I''ll be surprised if Blackwater is really evicted. The same goons will remain in any event--unless they can find some cheaper meat to send. These guys have stunning credentials for murdering civilians... veterans of the Pinochet Regime in Chile, the Central American death squads. According to Jeremy Scahill, author of BLACKWATER, the management even tries to rip off their troops...luring some Columbian military types in with promises of big wages...$4,000 a month then rushing them through contract changes that give them $34 a day.

The real murderous travesty, protrayed by Scahill, was their utter disregard for the four Blackwater employees lost in Falujah...they were supposed to have been provided with three man crews and armoured vehicles, heavier guns, etc....I''m surprised they did''t provided the four with convertible VW bugs and a contract with Life Alert.

The way that you defend these greedy boot-lickers, one might suspect that you yourself are one of these fascistic, overpriced, gun-toting, terroristic, prostitutes from Blackwater.

- Hi FF1,
I wouldn''t go to say they are prostitutes, but most probably they caused some Iraqi people to become prostitutes.

-Just wondering how many of those mysterious and unexplainable and strange destruction were signed by those ''security'' mercenaries? remmeber the Askaria Mosque dome?

FeelFree1, you make excellent points that are well taken. Thx.

A minor clarification, I meant ''successful end'' not ''successful war'' -- emphasis on ''end''. Overall, the Iraq debacle is one of the major policy and human disasters in the history of the US.

I think criminal prosecutions will focus on a subset of the contractors (probably 10-12 of the worst). Some are just regular companies like DHL. Some are real criminal thugs, well armed and highly dangerous to US interests when cornered.

As far as administration officials, perhaps there may be prosections of those neo-con advisors who presented falsified information. I think it is generally known or fairly easy to determine who faked the Niger papers (that the admin never did basic fact checking or any follow-up investigation tends towards wider complicity). Ledeen and Hadley (also Chalabi and crew) seem to be very close, if not directly involved. Maybe prosecution of Rumsfeld for torture and related activities.

I also think there will be a wave of civil litigation against the contractors, and this will bankrupt several of the worst offenders as well as their officers and directors.

And, while I am being a bit optimistic -- maybe the U.S. press will actually start acurately reporting the news and no longer unquestioningly repeat ludicris Bush administration lies. :-)

Well I''d say being asked to LEAVE the County would be a pretty good indication that these folks have a PROBLEM here. That is DRASTIC even in Fascist terms there Sparky... the citizens of the world already think Bush is the Second Coming of Hitler... we do NOT need more hatred and MORE reasons for young Arabs to join the Terrorist. Sieg Heil Y''all.

greco99,

Re: "I believe it will be surprisingly easy to successfully end this war."

There can be no "successful" end to a self-defeating, illegal, fraud-based war of aggression. It is, by definition, a spectacular failure, from the very start. The best that we can do, is to get out of their and bring those responsible for it, before a war crimes tribunal.

It will be "successful" only when those responsible for it are tried sentenced and convicted for their actions.

Also, there are a total of ZERO "good" U.S. companies involved in this debacle. Every single one of them is an accessory to a heinous crime, and are profitting from the misery and death of others.

Their assets should be seized and liquidated to help pay reparations costs.

Re: "Before we invaded there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq."

And this remains the case. "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" is little more than a Made-in-USA psy-ops hoax. When the U.S. leaves Iraq, I predict that this ficticious group will vanish as well.
