Any bets some lower level state dept liberal clintonistas have been giving the Maliki government "marching orders" to take down blackwater ????

If they pull this off, a WHOLE lot of Iraqi politicians, government officials, diplomats and VIPs are going to die..

In the confusion — all sorts of assassinations are likely to occur.... Hell, it might make the murder of Fat Sadr, not only possible but it could be blamed on the chaos of the situation...

Hmmmmm.... Maybe this IS a good idea.

Iraqi authorities want the U.S. government to sever all contracts in Iraq with Blackwater USA within six months.

..and the people who want victory in the United States want the Iraqi government to stand on their own and stop playing the poor Muslim victim. Start by cleaning up the insurgents and dumping their bullet ridden sorry a$$ed carcasses on the other side of their respective borders. Then concentrate real hard and clean up your corrupt government and stop wasting American lives and resources.

I find myself wondering why the hell the U.S. would allow Iraq to form a government and establish a constitution before it was even remotely capable of maintaining its own secure environment.

I also find myself wondering what the hell the legal status of a "mercenary" force like Blackwater has in a foreign country.

Think of them like a headhunter that bundles people to corporations.....in this case Blackwater is the headhunter and State Dept is the corporation......and the bundle project is security engineering and validation.

Then take our military and our contractors out of there and only protect our people as opposed to protecting them. Perhaps they will then understand “about to die.” This current B-S is only political and not for real. If it were for real they are committing suicide, which we all now know they are balless to do.

"— also called on U.S. authorities to hand over the Blackwater security agents involved in the Sept. 16 shootings to face possible trial in Iraqi courts."

They're beginning to sound like the DNC now...
They and the DNC are more willing to do battle against our warriors than against the enemy!

Right - we'll turn them over just as soon as the Iraqi government turns over the bastards that have been killing our guys from ambush....

I'm becoming a disbeliever we can EVER establish anything in Iraq worthy of the cost -- or that we can EVER rely upon any Islamic republic as a long term reliable ally in the war against militant Islam and the terrorists they have produced and continue to produce...

How about establishing Condi’s one billion dollar embassay in Baghdad? How long do you think it will last when the troops leave? Can we hold her liable for the cost? Stupid is as stupid does.

Blackwater is just one of many "security" groups currently involved in Iraq

Why blame it on Blackwater? What the hell are a bunch of US politicians doing in Iraq anyway?

Why?

Blackwater is needed, and Iraqi’s need to learn to get out of the way when they hear sirens. It is as simple as that.

We have to get out of the way when we hear police and fire engne sirens.

You guys are thinking along exactly the same lines I am. I mean, Jesus Christ... does Maliki, et al. have a direct hot line to Reid and Pelosi’s talking points FAX machine?

Maliki was shut down on this point last week. Now the rats have latched onto it and two seconds later Maliki picks the thread up again??? Time to cut the phony Americans (see my tagline) off at the knees and slap our puppets silly until they get into their thick wooden noggins who exactly is holding the strings.

I got a problem with my $$$$ going to the enemy.
But mercs are good.
That’s what Ross used!

..all in all there’s about 60 different “groups”, or as some like to be know as “risk management” firms hired to participate in Iraq. I might add from all different countries, the UK, South Africa,Australia, it really is nothing new. Just another thing for the MSM and Rats to fondle themselves over.

Your query is on point, the State Dept. is inhabited by career leftists...which is why Bush could have been more effective if he had cleaned house of all the the leftists before moving forward on any issue. I hope the GOP has learned how important this subject is....

If Blackwater leaves, everyone leaves.
