It's doesn't matter what the 'American' experts say, Bush handed the USA Military over to the Iraqi government years ago. He openly stated the USA Military will stay as long as the Iraqi government wants them. That's hideous for a Commander and Chief to turn over 130,000 troops to a still anarchic government. It's completely irresponsible. When the Iraqis took sovereignty back from Bush our military should have left as well. In all honesty, as in the Phillipines or Japan or any other corner of the world, the sovereign country has a right to take custody of those soldiers that broke the law if their investigations lead to indictments. Quite frankly, the Iraqi government doesn't exert their authority to demand jurisdiction over the proceedings including the Generals, The Secretary of Defense and The Commander and Chief.
The issue is in the hands of the Iraq government, not the USA Military. We don't belong in Iraq. We never did. These atrocities did not take place on USA military bases, they occured in the streets of Iraq.

Abu Ghraib occurred while Bush still owned Iraq after the invasion and is why they all received a slap on the wrist and/or were scapegoated to save USA authority. I don't know a better reason for a central Iraq government except to demand justice for "W"rongful killings.

John Roberts keeps 'blowing off' the incidents as nothing but politics in both countries. Like what? Do the deaths of people mean anything to him?
I'm not impressed with Cooper's replacement. He tries to 'out class' the cover up by smoothing it over as politics. How irresponsible is that?
I have an assignment for John Roberts. List any and all subjects in Iraq and the USA that are not politics. I doubt people are dying on any side of the war for the case of politics, Mr. Roberts. I am keeping them honest. We should all be so lucky.
