And it is not only US soldiers who are doing the damage. These private mercenaries--who everyone thinks are lining W's pockets, are more vile than any other group ever.

The article "Blackwater Guards Fired at Fleeing Cars, Soldiers SayFirst U.S. Troops on Scene Found No Evidence of Shooting by Iraqis; Incident Called 'Criminal'" at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/11/AR2007101101030.html
states "Blackwater USA guards shot at Iraqi civilians as they tried to drive away from a Baghdad square on Sept. 16, according to a report compiled by the first U.S. soldiers to arrive at the scene, where they found no evidence that Iraqis had fired weapons.
"It appeared to me they were fleeing the scene when they were engaged. It had every indication of an excessive shooting," said Lt. Col. Mike Tarsa, whose soldiers reached Nisoor Square 20 to 25 minutes after the gunfire subsided.
His soldiers' report -- based upon their observations at the scene, eyewitness interviews and discussions with Iraqi police -- concluded that there was "no enemy activity involved" and described the shootings as a "criminal event."
Their conclusions mirrored those reached by the Iraqi government, which has said the Blackwater guards killed 17 people."

It is all falling apart--just as experts predicted years ago, but W still wants our apathetic populace to cower in awe at his might. That is what the "Daddy Party" does!
