Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga said officials planned to move the embassy into the Green Zone. "Backing out in the face of terrorists is the worst possible solution and I trust that the Poles, who are a brave nation, will not desert the battle field," said Poland's prime minister, Kaczynski. "We must fight terrorism and that entails a certain risk."

Who are these Poles? They sound like Americans.

Blackwater knows their business. And appears to be just about the best in the world, if not the best.

They should be now if they weren’t already, but that would require a minor amount of common sense.

Tried to use your link and got one of those big FORBIDDEN warnings.

I think it may have possibly cast an evil spell on my computer.

“Shortly after the assault, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki renewed his government’s offensive against Blackwater.

“There have been 190 victims of Blackwater ... The kind of accusations leveled against the company means it is not fit to work in Iraq,” he told a news conference.”

Translation: “My secret bank account needs more cash”

This guy really needs to be taken to the woodshed. What they hell is he thinking? The first time he complained about Blackwater, maybe he lost his cool, but he still hasn't learned anything?
