I must ask, just for the pure fun of it. Would it matter to you at all if you were told once more that Blackwater is not a "Combatant" in the war at all, they're simply running a security company?

[/ QUOTE ]

They seem to kill a lot of totally uninvolved civilian Iraqis for non-combatants, or are they just plain incompetent?

[/ QUOTE ]

That must be because you and I have vastly different meanings of "totally uninvolved". In my world, when a man opens up machine gun fire on me, I'm not going to buy him a cup of coffee and reason with him, I'm going to kill him before he kills me.

In your fantasy land, he's "totally uninvolved". In my world, he's "Fatally involved".

Also, everyone we're fighting is a "civilian".

They are mercenaries for hire and there are enough conflicts in the world to keep them busy if our country is somehow at peace.

I find this hilarious. I'm going to make a statement, let you bitch, then I'm going to explain why I'm right.

Blackwater employees have never killed anyone, in any conflict, anywhere in the world, while employed by Blackwater.

and this is clearly false, right?

Oh God.. You're so far behind. Reread thread.

DblBarrelJ: Blackwater isn't evil
MidGe: Blackwater murders baby deer
DblBarrelJ: Blackwater employees never killed anyone because the security agents don't actually work for Blackwater, they're private contractors
MidGe: Blackwater "employees" are terrorists

And in your world does that give you the right to go and shoot the guy's whose house you are in, uninvited, committing flagrant burglary?


The civilian killed ,or should I say, more aptly, murdered, by Blackwater "pseudo-employees" (LOL) were totally involved!?!? You are absolutely with no knowledge of what is happening. You are in total denial, like executives and operatives from Blackwater, and this not only about Iraq!


Shame Blackwater!

That particular case may or may not change everything. I will not break my leg doing the worlds hardest knee jerk because of [censored] broadcast on Al Jazeera and picked up and repeated as truth worldwide on other networks.

When the whole story comes out, I'll make my decision from there.

So I shouldn't be able to do my job, which is get this person or convoy from point A to point B, because some inbred throwback who is such a coward he hides behind innocent civilians and dresses to blend in with them decides to shoot up an innocent American dignitary?

Not in my world. Just don't shoot me, I won't shoot you, we'll get along just fine.
