Let that be a warning, military personnel. If you want to murder and destroy and otherwise cause chaos in the lives of others without being held accountable/responsible, THEN GET ELECTED FIRST!

GWB and his henchmen, along with thousands of other “authorities” around the world, routinely make decisions that result in death and destruction. You don’t find them charged with anything, do you?

“Spc. Juston R. Graber, 20, of the 101st Airborne Division was charged with one count of premeditated murder, one count of attempted premeditated murder, one count of conspiracy to commit murder, and making a false official statement.”

WHICH OF THE CHARGES LISTED DO NOT APPLY EQUALLY AS WELL TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH?
