When does it stop?

Yesterday, it was announced that Moammar Kaddafi had been killed in our undeclared war against him. Hell of a no-fly zone operation, wouldn't you say? Aren't you proud? Of course no one seems to be paying attention to the thousands of Libyans that were killed by our brave forces before we finally got him, eight month after we started this mess and at an estimated cost of one and a half billion dollars. Cheap for a war. We can't afford to take care of needy Americans, but we can afford to spend billions on seeming colonialist ambitions. We are still the bullies in the world playground and the rest of the U.N. hasn't got the guts to stop us. We're still fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Columbia, Mexico, and now Uganda. Someone needs to tell the Chicago Gang Banger and his legislative eunuchs that he ain't Nero and that this isn't Rome. They need to do it now!

Just watched the helicopter gun camera footage with radio transmissions dealing with the killing of twelve Iraqi civilians and children. WTF! I know the rules of engagement. They sure as hell weren't observed here. If you don't know who or what someone is and they are not threatening you or yours, you sure as hell don't kill them just because they are there and vulnerable.
The radio transmissions makes the helicopter crew sound like cowboys enjoying what they were doing?
The army, in violation of American FOIA law, had refused to release the footage to Reuters News, the employer of two of the dead Iraqis, both of whom were working journalists.
Now, with the release of this footage on UTube, the world gets to see the unadulterated truth of the incident. Too bad it has cost the person accused of its release, Pvt. Bradley Manning, his freedom. He is presently in a military prison in Kuwait.
The footage and related radio transmissions are on www.collateralmurder.com .
What the hell are we doing in Iraq?
