn't possibly murder people.

    Its funny that there are people locked up in Americans prisons all over the world with flimsy to no existant evidence. Yet when you have dozens and dozens of witnesses and bodies of children the yanks get off on a technicality.

    wankers !!!!!!!!!!

  • @sindexter

    You know, one thing about you, you prove to be a MORON, thus, one cannot even begin to discuss anything with you!

    You are simply IGNORANT of the facts, or, perhaps, just don't give a hoot about them!!

  • Amen, Amen!! It won't be long before the democrats implode. They can't even stand each other...a very out-of-sync lot of anti-American ideologists.

  • @myangels7
