Liz Cheney is set to launch a new group aimed at rallying opposition to the “radical” foreign policy of the Obama administration which it says has succeeded only in undermining the nation’s security. The new group, “Keep America Safe,” (a non-ProfitFEAR-MONGERINGgroup) will “make the case” against President Barack Obama’s moves to wrench America away from Bush era foreign policy on issues from detaining alleged terrorists at Guantanamo Bay to building a missile shield in Eastern Europe.

Republicans don’t get it. They still cannot or just plain refuse to calculate the damage done by Bush, Cheney and their cohorts during their eight year thieving and murdering dictatorship! Bush’s “Good vs. Evil,” “follow us or get destroyed,” attitude distorted, perverted and tarnished America’s image, almost beyond repair.
Obama is trying hard to clean up the mess Bush and Goons created, and in comes “Mussolini’s” air-head bitch (Liz) — following in the footsteps of thieving, murdering Daddy!
Someone ought to rip-off that pacemaker from his rotting chest! Enough of Cheney!
WASHINGTON: Private contractors hired by the US government have jeopardized security at the American embassy in Kabul with lewd, drunken conduct and an understaffed guard force at a time of rising violence in the Afghan capital, a watchdog group said on Tuesday.
The non-partisan Project on Government Oversight sent US secretary of state Hillary Clinton a letter documenting complaints about guards working for ArmorGroup, North America, and photos of nearly naked men behaving lewdly at their camp.
The firm employs 450 guards to provide security at the Kabul embassy under a five-year, $189 million State Department contract. The department extended the contract in June.
Pictures obtained by the group showed male guards, scantily dressed in G-string style garments, dancing around a bonfire and urinating while others snapped photographs. Video showed them pouring alcohol down the bare backside of a new recruit and trying to drink it as it spilled from the man’s buttocks. [ SEE PICTURES BELOW ]
According to one whistle-blower, these naked pool parties involving sexually deviant acts have been held regularly for at least a year and a half, at the urging of senior officers.
These are the latest of many allegations of misconduct by private security contractors hired by the US government to perform duties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“These are very serious allegations and we are treating them that way,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said at a briefing, adding that the issue had been turned over to the department’s inspector general.
About 150 guards are Americans or from other English-speaking countries. The remaining 300 are identified by the Project on Government Oversight as Gurkhas from India and Nepal who speak little or no English. The group said the language barrier between English-speakers and Gurkhas was so severe it would be difficult for them to communicate in a crisis.
This is ample proof that Abu Ghraib was not an isolated incident. Sexually deviant behavior (accompanied with prisoner torture) amongst US Military personnel and hired guns (guards) who are mostly ex-military, is rampant in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Why?
Because this animal behavior is tolerated and orchestrated by deviant senior military officers — who get a sexual kick out of it. The hierarchical command structure of a military force, especially the most potent one in the world, cannot witness such behavior without putting a stop to it — unless, as in this instance, and many others, the crude animalistic rituals are encouraged and sanctioned by senior military and private militia officials. In fact, in an interview with ABC News, one guard, a U.S. military veteran, said top supervisors of the ArmorGroup were not only aware of the “deviant sexual acts” but helped to organize them.
Torture and sexual abuse are part of a systematic military/militia program deployed by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, unbeknownst to Obama, who is busy fending other menacing tea-bagging hyenas at home front.
The Bush Conservatives worked overtime to portray the events at Abu Ghraib prison, in Iraq, as nothing more than fraternity pranks, and not blatant violations of the Geneva Convention. Right-wing pundits, like Rush Limbaugh, tried to sweep under the rug any investigations into prisoner abuse, whether it was at Abu Ghraib or at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was all an isolated incident involving a few soldiers, the Bush administration said.
The problem with that analysis is this: it was not true then and it’s not now. The Bush torture program is still intact, and it seems Obama thinks it ended — when he decided to holding back thousands of pictures depicting homosexual torture and bestiality — involving guard dogs.
Imperialist torture is nothing new. The Brits were masters at it, and the United States picked up where the European colonialists left of. The British — the greediest land grabbing thieves the world has ever known, ran horrific torture camps. They invaded countries, stole massive tracts land, and imprisoned entire civilian population in detention camps — wherein testicles were crushed, electric shocks were administered, cigarettes and fire were used to wantonly inflict physical and mental suffering on natives. Broken bottles, gun barrels, knives, snakes, vermin and hot eggs were thrust up men’s rectums and women’s vaginas. The British whipped, shot, burned, and mutilated “suspects.”
I am not surprised at the lewd behavior of these “Guards” (soldiers of fortune) — it’s in the DNA — the horrors of European colonialism, the American lynchings during slavery, and the 500 pound bombings on Iraqi civilians in the last eight years, is testament.
To make matters worse, the US military has been granting more waivers to recruits with criminal backgrounds — this process has grown nearly 65 percent in the last five years, increasing to 8,129 in 2006 from 4,918 in 2003 …., Department of Defense records show. The sharpest increase was in waivers issued for serious misdemeanors, which make up the bulk of all the Army’s moral waivers. These include aggravated assault, burglary, robbery and vehicular homicide. The number of waivers issued for felony convictions also increased, from 8 percent to 11 percent of the 8,129 moral waivers granted in 2006. [ Source: New York Times ]
One can only imagine how lax the “for profit” private militia companies like ArmorGroup are in their recruitment process. It must be horrible!
Yes, deviant criminals with a license to kill!!
Before Army Sgt. 1st Class Randal Ruby was accused in Iraq of beating prisoners and of conspiring to plant rifles on dead civilians, he amassed a 10-year criminal record in Colorado and Washington state for assaulting his wife and in Maine for a drunken high-speed police chase, for which he remains wanted.
Before Lance Cpl. Delano Holmes stabbed an Iraqi private to death, angering the soldier’s unit of coalition soldiers, he was hospitalized after threatening suicide in high school, accused of assault, disorderly conduct and trespassing, and, in the months leading up to deployment, twice linked to drug use.
Before Army Spc. Shane Carl Gonyon was convicted of stealing a pistol at Abu Ghraib prison, he was convicted twice on felony charges and arrested four times, once for allegedly giving a 13-year-old girl marijuana in exchange for oral sex. He enlisted weeks after his release from a federal prison in Oregon.
The lax regulations have also opened the military’s doors to neo-Nazis, white supremacists and gang members — with drastic consequences. Some neo-Nazis have been charged with crimes inside the military, and others have been linked to recruitment efforts for the white right. A recent Department of Homeland Security report, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” stated: “The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.”
Therefore, it should not surprise anyone that a sizeable chunk of “America’s Finest” are dangerous criminals, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and tea-bagger terrorists out to lynch anyone who doesn’t look like them — and while doing so, involve themselves in lewd, sexually deviant and animalistic acts as we see in the pictures below, and previously in Abu Ghraib:
From The Guardian: One of the suspects was assassinated as part of a wider programme against al-Qaeda under the Bush administration. The CIA withheld information from Congress about a secret counterterrorism program on orders from Cheney, a leading U.S. senator said on July 12. Ex-CIA officials say foreign leaders were also in dark. Investigation demanded into post-9/11 strategy
By KEVIN J KELLY and FRED MUKINDA
The US sent its military to Kenya to hunt down and kill suspected terrorists… without the knowledge of the Kenya government, according to a UK newspaper.
The Guardian on Tuesday reported that one of the suspects was assassinated as part of a wider programme against al-Qaeda under the Bush administration.
The assassination turned out to be a “severe embarrassment” and may have contributed to the termination of the programme, the newspaper said. However, security sources in government who spoke to the Nation on Tuesday said they were not aware of such an operation.
Kenya has over the years maintained close ties with the US in the fight against terrorism with the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit being a large beneficiary of US funds.
The cooperation, for instance, saw a man suspected of being a member of al-Qaeda arrested in Mogadishu by the Americans and brought to Nairobi in 2003.
Kenyan police also surrendered to the US a suspect who had been arrested in Kenya in 2007 and was eventually flown to the US-run Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba.
The Guardian did not identify the victim of the US killing in Kenya and based its report on an unmanned former intelligence official who, it said, “did not give details of the operation.”
An official close to the government security operations but who requested not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter said a terror suspect was killed in the Ras Kamboni area across the border in Somalia in circumstances that were not clear. The official did not elaborate.
US attempts to kill suspected terrorists in Somalia using missiles fired from drones, warships and submarines, are not secret and have been widely reported.
In January 2003, Mr William Munuhe, believed to be an informer for the Federal Bureau of Investigations, was shot dead in his house in Karen.
He had been involved in the investigation into the whereabouts of Rwandan genocide fugitive Felicien Kabuga and it is not clear whether his is the case in question.

Attorney General Amos Wako said: “We are not aware of the operation. Security intelligence people may know but the AG is not aware.”
And police spokesman Eric Kiraithe said: “No such operation could have been planned with the knowledge of the Kenya police because that would be conspiracy to murder.”
The assassination programme has been in the news after it was revealed that the spy agency did not brief US legislators as required by law. The programme was recently cancelled and the CIA said it never progressed beyond the planning stage.
However, The Guardian reported that while the CIA did not proceed with the plan, the US military, which does not need to inform Congress every time it goes out to kill enemies, did.
Former US vice-president Dick Cheney ordered the killing project hidden from MPs because it pushed the limits of legality by planning to assassinate suspects in friendly countries without the knowledge of their governments, The Guardian said.
Bush’s criminal intent that needs to be shown, malice aforethought, could be proven by demonstrating that Bush took American soldiers to war with “reckless and wanton disregard for the consequences and indifference to human life.” Bush did not act in defense of the nation in starting the war, knowing all too well that Saddam Hussein was no threat to this country, and had no role in the attacks of 9/11 — Vincent Bugliosi, Former Prosecutor and Author of: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder (Vanguard Press, 2008)
[ Enlarge Picture ] Dan Spielberg: In his book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder (Vanguard Press, 2008), Vincent Bugliosi, the man who successfully prosecuted Charles Manson for murder, argues convincingly that President George W. Bush’s conduct in taking the U.S. military to war against Iraq under false pretenses in March of 2003 qualifies him to be prosecuted for murder in any state in the nation. The victims in the case would be all the soldiers from that state that were killed in the war against Iraq.
He lays out his case in a devastatingly logical and methodical manner, weaving together all the relevant facts to paint the definitive portrait of just how reckless and criminal was the behavior of President Bush in his push for war against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
Famous for his true crime books, such as the book about Charles Manson that launched his literary career, Helter Skelter, Bugliosi shows us that he is still in fine form.
The legal definition of murder, as Bugliosi tells us, is “the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.” Under the law, for there to be a true crime committed the two elements of a prohibited act (actus reus) and criminal intent (mens rea) must coexist in time. According to Bugliosi’s legal argument, Bush’s act in this case would be his sending U.S. troops to Iraq, resulting in the death of some 4,000 of them.
The criminal intent that would need to be shown, malice aforethought, could be proven by demonstrating that Bush took them to war with “reckless and wanton disregard for the consequences and indifference to human life.”
The only legal defense that could be mounted against charges like this would be that Bush acted in defense of the nation.
In order to prove that Bush did not act in defense of the nation in starting the war, knowing all too well that Saddam Hussein was no threat to this country, and had no role in the attacks of 9/11, Bugliosi takes us on a painful walk down memory lane. [ READ MORE ]
War Mongerer/Criminal Dick Cheney wants America to be hit again. He and fellow SOCIOPATHS in the party of “TAXCUTS and TORTURE” have become a condemnable nuisance. President Obama should act! Prosecute Cheney and his torture co-conspirators now!
Politico: Reversing weeks of White House resistance to the idea, President Barack Obama said Tuesday he?s open to creating a blue-ribbon panel to investigate Bush administration excesses during the war on terror.
“If and when there needs to be a fuller accounting of what took place during this period, I think for Congress to examine ways that it can be done in a bipartisan fashion, outside of the typical hearing process that can sometimes break down and break entirely along party lines, … that would probably be a more sensible approach to take,” Obama said during an Oval Office press availability with King Abdullah of Jordan.
Obama stopped short of endorsing the “truth commission” idea, which has been advanced in recent months by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) [ READ MORE ]
ANALYSIS:
It is very clear that Dick Cheney want’s America to be HIT again by terrorists, for political gain — to justify the crimes he committed while vice-president in the criminal Bush administration.
While Obama is trying very hard to clean up the Republican mess, Cheney like a big hungry RAT keeps on rearing his ugly head, out of his shit-hole, to lecture on how President Obama is “weakening” the country.
At the same time, Republican media thinks torture is a laughing matter. Numerous conservative media figures have downplayed, mocked, and jeered the notion that the use on detainees of harsh interrogation techniques authorized by the recently released Justice Department memos constitutes torture.
