Blackwater USA is a private military company and security firm founded in 1997 by Erik Prince and Al Clark. It is based in the U.S. state of North Carolina, where it operates a tactical training facility that it claims is the world's largest. The company trains more than 40,000 people a year, from all the military services and a variety of other agencies. The company markets itself as being "The most comprehensive professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world". At least 90% of its revenue comes from government contracts, two-thirds of which are no-bid contracts.
I guess this could be considered America's al-Quaida.
They are bushys hired guns.
His personal band of mercenaries.
Assassins.
Thugs.
Schoolyard bullies.
Who are now up to their asses in trouble for killing 10 people and wounding 13 civilian Iraqi’s.
bush said Thursday he was saddened by the loss of life when private security contractors opened fire in Baghdad which apparently makes it all better in this idiots pea sized brain.
The killings happened Sunday when shooting broke out in a Baghdad neighborhood where Blackwater security contractors were present.
"Evidently some innocent lives were lost. And my thoughts and prayers go out to the families," bush said.
Um-hmm. Evidently asshole.
Iraqis say that civilians were killed, while Blackwater insists their guarding convoy came under attack from insurgents, apparently throwing stones and kicking dirt at them because no weapon was recovered.
NOT ONE!
The shooting deaths came amid keen debate in Washington over the future of US strategy in Iraq, with critics demanding that US troops be withdrawn.
bush has vowed to stay the course but also reiterated Thursday his frustration with what he sees as a lack of political and legislative progress by Iraq's fragile government to reconcile and stabilize the country.
"People are sick and tired of murder and violence, and ... they expect their local governments and their central government to be more responsive to their needs," he said, citing comments made to him by reconstruction teams in Iraq.
"Clearly, there needs to be work there ... There needs to be the passage of law," he added.
"For example, we strongly believe that an oil revenue sharing law will send a message to Sunni, Shia and Kurd alike that there is an effort at the national level to achieve reconciliation."
So there you finally have it. The real reason for all the fighting.
Oil revenues.
Gee what a surprise.
The dark underbelly of America contains numerous warts, boils, and cancerous tumors, inflicted by that loathsome grimoire of madness that the elected leaders of our nation have become.
Well, I'm FedUp and I'm not taking it any more!

Liberals got women the right to vote.
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation.
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare.
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
What did the ignorant conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things.
Every damn one!
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.
