Good move. Without security it is suicide.

It sounds as if the Iraqi government has managed to stir up a lot of trouble for itself. Even if civilians were wrongly killed, which seems doubtful, the last thing they need to be doing is to help the terrorist propaganda campaign against America.

Does anyone know the facts on Blackwater's alleged "ejection" from Iraq, which is spread all over the MSM news sources?

I do not believe anyone with a brain would ask Blackwater to leave. The got the job done the other day, and not one client was injured or killed.

How many "innocent" bystanders were killed? How did they decide who was innocent and who were Islamofascists?

More news on this would be apprecited if anyone has a source.

Pull all security of Iraqi “politicians”......
Let THOSE bastards handle their own security....

I’m losing all “compassion” for the Iraqi..
I see Iraq now, as nothing but an excellent baited field for killing Jihadists...

It is also nice and close to Syria and Iran......and the OIL.

"The move came even as the Iraqi government appeared to back down from statements Monday that it had permanently revoked Blackwater's license and would order its 1,000 personnel to leave the country"

Blackwater must have ponied up the baksheesh.

Blackwater is among three private security firms employed by the State Department to protect employees in Iraq, and expelling it would create huge problems for U.S. government operations in this country.

Yep, and Condi apparently called Al Maliki this morning and read him the riot act, hence his spokesman's retreat from earlier statements about throwing Blackwater out of Iraq.

I...can't...say....anything.

Except that there is an exceptional amount of media B.S. floating around this story.
