I can not believe the amount of corruption and cronyism that is being used with this war. Clinton was bashed and attacked for every military or peace-keeping action he took, even if he complied with all rules and regulations. But Bush is running around like a tyrant on crack doing whatever he wants and answering to no one. He's throwing little temper tantrums in press conferences and slamming doors and getting snippy with reporters. It would all be so funny if it wasn't so serious. His similarities to a snot-nosed spoiled teenager are so obvious I have no idea why he hasn't been spanked and sent to his room.
Babe... that was an extremely uninformed answer. Blackwater is not a part of the US military. If they were, they'd be held to the same standards as our armed forces. They are mercenaries who have been given a free pass to kill without discretion. Do you think that is intimidating the fanatics over there or riling them up even more?

Blackwater will be the fall guy. If the Bush Admin is ever going to sweep this under the carpet, some one has to take the blame. The Blackwater merc s are expendable and if thrown under the buss, no great loss. Eric Prince's peeps are team players. They know when there needs to be a sacrifice, hard decisions are going to be made.
But with Bush, power talks.

Blackwater employees in Iraq are defacto employees of the US State Dept....the US State Dept employees around the globe receive immunity from prosecution...Just look at all the UN Diplomats of other countries who commit crimes in NYC and get a pass.

President Bush hasn't committed crimes and
therefore needs no granting of immunity.
Immunity means immunity folks, get over it!

Blackwater isn't sitting in the seat of power either.

As far as I am concerned no one who defends our nations
should be prosecuted for defending us from the Islamo
Terrorists.

Because liberals will not allow anything to further the military or those who support the military. It's important that our hands remain tied.
