You have to give people weapons and train them if you want them to attack you so you have a reason to invade the country they live in, even Bushy_baby knows that!!!!

The Democrats always blaming somebody or someone.

Yet they take Zero responsibity for anything.

I offer our 100th Do Nothing Democrat Congress as proof.

Let''''s vote these Democrats out of office in November 2008!

Re: "They didn''t have enough personnel. They didn''t have proper weaponry. They didn''t have proper vehicles. They didn''t have enough armored vehicles. They didn''t even have proper road directions,%u201D Singer said."

On the bright side, that''s 4 less amoral terrorists-for-rent around to have to worry about.

This is pretty typical of our "leaders" to focus on the deaths of these Blackwater scumbags, rather than to even pretend to care about the misery and death that they continue to deliver to the people of Iraq.

The subsequemt mass-murder, use of chemical weapons, and other war crimes and atrocities against the people of Fallujah, following the deaths of the Blackwater mercenaries, was not the responsibility of the dangerous goons from Blackwater.

The responsibility for these atrocities lies with "our troops", and with the Democrats and Republicans who placed them in this illegal and disgraceful war of aggression, and refuse to end our involvement in it.

Ever the tool for the Repugnant Ones, perception5 says, "Let''s vote these Democrats out of office in November 2008!"

The truth is, we need to pack the House and Senate with more Democrats so they can overcome the Repugnant Ones'' filibusters and The Chimp''s vetoes.

re: Blackwater-- Mercenaries are the lowest form of life on this planet, with one exception, the Evil Ones who hire them!

No US contractors have been convicted for killing Iraqi civilians.
The perception among Iraqis is : US security contractors can act with impunity -
Has engendered widespread resentment

Hitlers Storm Troopers and the - Nazi SS - Did the same thing.
To study Hitler - is to - Predict Bush
To understand the German Nazi Party - Is to Understand
The Republican (Nazi) Party

Blackwater is the firm mentioned as being suspected of
smuggling weapons into Iraq illegally.

Criminal Corporate (Nazi) America
Has supplied Weapons and War materals to every Country who has ever
been an Enemy of the United States. In order to Kill American Military
in every War - Since WWII

Sen. Prescott Bush and Friends Who shipped War Materials
and Weapons to : Nazi - Germany. To kill American Soldiers in Europe.

The same organization shipped War Materials and Weapons to
North Vietnam. To kill American Military in Vietnam

The same organization now Supplies War Materials and Weapons to :
Iran. To Kill American Military in Iraq

Profound act of : Patriotism - To North Korea - Syira - Libya and Iran
Demonstrated By : Criminal Corporate (Nazi) America
The Republican (Nazi) Party

"Treason" - was once a - Criminal Act ! ! !

Invading and packaging Iraq for sale was a bad idea. Outsourcing military operations to mercenaries compounded the error. This administrtion is engaged in the worst misallocation of valuable military resources since Stalin "defended" Russia against the Nazi invasion, only saved by a worse bungle by Hitler in ordering troops ready to sack Moscow to the Ukraine. Way to make history W, you are in swell company.

The Democrats finally get around to seeing the obvious? What they should have done when the story of Blackwater''s perfidy first came out...but these mainstream Dims aren''t very good at investigations... when their subpoenas aren''t answered, evidence is destroyed, Attorney Generals just sit there and lie to their faces while stray dogs passing by stop and whizz on their legs....what do they do? Nothing.

If they had looked into the doings of this mercenary Walmart, they might have been able to find exactly why proper procedures weren''t followed and they were sent in their SUVs, without armour, without the kind of high-powered weaponry that would have been proper procedure and without the requisite number of team members for such a dangerous and appallingly stupid assignment...It was almost as if someone wanted to create an incident. The Congress could have stood up for the families of these men--but they didn''t stand up for anyone--just OIl and Israel....Oil and Israel...Oil and Israel...

480 days until regime change. There will be plenty of new federal prison cells for Attorney General Waxman to fill.

You might have guessed-- it was Bush''s own "privatization" ideology which imperiled everybody at Fallujah. Sending mercenaries to handle a soldier''s job is something typically, if not brilliantly, neocon.

As it turned out, mercenaries and their conduct has jeopardized gains made in community relations by nearby US troops. Blackwater probably recruited more insurgents than it killed.

No, the real classic is your exquisite Archie Bunker routine. Relax, pal, you are at least one generation behind the times. Your country today is the same one which realized it had been screwed by Johnson and Nixon on Vietnam and never forgot it.

Neither did you, apparently, still hoping Nixon will be exhonerated. And like Bush, you stay up late at night, expecting light at the end of the tunnel.

Here is your new nightlight-- Bush is the consumate opportunist whose own political career dishonors the Constitution he claims to serve. In November, 2005, in Washington, DC, Bush, facing an assembly of his own party members critical of his NSA spying program, bristled like a teenager caught drinking after curfew-- "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It just a GD)((#@*! piece of paper!"

Is this figure, who claims to be president of the United States, the same who pledged an oath to "protect, preserve and defend" the document he calls a "GD)((#@*! piece of paper"? If Clinton is guilty of a single Newt Gingrich, Bush screwed the entire country-- and ran up a debt our grandchildren must pay, while doing it.

The Real Reason We''re In Iraq:
An influential group of conservatives convinced President George W. Bush that it was in America''s best interests to conquer Iraq as a first step toward dominating the oil-producing nations in the Middle East. There was no "exit plan" because we never intended to exit. The plan was, and is, to build military bases in Iraq and stay there forever. Our leaders see Iraq as a place to make money. So Bush & Co. have set up their friends to cash in on the rebuilding of Iraq.
