Aren't you so proud of our Democrats? They are able to have all types of oversight hearings and pass laws to protect the USA's money at the same time. We haven't heard of any corruption by the Democrats like we have of the Republicans. Let us all tell our Representives and Senators just how proud we are of their loyalty to the American people? God Bless you in the good things you are doing and let us seek Gods help to always do good. May the Democrats never tire of well doing.

the Republicans were in power and they became currupted by power so that why ther in trouble now

Thank You for reading !

The White House strongly opposes the legislation. Paul Bremer, the former U.S. administrator for Iraq, granted contractors immunity from prosecution in an order he signed the day before handing over sovereignty in June 2004.
==================================================

This says it all. The most incompetent idiot ever to serve in the Bush admin., namely Bremer, gave them immunity. The Iraqi people should simply say this won't fly. It's their country and their law apply to the contractors. Take to the UN if Bush says no.

Private armies in the United States; what a concept! My question is; who walked into their compound and asked them to give testimony to congress? The guy that did that has real courage!
So we have a company in the United States that gets paid to make war. I hope this company doesn’t make its way to China like Mattel. We may find there are different ways of getting lead poisoning from China.
All I can say is; I hope they sign the Non-Proliferation treaty. I don’t want a private contractor to have to fire people for poor judgment on the use of nuclear arms.

Since the whole point of taking U.S. enterprise overseas was to evade our restrictions (both civil and criminal) on corporations, it's not surprising that there's an objection to making sub-contractors of the Pentagon subject to U.S. law. They see it as a first step in correcting a gross mistake, and rightly so.
It should be a principle of American law that any U.S. corporation that wants to be recognized as such needs to operate according to American law, regardless of where those operations are. Similarly, the agents of our government need to behave according to the limits put upon them by the Constitution, which makes no distinction between the American and the foreign person. Indeed, the Constitution goes so far as to specify that international treaties, which presumably uphold our standards, are of equal import as the Constitution.

The looming question of our age is; will having private corporations for war operations make war more reasonable to the American people? If we are paying a company to conduct a war, are we still obligated to operate with-in the U.N. charter we accidently constructed thinking other powers had the ability to make war with us?
Will we simply forgo the U.N. charter on making war because we are the only super power on the planet? We need to address this because we are teaching our children about the negatives of imperial power and we had better redefine our values if this is the path our country is to take.

LonelyDemInRepTown:

When it comes to standards and values, Republicans and about 23 Democrats have none and need some.

Note to Obama and Edwards: Step-Up on Iran
by Mike Gravel

I’m glad to see John Edwards and Barack Obama have finally begun to upbraid Hillary Clinton for going along with Bush’s impending attack on Iran. We presidential candidates must keep raising this story because the mainstream media is not doing its job, once again. Two weeks ago, Seymour Hersh exposed the Pentagon’s plans to attack Iran, but the MSM failed to follow up with a sustained inquiry. We presidential candidates must pick up the slack and constantly alert the American public that Bush, Clinton and the go-along Congressional Dems are leading us into another disastrous war.

Despite what Hillary claims, Congress gave Bush the green light to attack Iran when they labeled the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) a terrorist organization. Bush can now attack the IRG as a counter-terrorism measure. All he needs is a “Gulf of Tonkin incident” in Iraq that can be tied to the IRG, and he will begin bombing IRG facilities in Iran. Of course Bush will disregard Hillary’s resolution demanding he check with Congress before attacking Iran. No president since James Polk has felt the need to check with Congress before “defending” American troops.

What makes Hillary believe a congressional resolution will prevent Bush from doing anything? A war on Iran has been a neocon dream for decades and Bush sees himself as a modern-day messiah ridding the world of evil-doers. Throughout his presidency, Bush has consistently disregarded checks and balances. He defied a Supreme Court decision banning torture simply by ordering his Justice Department to secretly issue a go-ahead. (The MSM also dropped this story.)

After Bush launches the planned strikes on the IRG, Iran will hit our naval forces in the Persian Gulf and our troops in Iraq. Within an afternoon, we will be at war. Bush might later ask our rubberstamp Congress for a show of support. But by then any opposition will be moot. The Iranian navy will cut the oil supply of the European economies and a worldwide depression will hit American markets. Other regional powers, including Saudi Arabia and Israel, might be drawn into the war. Within weeks tens of thousands will be dead and that’s only the beginning.

We presidential candidates must do our best to avoid this tragedy by bringing it up constantly. And it’s not enough for my fellow candidates just to challenge Bush and Hillary out on the stump. They must join me in challenging her directly during the debates.

If we immediately and consistently inform the American public what their government is up to, I believe we have a shot at stopping this war. Without any sort of public outcry, we are most certainly heading for disaster.
