		<description>I wonder how long it will take for the Iraq government to find out that Bush signed Special Order 17 several years ago exempting Blackwater from any Iraqi authority.They have no control over this company and it, or its personnel, cannot be prosecuted under Iraqi laws for anything. Neat,huh?</description>

		<description>Is anyone more corrupt than George Bush&#039;s family?

&lt;strong&gt;Why Is Bush&#039;s Kid Brother Neil Getting Federal Funding?&lt;/strong&gt;
By Liliana Segura
Alternet
Thursday 13 September 2007
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/091407H.shtml
    &quot;So here&#039;s a tidy little racket: After being installed president thanks to a voting fracas in a state conveniently governed by your brother, cook up a national educational curriculum and place at its center the standardized test. Give the curriculum a name with a wink and a nudge, like, oh, &quot;No Child Left Behind.&quot; Then, funnel taxpayer money to equipping schools with a gimmicky learning device focused on standardized tests and sold by your other brother, the sadly anonymous one, whose only (fading) claim to fame is a role in the Savings and Loan scandal of the late 80s.
    &quot;Despite having no experience in education, Neil Bush is the founder of a Texas-based company called Ignite! Learning, which, since 1999 has peddled strange little devices called &quot;Curriculums on Wheels&quot; (COWs) to schools state and nationwide.
    &quot;Recently, a three-month investigation by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) revealed that schools are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, including No Child Left Behind funds, on Neil Bush&#039;s COWs. &quot;It is astonishing that taxpayer dollars are being spent on unproven educational products to the financial benefit of the president&#039;s brother,&quot; CREW&#039;s executive director, Melanie Sloan, said in a press release.
    &quot;Not sure how astonishing it is, really. And although I guess I&#039;m with her when she says that the Education Department&#039;s Inspector General &quot;should investigate whether children&#039;s educations are being sacrificed so that Neil Bush can rake in federal funds,&quot; considering that Neil Bush was also on the receiving end a couple years back of cash donated by his mother, Barbara, to a Hurricane Katrina relief fund co-operated by his father, George H.W. - cash specifically earmarked for purchase of his COWs for storm ravaged schools - I&#039;m gonna go ahead and say the answer is yes.&quot;</description>

		<description>Maliki sides with Iran - you dont shit on your own doorstep, 

The problem is another democratic vote in Iraq will NOT be in Americas favour

and a CIA backed coup brings this problem

&lt;i&gt; The US administration recognized that a US-led military coup dâ€™etat would not result in any laws being recognized as legitimate by the international community if parliament were to be dissolved. They therefore moved to a new policy, which involved direct interference with the political process in Iraq through their more reliable allies to reorganize the political alliance on which the government relied in order to achieve their goals. They finally succeeded in achieving the establishment of such a front, which was called the â€œThe front of the moderatesâ€ on August 15, between the two main Kurdish parties (KDP and PUK), two of the Shiite parties (the SCIRI and Al-Dawa party â€” the Al-Maliki wing is called the â€œExternal organizationâ€), with negotiations still ongoing to persuade the Islamic Party/Accord front â€” the main Sunni party â€” to join this new alliance.

The US administration made it clear that the new Iraqi government has important targets to accomplish, and they listed the oil law as the first priority and the re-Baathification law as a second main concern.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Blackwater mercenary corporation is in bed with the Bush Regime, plus Bush intended to hire more of them to replace any regular soldiers that come back to the US next year, so Maliki canceling their contract throws a monkey wrench into Dubya&#039;s sinister plans.

PM Maliki will be forced to rescind his decision canceling Blackwater&#039;s license, or his government might be overthrown in CIA backed coup.</description>

		<description>Blackwater isn&#039;t going anywhere.  They are Bush administration cronies.  They operate outside of any legal framework whatsoever.  The Bush administration will continue to pay them mercenary wages to shoot civilians in Iraq, and the non-functioning government of Iraq won&#039;t be able to do anything about it.</description>
