    Blackwater now found to have disarmed american soldiers...?

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21163806/site/newsweek/




    "in which an SUV full of Blackwater operatives had crashed into a U.S. Army Humvee on a street in Baghdad's Green Zone. The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint until they could disentangle the SUV"

      Apparently they got kicked out of Iraq when the Interior Minister or something pulled their visa.

      Good riddance I guess. I wonder how long before they're operating on American soil :tinfoil:

          What makes me sick is this government pays Blackwater millions/billions of dollars so they can pay their guys 125k a year while a soldier makes $1200 a month to do the same job. Where are this Countries priorities?
          Due to the objections of a certain Canadian, this space is now for rent.

              Well that 125k doesn't show up on the books like the 1200 does, nor do the numbers of people making tha 125k who are killed. That's the problem with basically lying about what a war will cost and not taking care of the political end of it as far as justification. You have to hide what you are really doing.

                      Iran is Next

                      Make no mistake, Iran is next on the list.
                      Oh and dont think that it will matter which of the two pathetically corrupt parties gets in the white house in 08, because it wont matter. They are all in it for the same end.
