i am amazed that you are allowed on this website using the so called signature you employ-being a zionist=waiting for Messiah to return and establish His government on the earth and overcome the enemies of His people-the jews and making jerusalem His capital city on the earth- i resent it-in canada it would fall under a hate crime to employ such language-so you want us to think that being attacked and murdered is normal for us to accept when its muslim extremists that are doing it to us and that we should just sit around waiting to be murdered?olmert has all kinds of bodyguards to protect him from harm-so he might think this is normal to happen to other jews in israel at the moment while he tries to get famous as a great peacemaker. if i were him i'd drive every muslim off/out of israels G-D given land-----we americans and british dont think this is normal-to sit around and be a target without doing something about it---yet.my opinion of the usa staying in iraq to try and maintain peace between murderers is that it is a waste of time /money and american and its allies lives-we should pull out and take with us those than are normal and leave the murderers on both sides to go at it.why should we be a referee to a religious hate campaign?by the way i hate no one-not even muslims but i hate stupidity and not using common sense and i've got no use for murderers and those that think its normal behaviour to not love their neighbors as themselves.

What a disgrace Udio when our tax payer money goes for the profiteers of the Iraq war, but our men and women in the military after coming home with wounds that are mental and not physical have to beg for government support and care.

Now, Blackwater is back in the news, providing a reminder of just how privatized the war has become. On Tuesday, one of the company’s helicopters was brought down in one of Baghdad’s most violent areas. The men who were killed were providing diplomatic security under Blackwater’s $300-million State Department contract, which dates to 2003 and the company’s initial no-bid contract to guard administrator L. Paul Bremer III in Iraq. Current U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who is also protected by Blackwater, said he had gone to the morgue to view the men’s bodies, asserting the circumstances of their deaths were unclear because of “the fog of war.”

Nice one ,Doc, and here was I sitting in my western european home looking at Fox,CNN ,AlJazeera, & Sky news ,thinking I was going insane,as I thought I was living in 4 or 5 differant worlds, One world (Fox) was headlining about some has been called OJ,another was headlining about Britney somebody, Sky was on about a crumbling bank (Northern Rock),Al jazeera was on about Darfur.Now I know that the american networks are not allowed talk about Iraq,in case americans might figure out whats really going on there.At least the canadians had the balls to show their dead being brought home, and they are supposed to be wimps!!. I really thought that your taxes were paying your army ,yeah right,!!!!.But you are really financing Blackwater, Haliburton, and several others, all with a vested interest in prolonging the situation for the maximum period,all in the name of profits for the friends of dubya and the oil moguls.Your killed and maimed troops are only incidentals on a much bigger picture. Remember that the oil companies lost billions a few years ago when oil sold at under $10 abarrell,the retired chief executive of none other than Shell Industries is on record as saying that at that time they expected oil to rise ,not fall, he also has said that their was a concious decision made then that they would never be caught napping again, and what has happened oil has risen inexorably since and the oil companies intend to make sure that it stays rising, why? because like air & water we can't do without it,the water is cheaper at the moment , the air is still free ,if a bit #ty,but they are working on screwing it up for us. The reality of fact that oil is a finite resource has begun to dawn on all of them,and who is going to use the last barrell of oil in the world,good ol USA . Why are we destroying the planet and our childrens future, greed, pure and unadultrated greed, be under no illusions,The NWO is not some fantasy, it is a fact and a reality unfolding before our very eyes on an hourly basis.
The youth of the world are becoming more and more hardened and callous, not by accident but by design, in preparation for the day when survival at any cost will be all that matters. You aint seen nothing yet.

This reminds me of the movie Three Kings with Marky Mark and Ice Cube. The part at the beginning where there is an Iraqi on a hill with a rifle and Marky Mark gets him in his sights and takes a minute to ask "Are we shooting people?" and after asking two times he finally shoots the enemy. Private contractors don't have to ask those questions they know what to do.
Private contractors do the gritty jobs that have to be done. The jobs the government has to have done but wont do because they are worried about what the news will spin it into or what the public will say. It is crazy that soldiers have to think about the news and everything else when they are over there fighting. Some don't know whether to fill out a form or shot first. There is just too much news coverage of the war and how it is run. Personally I think war should not be covered on TV like it is. There is no such thing as a politically correct war. I would say 99% of news from the war has a spin and has specific details left out to get the public to lean toward the popular agenda that week.

I'm not all for mercenaries I'm just not under the misconception that war is fair and soldiers can go into battle and both sides be happy .

If you look at BW employees in a different light because they get paid so much look at what they have to risk.. Now name someone that is involved in this war that is not making money. Everyone from the the President all the way down to private first class Gomer Pile gets theirs. The only exception is some get more than others.

Chalk up another one. What are we up to now?

All I'm saying is what I saw on CNN. It's like you said, it depends on who you talk to in the Iraqi government. That shows that their government is about as consistent as ours.

I also noticed the bit at the end of that article.

However, the Iraqi official also said he had spoken with at least two cabinet members about yesterday's shooting and that some in the government have "been upset about Blackwater for a while now. They want them to get out," said the advisor.

It does sound like it was a "last straw" and they are using this incident to try to revoke their license.
