Blackwater is no where near anything like the Nazi''s. I find it pretty pathetic that you Americans who are supposed to support your country belive the *** in the news, and everything the Iraqi''s are saying. If you want to stick up for them so badly, move there. Don''t forget about how many Americans, and non-Americans, they have killed! And how many more they have threatned to torture and kill. Think before you speak folks!

I''m waiting for the day a true American hero, a US Army officer, orders his troops to take out a Blackwater death squad to protect Iraqi civilians from their bullets. The Iraqis would be so grateful it might just trigger a turning point in securing Iraq.

OK, let me get this straight. Blackwater mercenaries forced AMERICANS in NEW ORLEANS to give up their weapons, bypassing the 4th amendment to the Bill of Rights guaranteeing our right to bear arms to defend ourselves (from private military militias like them), but they ALSO are the ones in Iraq killing people at will, and they face NO penalty but being sent back home with a small fine and lose their job - for killing someone without warrant?

HOW IS THAT CHRISTIAN? OR JUST? OR MORAL?

IMPEACH dammit, this Prince guy''''s company was selected by the Bush administration.

Lars008,,,,, The main plank in the Nazi Party was to attack liberals -
--- Adolph Hitler was a pure right-wing conservative bent on destroying liberalism by claiming to be a Christian protector of the people.
--- "The main plank in the Nationalist Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood." -- Adolph Hitler

But with regard to non-Muslims who are at war with the Muslims and do not have a peace treaty with the Muslims or are not living under Muslim rule, then Muslims are commanded to kill them, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
%u201CFight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you%u201D [al-Tawbah 9:123]

The atheist who does good deeds is worse than the one who kills his mother and takes care of dogs
What is the reason for people not believing in God being punished? I read that good deeds of such people will not be accepted. So if someone does all he can do to help people and be useful to the society, he will be punished nevertheless if he did not believe in God. But what exactly is the reason of punishing a good man for his atheism?

Lars008,,,,, LOOK WHO TARGETED CIVILIANS

About 125,000 Jews left Iraq for Israel in the late 1940s and into 1952, most because they had been lied to and put into a panic by what I came to learn were Zionist bombs.
Bacteriological Warfare

The Haganah put typhus bacteria into the water going to Acre, the people got sick, and the Jewish forces occupied Acre. This worked so well that they sent a Haganah division dressed as Arabs into Gaza, where there were Egyptian forces, and the Egyptians caught them putting two cans of bacteria, typhus and dysentery, into the water supply in wanton disregard of the civilian population.

The lack of legal accountability for contractors is a big problem. In Bosnia Dyncorp contractors were caught raping child *** slaves, but they too were spirited out of the country and never punished! See http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2002/06/26/bosnia/index.html

The number of Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq is a small percentage of the massive army that is being churned out in North Carolina. There are *rumors* now floating around that this army will be used to fill in for National Guardsmen sent to Iraq. Therefore first responders to a domestic terror attack would be Blackwater mercenaries, who''s recruits are the lowest of the low. And don''t argue against that. All that is needed to entrench these death squads in our cities is a moderate attack, which can be staged by "anyone". It is such a simple plan. And what is the motivation, the mission? Weed out anyone who doesn''t fit the Christian/Republican agenda and create a pristine "City upon the hill" in time for the coming apocalypse? Does all this sound crazy? Is it any crazier than the events of the last 6 years and up to this moment?

CBS NEws: ''Blackwater immediately arranged to have the U.S. State Department fly the 26-year-old contractor back to the United States, fired him and fined him, and paid the slain guard''s family $15,000.''

-Isn''t it great? a man''s life''s worth one month of ''drinking and work'' with Bleakwater. BleakWater will know a bleak fate. Hopefully their service purchasers too.

Whoever determined that this mercenary force is immune to any liability under US Military law, US law or Iraq law for their actions should be held responsible for all crimes committed by this group. It should be considered that they took full responsibility the force and its actions.

My ex-wife has a swastika on her birth certificate. Her dad was a clerk to the SS in Poznan, Poland. She tells me that the mindset behind Blackwater structuring and social interaction is terribly similar to that of German SS formation and thinking in the 1940s.

Investigate? Who will investigate--the FBI? The folks who "mistakenly" wiretapped US citizens right and left under instructions from Bushit and Gonzo?

This is how a secret army, a secret police force, accountable to nobody except Bushit and the people who own and operate Bushit, comes into being.

And a Blackwater employee makes $90K for 6 months--$180K per year, while uniformed US soldiers get about $20K a year? What a nice fat payoff of taxpayer money to the Endtimers. But not to worry, much of that will cycle right back to the Repugniscum National committee!

Switching Sides: Inside The Enemy Camp

But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.

"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.

Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.
