finally a light bulb went off (in my otherwise empty dome)

our government WANTS organizations like blackwater around. the us military has certain codes and rules and laws they must abide by. they are held accountable. gangs like blackwater DO NOT have rules and laws nor are they held accountable. it's PERFECT!

now iraq may say they are going to kick blackwater OUT. they may even THINK they are kicking blackwater out. they will not be. perhaps a few men will be sent home. no one knows how many are over there to begin with. they'll ALWAYS be there. why, because WE don't want them out and after all, iraq is now OUR country

Iraq Probe of U.S. Security Firm Grows
Blackwater, Accused of Killing 11 on Sunday, Cited in Earlier Deaths

By Joshua Partlow and Sudarsan RaghavanWashington Post Foreign Service
BAGHDAD, Sept. 21 -- Iraq's probe into a deadly shooting by Blackwater USA in Baghdad last weekend has expanded to include allegations about the security firm's involvement in six other violent episodes this year that left at least 10 Iraqis dead.
The incidents include the killing of three guards at a state-run media complex and the shooting death of an Iraqi journalist outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Brig. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf, chief spokesman for the Interior Ministry. Iraqi officials say these violent encounters have made them increasingly frustrated with Blackwater's conduct in Iraq, but the government backed away Friday from its attempt to expel the company. Blackwater has said its guards acted appropriately in the weekend incident, but it did not respond to requests for comment Friday on the other episodes cited by Khalaf. ...........
