U.S. "Progress" Report: Dumb-Ass Moves 101

In addition to the numerous testimonials of Iraqi civilians and military police (including the morally-aligned US military officers who are really trying to do the right thing), accusing US troops of last April's civilian massacre in Haditha, there are now reports of a 3rd civilian killing administered by US troops.

The United States's notorious reputation for imperialistic invasions, plundering, bloodshed and dictatorial inculcation with disasterous consequences is now commonplace and anticipated when it comes to the agenda that drives US foreign policy.

Is it any wonder that the US is a primary terrorist target?
The Bush administration has clearly gotten this country (and the UK) into something it clearly cannot get out of without considering the significant long-term physical and psychological reprocussions.

Here are some more dumb-ass moves the US has initiated, which continues to compromise national security. Within the past 6 months alone, we've seen the Bush administration:

• Drag their feet in prosecuting US troops accused of heinous war crimes, George Bush, Jr. repeatedly appoint underqualified multi-millionaire friends, former corporate executives, and media moguls to high profile cabinet positions that have significant impacts on the lives of working class American citizens (and global citizens).
• United Nations international laws are repeatedly broken or ignored by the Bush administration.
• US troops are exempt from facing war tribunals.
• Prisoners of war and people captured under the Patriot Act are essentially imprisioned and guilty until proven innocent, or until the war against the axis of evil is over.
• As if our military and financial resources aren't compromised enough, the US continues to administer bold threats to Iran if they do not agree to suspend their uranium enrichment program. What nation has ever imposed its desire to enforcement containment standard on the United States when it comes to our government's nuclear arms supplies?
• Homeland Security Funding is cut significantly(Could it be the enormous multi-billion-dollar costs of this war?)

Let's face it folks, our nation's track record is deplorable. As George W. Bush's public opinion polls steadily decline, the rate at which neighboring countries are getting pissed off, steadily rises--not to mention the increased vulnerability the US faces in terrorism exposure.
Wasn't the point of this war to catch Bin Laden and secure our borders, airports and ports?

Still Confused,
Me.
