Blackwater

The Blackwater killings in Iraq! I remember that in March 31 2004 four of Blackwater security guards were ambushed and killed. Then their bodies were burned and dragged across Fallujah to a bridge in the Euphrates River. There their bodies were hang and displayed for the Iraqi people to see. Wow! What a great Jihad victory over the infidel. The insurgents and militia have been killing Americans for over 4 years. So what do we call that? A casualty of war is what we call it, according to the US Government. The war ended in a great victory for the United States and its allies in 2003. So why are we still calling the deaths casualties of war? Well the truth is we are just a police presence there; the soldiers for the most part hate it. But some people are there to make money, and lots of it. The security contractors there are not fighting for their country, but for the money that Blackwater pays. These guys are mainly ex soldiers and marines, so they have experience on what their job is and what’s expected of them. Now how do these professionals end up killing 11 innocent civilians for no reason? Wait it’s now 17, and tomorrow it will be 20 or 30. I’m not sure how or why this happened it might all be publicity for Iraq. But what I think will happen is that the Government or Blackwater will end up paying a lot of Iraqis a lot of money for their losses. Some may be true and some just figured that they can make some money out of a little lie. I mean seriously how can anybody tell who was killed in the actual shooting. Can you really do a murder investigation in a war torn country? I don’t know but I have a feeling that more bodies will be added to the Blackwater body count. If the Blackwater security agents did kill innocent people then I do I agree on them getting punished. But if they didn’t will anybody care about what the mercenaries didn’t do? Probably not, I think things are about to get worst for Mr. Erik Prince.
