hopefully it will be hillary! she would be a good learning curve.
The Iragis decided not to renew Blackwaters license in operate in Iraq so it’s a moot point.
I think that’s GREAT - now Wm Ayers can start his own “protection” firm for his buddy, Obama, and all the great “diplomats” of this admin (Mitchell, Holbrook, etc) can have a REAL, experienced group of ex-terrorists protecting them. It suits...
Oh great.. what, are we going to have State Department analysts strap on some guns and protect VIPs, trucks, diplomats, etc now?
This isn’t the big deal the MSM is making it out to be. It was inevitable the contract would end, and given the ‘surge’ worked, that made it this time around, rather than later.
Just a MSM hit piece in short. Blackwater’s financial future is assured, not doubt about it.
No problem. Obama is dialoging with the terrorists, so the diplomats no longer need protection.
We should start a betting pool, as to who the Dems will blame when diplomats get attacked in Iraq come June.
Probably just as well. The new SOFA has folks working over there paying local taxes, and (worst of all) providing all kinds of very personal information to a potentially hostile government.
Nope, let state and DSS handle the heavy lifting from now, they have the black passports!
Whoever takes over will either 1) hire BW’s people and rent the hardware, or 2) subcontract the work to BW.
Hopefully by May the positions should be all filled with Obama lackeys.
Good ones.
And they've been working here through the Hell Years.
Is ACORN replacing Blackwater?
I remember all the state employees whining about having to pull hazardous duty..... cause they might get hurt.
Hey, it's not our country. If Iraq refused to grant them a license to do business then there is nothing the U.S. can do about it.
Relace the Blackwater personnel with ACORN wankers.
Blackwater's contract was to protect State and CIA people. Considering that both did a lot to screw the troops and America based on politics, it's karma.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but shouldn’t they be contracted to guard the U.S. Mexican border?
Fine with me.
Hmmmm...what did we ever do without Blackwater in the past?
