Well Bu$hit will bring the Blackwater group back, enhance them,change the color of their clothes and like any other operation in Iraq, send them back in and he will give them a new name. Something like “TRANQUIL WATERS SECURITY”. After all he manages to keep coming up with new names for all the b.s. missions in Iraq,this is no different.

Farmertx,

On this, I think you’re right on the money. (no pun intended).

...."This leads me to expect that Blackwater USA will cease operations and a “new” contractor will take their place. Obviously, the front men now in Iraq would have to be replaced to give a semblance of truth to the ‘new’ company."…

There will be a cosmetic do-over of Blackwater, (they may even change the name) but all else will remain the same.

Meantime, Condi’s the one that had to call Maliki, to apologize, and promise an “investigation”. (laught out loud) and say that it will never happen again, (until the next time they get caught, since Blackwater and other contractors have been killing Iraqis since the beginning).

I don’t think the Iraqis are going for it though. (well, THEY never have). But even Maliki now realizes that all of those promises the Shrub made to him, (about making him and his friends rich off of their own oil)was just a bunch of bullshit, and that he got fooled the same as the rest of us. Except of course he fooled bush as well, once he realized what was going on, and he’s since been able to play both ends against the middle. (Maliki that is). Iran and the Shrub.

Meantime, Condi and the Shrub, (based on her lack of any diplomatic skills) have managed to make Iran far more powerful in the region, than they would otherwise be.

Golly Maude! Who says we’re not making progress. These digs are just like the Motel 8 back in Muncie Indiana!

must be awful for those living in the green zone. they can no longer stroll through the markets or attend the many cultural events baghdad has to offer. maybe katie couric will lend out her personal body armor.

Quick, and John McCain over there, so he can walk around and show everybody how great things really are.

Finally, an honest democrat explains why there is no push to get out of Iraq from Pelosi et als.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Rep. Jim Moran, D-Virginia, is under fire from members of his own party for recent comments claiming a major Jewish public action committee was behind the push to invade Iraq in 2003.

In the September issue of the Jewish magazine Tikkun, Moran is sharply critical of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), saying “AIPAC is the most powerful lobby and has pushed this war from the beginning. I don’t think they represent the mainstream of American Jewish thinking at all, but because they are so well organized… they have been able to exert power.”

AIPAC tells CNN it has taken no position on the Iraq war.
This last comment is laughable. Stenny Hoyer immediately called for Moran to retract. Now that’s a democrat who knows what side his bread is buttered on. Vote Kucinich or Ron Paul via write in if needs be.

I am somewhat surprised that Shrub hasn’t called Malaki on the carpet and explained Shrubs’ version of how the cow ate the cabbage. Imagine the nerve of these people, acting like they were a sovereign, independent Nation, with the ability to choose their own destiny.
This leads me to expect that Blackwater USA will cease operations and a “new” contractor will take their place. Obviously, the front men now in Iraq would have to be replaced to give a semblance of truth to the ‘new’ company.
At least this ban on travel has lightened the amount of soiled underclothes that must be washed at the Embassy. Maybe the laundry can go to once a day service, rather than continuos operations. At Halliburtons’ rates, that ought to save a couple hundred thousand bucks a day.
