November 19th, 2007 at 6:03 pmWhy bother? These guys are more untouchable that Eliot Ness. And if by some miracle they were indicted, found guilty and sentenced, Bush would pardon the lot of them.

November 19th, 2007 at 6:08 pmHmmm. Haven’t those Blackwater boys already been given immunity?
So…what is going to be the end result of this investigation?
Certainly not indictments for murder – which is what SHOULD be the end result…
November 19th, 2007 at 6:16 pmThe Bush administration will find some phony pretext for preventing them from appearing.

November 19th, 2007 at 6:34 pmUS deaths in Iraq top 15,000
The Pentagon has been concealing the true number of American casualties in the Iraq War. The real number exceeds 15,000 and CBS News can prove it.
CBS’s Investigative Unit wanted to do a report on the number of suicides in the military and “submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Defense”. After 4 months they received a document, which showed–that between 1995 and 2007– there were 2,200 suicides among “active duty” soldiers.
Baloney.
The Pentagon was covering up the real magnitude of the “suicide epidemic”. Following an exhaustive investigation of veterans’ suicide data collected from 45 states; CBS discovered that in 2005 alone “there were at least 6,256 among those who served in the armed forces. That’s 120 each and every week in just one year.”
November 19th, 2007 at 6:36 pmSo Bush cover ups, it should read, bush bury’s coffin count’s…Sick jerk’s, this administration….Blessings
November 19th, 2007 at 6:41 pmI’m sure Bush will pardon and promote any wrong doers
November 19th, 2007 at 6:41 pmWow, they’ve been subpoenaed? So, what? They can show up if they feel like it, or if they don’t have anything better to do that day? We’ve seen the power of the mighty subpoena.

November 19th, 2007 at 7:50 pmOff topic somewhat but check out Huffington post at:

There are three small slogan “posters” there that sum up the pathetic administration that we’ve had to endure. Download the “poster” of your choice and iron it on a T-Shirt. My wife the good conservative had some iron-on thingys that she used recently for something unassociated with politics and I borrowed one.
Friggin perfect transfer!
Be sure to reverse the image, a mirror image printed from a simple ink jet and presto a fine T-Shirt that expresses our collective outrage.

November 19th, 2007 at 8:18 pmIt doesn’t really matter what or who the “Federal Grand Jury subpoenas”, does it?
Committing perjury is commonplace and goes unpunished these days.
Remember… America is a Christ-conned Nation, and She will act accordingly.
