Kick Blackwater out of Iraq?...?

Question

Even if they are mercenary's, who else is going to protect all the many contractors working to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure,our military has its hands full doing the Iraq's army and polices dirty work for them.

If Blackwater has to leave then we should pull all American contractors out and let their worthless govt. do their own rebuilding,the h# with them!

Answer 1

heres a clue, provide professional army to do the Blackwater work. But that would call for Bush to fully disclose the cost of the war to Americans, can;t have that now, cna we?

Answer 2

Yes, I think we should put them in our institutions of higher learning, to put an end to LEFT-WING INDOCTRINATION.

Answer 3

Actually, I don't believe that our government should have a private army to protect dignitaries.  It's not right.  Secondly, by putting these mercenaries in a position whereby they are "protecting" dignitaries as well as private citizens, that makes them a private army paid for by the taxpayers and when these people do double duty to protect corporations and contractors, then taxpayers are subsidizing corporations who maybe considered invaders and may even be causing international incidents (not may but according to the latest info --they are causing international incidents).  The worst problem with this is that these mercenaries create questions as to jurisdiction within our own legal system, not to mention the foreign system.   When they protect dignitaries, the foreign interests would consider them an arm of the government.   It is our government's job to provide an army to protect our citizens and our dignitaries.  That's why we have Military Police.  We need to stop muddying the waters with these types of quasi military actors and actions.

I agree, we should pull all our contractors out and let their worthless government do their own rebuilding.  Halliburton is the main contractor and Halliburton isn't doing the American people any favors -- in fact they have been overcharging the taxpayers.    I think our military needs to be out of Iraq and into the USA protecting our interests and our borders here.  We have a minimum of 12 million illegal immigrant invaders that need to be herded up and deported and/or brought to justice.  We will never forget that 19 illegal immigrants committed an act of war against the USA on 9/11/01 and therefore, we need to protect our borders first and foremost.  Additionally instead of a 9-10 trillion dollar debt, our contractors need to be here in the U.S.A. rebuilding our infrastructures and maintaining the homeland.

Answer 4

Well I certainly agree with pulling out all American contractors.

And while we're at it, lets pull our troops out too!!

But that isn't going to happen. Those companies are making a fortune there. Thats part of what is keeping this war going, don't ya know.

Answer 5

They are not the only contract mercenary's in Iraq, someone else will just fill their void.

Supply and demand.

Answer 6

Quite Rightly So! ;-)=

Answer 7

I can see the ad now:  Join Halliburton Security Services!

More money for d**k Cheney's buddies.

Answer 8

yes... kick them out and all intruders as well. once they are out, iraq will be a safe place again.

Answer 9

You know what?  I so totally agree with you.  I don't know the entire story of why Blackwater is being evicted, but everyone should follow them out.  If I was working for a contractor over there, and I was told our security was leaving....h**l, I might be gone before they were.  Our military doesn't need any more on it....they are already stretched too thin.
