The US National Labs are a perfect example of throwing money at needless causes. Los Alamos National Lab has a staff of about 9,000 people, most of whom have absolutley nothing to do with the defense of America. There are Ph.D''''s all over the place creating useless models of hypothetical future events, mostly for salaries well above $100,000 per year. Los Alamos is now run by LANS, LLC, a private contractor that now skims $59 million per year from this epicenter of fraud, waste, and massive abuse of US tax $$$.

Gosh, don%u2019t you know Sir, how much Republicans hate government waste (rolling my eyes) and don%u2019t you know Sir, how much Right Wing Whack%u2019s hate hands out for the poor? Sir, I must say that sure is a mighty honest assessment you made about the where many of the GOP Bush base voters come from government lackeys 90% of them (Los Alamos National Lab has a staff of about 9,000 people, most of whom have absolutely nothing to do with the defense of America. There are PhD%u2019s all over the place creating useless models of hypothetical future events, mostly for salaries well above $100,000 per year.)

6/5/07: Fed Chairman and Republicon Bernanke said he believes some of the forces that figured in the slow growth of the US economy in the 1st quarter of 2007 were due to weak federal defense spending that "seemed likely to be at least partially reversed in the near term."

Here we are folks, smack in the middle of the US military industrial complex economy that is now the number one wheel behind the US economy. Our Fascist, paranoid Republicons fear machine continues to throw money at the needless US Military.

Iraq is not your normal War zone! The enemy doesn''t fight by the Geneva Convention or any convention at all, doesn''t fight by any rules. This enemy fights a dog-eat-dog War, wears explosives that can blow up U.S. personnel at any moment, drives vehicles full of explosives that can blow up any U.S. personnel at any moment, kills any and everything at random and fights among Iraqi civilians! This enemy killed those Iraqi civilians by shooting amongst them, using them for cover. Blackwater, the U.S. Military or any other Security Force is at a clear disadvantage trying to deal with this hostile, extremely violent and crazy War environment. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki should take a 5 week vacation like his government did and clear his head and get a grip. In this case I side with Blackwater. How can Blackwater be expected to play by the rules when no one knows what the rules of engagement are, when there are no rules. In my view Blackwater errors on the side of caution and in that case collateral damage is to be expected. Fair is fair! Complaint denied!!

So Maliki doesn''t like Blackwater--so what, the puppet dances to the master''s strings, just like Bushit dances on the string for the billionaires and corporations who own and operate the USA these days.

Iraq can''t tell the US and Blackwater to go home. If they do, there would be more killing then there already is. Al Maliki knows Blackwater is needed in Iraq which is why Blackwater employees are back at work already. Sad but true.

The DickNBush Gestapo, Blackwater, is now exposed. (Where has the MSM been on this for the past 4+ years? With their heads up their A**es again?) Seems there is no limit in DickNBush world to the number of people who are "above the law". Like DickNbush, these are a bunch of incompetent criminal thugs. The investigation of Blackwater needs to very broad and thorough - it will lead directly to the White House.
