So you're calling the US Soldiers who made this report - and used the word, "excessive" - you're calling them "Leftists"? I'm sure they'll appreciate that.
Am I the only one who is troubled that the US government is funding a bunch of Rambo-wannabees who apparently have no accountability for their actions?
They're either with us or against us.

Try again. I was referring to the media and their presentation of the issue, as always, politicizing ANY incident, right or wrong. But how do you judge in a war? You cannot. And that is what I object to.
Maybe these are the “Phony Soldiers” we’ve been warned about.

Check your link - it's THE WASHINGTON POST, and the last I heard they were not a branch of the Armed Services.
You can believe every piece of crap that falls off their desk, but don"t expect everyone else to without independent confirmation.
WAPO is known for their lies, and you're swearing by 'em. Ouch.

Thank you, Moby.
I have no proof (nor do you) whether this is true, whether the person cited is accurately quoted or what the political leaning of that person is. We do have ample evidence that the Washington Post, among others, is not above lying to try to damage our country, particularly our military.
Having said that, you do know what an REMF is, don't you? Are you suggesting that there are none of those in Iraq? Or how about "soldiers" like Scott Beauchamp? Admit it, it does happen and the WaPo would clearly have a tendency to seek out such "sources" for their reports.
There is an active campaign to try to discredit Blackwater as a way to damage our position in Iraq and it is being coordinated between elements in the dinosaur media and Al Qaeda. I'm not questioning their patriotism. I'm flat out calling them traitors.
Unfortunately, our military has there hands tied behind their backs. In this war they are instructed to take fire, they cannot defend themselves against a perceived threat, they are playing all defense.
