Blackwater president Gary Jackson told the AP the company has plans to remove its nearly two dozen aircraft and 1,000 security contractors from Iraq within 72 hours of receiving such an order. "If they tell us to leave, we'll pack it up and go," Jackson said.

I don't see this as an insurmountable task, even replacing these security agents with our troops if need be. I beleive Blackwater did a good job, and I do not think they are to blame for those 17 deaths. It's easy to call everyone a civilian when the combatants don't wear uniforms and blend in with the public. Every person our armed forces killed in Iraq could be called civilians. They may have been armed combatants too, but they were civilians. Of course you and I and the rest of the civilized world refers to them by their proper name, as terrorists. That doesn't mean the world's leading leftists will. It doesn't mean that those with an axe to grind in Iraq will. No, these are poor innocent civilians killed by the thuggish occupiers, the armed forces of the United States. Bull ---t!
