I'm with ya but there's no way this is true. To get Bush and Obama and the rest of them would mean attacking the USA which the planet will not survive.

From my time in the sandbox I can attest that I never saw nor heard of service members (save for individuals that are currently in custody) needlessly slaughtering civilians.
The math works out to ~10 years of conflict and ~1,000,000 dead. This means I was blissfully unaware that ~280 civilians a day were being butchered?
Or possibly they're counting those poor civilians that happened to be caught in the blasts of suicide bombers and somehow we are responsible for the atrocities committed in the name of the religion of peace?
The most noticeable crime is the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was an act of aggression and is against international law. The second violation of the law was the the regime of torture set up by Bush. The third violation being the targeting of civilians. The fourth being the prison camp in Cuba and the fifth being the illegal spying programme.

This is great and all but what about the rest...Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc??? I guess time will tell.

The fifth is completely legal per US law AND constitution. As much as I oppose it, the fact is it is completely legal. There is no general right to privacy. The fourth amendment gives specific protections, under which the spying program does not fall into.

Years ago, my lawyer had a favorite expression "It could be argued .......".
In the final analysis, I think it all boils down to mob rule (we are all Romans now). If enough people get bent, mobilized and vocal, TPTB will pull a new legal theory out of their # to diffuse the situation. If that means throwing a few scumbags to the wolves, so be it.

Keep that head in the sand. it seems to be firmly in place.
Please tell me....did the commanders there tell you exactly how many people were dying each day? Or do you think what you saw was the only thing happening in the entire country?
