Democrats vote to turn Iraq/Iran over to terrorists.

[Dr. Ernest C. Ville, D.C.S.]

In a move that should shock absolutely no one, the Democrats have voted in favor of a bill that hamstrings our troops and supports terrorists. Now we all know that the Democrats have a personal vendetta against our troops and America in general, but this move just makes me sick

WASHINGTON - The House passed a bill Thursday that would make all private contractors working in Iraq and other combat zones subject to prosecution by U.S. courts. It was the first major legislation of its kind to pass since a deadly shootout last month involving Blackwater employees.Democrats called the 389-30 vote an indictment in connection with a shooting incident there that left 11 Iraqis dead. Senate Democratic leaders said they planned to follow suit with similar legislation and send a bill to President Bush as soon as possible.
“There is simply no excuse for the de facto legal immunity for tens of thousands of individuals working in countries” on behalf of the United States, said Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas.


The FBI is currently leading an investigation into the Sept. 16 shootout, although administration officials acknowledge they are unsure whether U.S. courts would have jurisdiction in the case or others like it.
In a separate incident, a drunk Blackwater employee left a Christmas eve party in Baghdad and fatally shot the guard of one of Iraq’s vice presidents. That contractor was fired, fined and returned home to the United States, but no charges have been filed.

What really confuses me is that these evil politicians are focusing on a single, isolated incident. Brother Trent was protecting the safety of American people and definitely was *not* drunk on $800/bottle wine. I want to be the first to go on record to say that he is 110% innocent, and I understand that Pastor Deacon Fred has spoken with George W. Bush and has been assured that this incident will not be further investigated. It was a simple misunderstanding of the rules.

That's disgusting, appeasing the Iraqi government after it banned Blackwater!

We shouldn't be caving in to their demands, we should fire some cruise missiles into their capital. It's not time for diplomacy, it's time for REGIME CHANGE!

Blackwater USA is an exemplary outfit populated with hard working go getters and patriots. They did nothing wrong and what they have been accused of was no big deal. Terrorists hide behind civies and in civie locations specifically to incur civilian deaths to herald as American atrocities. Seriously, I've seen it first hand. An insurgent scumbag will duck out into a storefront and begin laying fire toward the patrols leaving our guys no choice but to return fire. This can result in innocent lives lost but in the name of killing terrorists so it balances out. Who can tell civies from terrorists when they all dress, act and look the same? Besides, who actually claimed these guys killed civies anyway? Some Iraqi witnesses? Like they don't have an agenda to see Blackwater USA sent packing for the real world. The witnesses are probably terrorists praying to Alluha Akbar as I type this. Come on people.
The Democrats hate soldiers, that much is obvious, but now they also hate the security? What is going on in Washington? The Libs are taking some Hajis word over the brave souls providing much needed security for our envoys and diplomats and contractors? We're trying to REBUILD that toilet country for pitys sake! They want to KILL US! Why can't we have decent security since the contractors and diplomats are typically forbidden from being armed? It's like the Senate and Congress is all taking doobie tokes during their recesses!
Who is going to provide security now? The military? The incompetant Iraqi police? The dirty annoying and foul mouthed urchins who beg candy and steal our troops stuff in the streets?

WHO? Come on Nancy Peloser, Dick Turbin, Johnny Murtha(EX Marine what a disgrace to the Globe and Anchor), Hitlery Rotten Clinton and Harry Ried...who?

These liberals are the kind of monsters who would have prosecuted the Hessans for fighting with George Washington during the Revolution.

Can’t people see Iraq is struggling to break free of oppression? That is why Paul Bremer helped them out with Article 17 that gave them the tools they need to fight terror. The terrorist are a ruthless enemies who fight without rules, only private contractors given an utterly free hand can deal with them. To force these private contractors to be accountable for their actions is the same as stripping them naked and sending them into Fallujah.

The Democrats see that victory is just at hand and are looking to pull the rug out from under it.

Ain't that the truth!
How are these guys supposed to direct fire at bad guys if they are constantly having to double check and document every single time they shoot some dirty Arab? It's insane. They are trying to do a tough job over there. They don't need the hassle of having to ID every stinking corpse in a dress and turbin they see.

Time for a reality check Washington!
