    Amerikkkan Invaders

    [...]
    U.S. officials have said a group of American soldiers entered the home of a Sunni family in the insurgent-ridden town of Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad, raped and killed the woman, then set fire to her body and killed three of her family members in an apparent cover-up attempt.

    The Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars condemned the alleged crimes and said "raping this girl then mutilating her is shameful and will remain as a sign of shame to American invaders."
    [...]

    The U.S. military has stressed it is taking the allegations seriously and a criminal investigation has been launched to determine who should stand trial.

    "We can't undo anything that has happened, but we can and will hold accountable anybody found guilty of offenses," military spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Johnson said in an e-mail.

    "Before that happens, we must be given time to conduct a thorough investigation into the facts of what occurred," he said. "The rule of law will prevail in this incident."

    Iraq is a conservative, strongly religious society where many women are sheltered from contacts with males who are not family members.

    "The mean behavior and terrible violations committed by the invaders show the truth of the ugly American face and shows that their claims of supporting humanity and liberation are false," said the Sunni association, a strong critic of U.S.-led efforts in Iraq.
    [...]

    Any US official talking shit promising justice through rule of law might be funny if it weren't so delusional. We have no rule of law in Amerikkka.

    We have George Bush's claims he has more authority to govern than do other branches of government. We have the GOP congress jockeying to approve Bush's move to become king of Amerikkka, even though his effort to consolidate power is against our "laws."

    We have George Bush, moron and front man for big business, deposited on the throne of Amerikkka, after 2 stolen presidential elections, from where he orders and okays illegal activities from domestic spying and illegal detention to murder and preemptive war.

    We have a shattered legal system, scattered like jagged shards of glass atop an even more broken political system. And we have no business in Iraq where we are not fighting a war but are engaging in an illegal and immoral occupation, mass murder and enormous thievery.

    It isn't just that the little barbarians who raped, mutilated and killed this woman and her family need to have their penises cut off before their heads are cut off, the whole Bush administration is engaged in murder and war crimes, are in violation of domestic and international law.

    After Guantanamo, abu Gharib, extraordinary rendition, torture, illegal wire taps that began well before 9/11, domestic spying of other varieties, the constitution destroying patriot act, the lies to get us into war, the knowing escalation of threats to America by promoting policies that do not advance the public interest but do advance the interests of oil companies and other corporate spooks, that anyone in the employ of a fascist, freedom oppressing monster rogue state like the Bush Administration has made America claims rule of law is enough to make me puke.
