Don’t ever assume that Obama will have any say when certain operators within that company are tried in a court of law because of a some off the reservation behavior resulting in bad kills or mental impairment in a war zone.

If you cut out the subcontracting, the SF troopers will stay in just to be there with the toys.

^ you like me to say?  Poot Lao! (spoke already, in Thai language).  See below!

Both Hillary and Barack need to be more clear about usage of Blackwater-type mercenary forces in foreign conflicts. Hillary spoke out a little, and Obama has said very, very little about Blackwater. I need unequivocal intent to use a lot less of these kinds of forces, if any at all, because they aren’t accountable to anyone, and are morally bankrupt. It’s wrong, and isn’t something to be pondered over in a political sense.

Baracks got the guts to pursue legal action against Bush, but not against Blackwater? That doesn’t make sense. Speak up, already!

^ evidence that the Emperor’s Sardikar Killers (oops, that’s from “Dune”, sorry), I mean security forces can in fact kill with impunity with no consequences.  The name is apropos as well.  Very telling……,but then; who cares?

Either disband the DSS or expand them and get the mercenaries out of it.

If the U.S.military can’t do the job, we need to leave. We shouldn’t be there in the first place! The last time I checked, our constitution does not make provisions for making a buck off of people’s suffering, which is exactly what Blackwater is doing.Check out the video “Iraq for Sale”, it’s a good indictment of Blackwater and all private contractors in general. Their ONLY concern is profit, even at the expense of American lives. After all; if we’re lazy enough to let them do it, why should they stop?

So Patrick Kennedy stated that if the paid killers were to be removed, we would have to leave Iraq. And this is a problem because? Those people have a right to decide if they want invaders occupying their country. How would people in America feel if some other countries elected leaders on some power trip of a wet dream decided it was time to come into America and do what the Bush/Cheney administration has done in Iraq only over here?

Hasn’t the world and it’s people everywhere suffered enough from this buffoon and his minions mistakes already? Time for a change about 180 degrees opposite from the current course of Bushco’s incompetence.

Mercenaries!

“...its contract to provide security for American diplomats in Iraq for at least another year.”

“We cannot operate without private security firms in Iraq,” said Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management. “If the contractors were removed, we would have to leave Iraq.”
===================================
On the above two quoted statements from this piece, I would like to make the following comments:

1. There is no such thing as American diplomats in Iraq. Americans in Iraq are either hated occupiers, mercenaries or war-mongers.

2. The so-called “contractors” is a nice way to cover up the fact that those mercenaries are the backbone of the American marauders and occupiers of Iraq. That’s why Patrick Kennedy correctly says (and this is one time when an American official is not making a lie), “If the contractors were removed, we would have to leave Iraq.”

3. One well kept secret about those mercenaries is that among them there are at least 20 thousand Israelis, who entered with the first occupying forces, and they will stay there as long as it takes to destroy Iraq beyond recovery. Those Israelis are mostly in charge of kidnapping and liquidating the Iraqi scientists, besides all other unholy missions.

I think we can turn Kennedy’s remarks around into one of the more pragmatic arguments for withdrawing from Iraq:
