Before Shooting in Iraq, a Warning on Blackwater

You seem to need to look up what "defend" means. Pointing out incorrect information, or highlighting that someone is doing such, is not "defending".

If they broke Iraqi laws, then the Iraqi's should decide what legal action they wish to take. If they broke any United States laws that would apply in a foreign country then the U.S. should take legal action against them for that. This doesn't qualify as "war crimes" however, and asserting that they should be charged with such simply because you have a strong dislike for their actions doesn't magically make it correct.

I didn't mention war crimes in the post you quoted. Glad to see you support prosecution, though you know there will be none.

You didn't, but the quote of mine you posted was addressing one that DID mention war crimes. You claimed that my support of the notion that "war crimes" would be the wrong charge here was somehow "defending" them. Thus the mention of war crimes.
 
Watch this thread end up way in the back pages without conservative posters commentary. Nothing to see here because this is a Bush/Cheney crime. We'd already be on page 40 if this happened under Obama's watch, so typical, so transparent. So the reason why presidents get away with their crimes.
 
Yes. Our American leaders are evil and not enough people care.




Which in turn leads to crap like this.
