Today’s news made my day. You can’t imagine how happy I am to read the mercenary murderers of Blackwater The killers’ kick out topped the headlines since yesterday leaving me with a huge relief that would be complete if those murderers are brought to justice which American administration claims it possesses but, not on those little black angels.
Watching Blackwater’s mercenary actions when I was in
Blackwater and the many other security contracting companies are part of the problems that are happening in
Anyways, so Blackwater’s latest crime killed eight Iraqi civilians. Their convoy was attacked first. Instead of aiming their shooting at the attackers first, they shot randomly killing the civilians in the streets. Of course, Condoleeza apologized to the Iraqi government. How easy! Do you think it would be better if she decides to be dressed in black and go to the funeral of the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, or wives of the slain civilians and offer her condolences? Do think they would accept her apology?
None of Blackwater’s murderers were brought to justice. There is no law that restricts them from committing crimes. When Bush was asked such a question, THIS was his answer. I swear after watching this video, I thought how could people vote for such a man?! He isn’t funny at all. Is he?
Finally, I am off to get ready to go to class with full joy of receiving such great news. It might be a new play, but what the hell. They should know there is a limit to patience. My condolences to my fellow Iraqi people for the loss of the people who were killed by the mercenaries and all those who are killed and are still being killed by terrorists.
And before I go, I leave you with a gruesome video of the crimes committed by mercenaries, which was boastfully filmed by them as they drove in the streets of

They will have to remain in the country and stand trial, the Iraqi interior ministry said.
is this true? i hope so. i thought they were immune from prosecution in iraq.
Ms Rice had "reiterated that the United States does everything it can to avoid such loss of life in contrast to the enemies of the Iraqi people who deliberately target civilians".
i agree w/you BT when you make a distinction between our military and these contractors, but don't they both represent the US? we hire them. how can the US say they do everything they can when this war has more contractors than any in our history, and they are not held to the same standards as a soldier under international law?
i'm confused
it's unclear how the Interior Ministry would expel Blackwater. Unlike other private U.S. security firms in Iraq, as of May, Blackwater hadn't registered with the Iraqi government to operate in Iraq. The Coalition Provisional Authority -- the now-defunct occupational government -- issued a decree in 2004 (pdf) immunizing security contractors from Iraqi prosecution and placing their operations under the jurisdiction of U.S. authorities.
.....
The Interior Ministry's decision is likely to be a source of friction between the U.S. Embassy and Iraq. Not only does Blackwater guard many important U.S. officials there, but the embassy is unlikely to want a precedent established that allows the Iraqi government to kick out U.S. contractors for excessive use of force.
also, it is my impression that as troops begin to graw down in iraq, the contractors (private militias) numbers go up.
'Help Wanted' Ad Belies Report on Iraq Security
A week ago today, Gen. David H. Petraeus started his rounds on Capitol Hill, reporting that security in Iraq was improving to the point that a small number of troops could begin coming home by year's end.
But 10 days ago, his commanders in Baghdad began advertising for private contractors to work in combat-supply warehouses on U.S. bases throughout Iraq
granted, these are for 'support positions'. nonetheless private security (mercenaries) are allowed to operate on the behalf of private industry in iraq. in other words, standard oil is not required to hire iraqs to protect their interests. iraq could find itself booming w/these private protectors as the troops draw down.
i think rice is wrong, the US has not done everything it can, roughly half of the personel representing the US in iraq is private. the responsible thing to do would be have them under a uniform code of conduct, just like a soldier.
still this is an excellent first step by maliki, iraq and iraq alone should be able to determine who can and cannot operate security in their country. in the US, i don't think a foreign industry would be allowed to have their own militia.

A congressional committee has launched an investigation into the State Department's inspector general, alleging that he blocked fraud investigations....
Also under scrutiny is whether Blackwater USA, the private security firm banned this week from working in Iraq for the alleged killing of eight Iraqi civilians, was "illegally smuggling weapons into Iraq," according to a letter to IG Howard J. Krongard that was obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
The investigation involves allegations that "your strong affinity with State Department leadership and your partisan political ties have led you to halt investigations, censor reports, and refuse to cooperate with law enforcement agencies," Krongard was told.
Based on allegations made by a number of current and former senior investigators who worked for Krongard, the letter from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee also questioned whether he adequately investigated illegal labor trafficking allegations involving the Kuwaiti company that was building the Baghdad embassy.
more on Krongard here. more on the cia/blackwater revolving door which reflects why there is essentially no difference between blackwater and 'US interests' in iraq.
Hate to burst your bubble, but I think it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that Blackwater, or any of the other mercenary rental outfits, will be leaving Iraq soon. Quite simply, without them the entire occupation would fall apart--can you imagine US troops having to protect all our diplomats when they could be playing whack-a-mole in Diyala instead? Without the mercenaries, the US troop presence would be impossible to maintain: it's the mercenaries, after all, who are guarding the supply lines.
Blackwater and Co. will not leave Iraq until, or after, the US military leaves Iraq. I suspect the Iraqi government is making bold noises for domestic political consumption, knowing full well that without these mercenaries, the entire house of cards will crumble.
At some point soon, the US will say: sorry, we can't do without them, and we WON'T do without them, and you Iraqis will have to get used to it. At which point al-Maliki will throw up his hands and say, "I tried!"
i agree to a certain extent john seal. if you check my cia/blackwater revolving door link on my last comment
A number of senior CIA and Pentagon officials have taken top jobs at Blackwater, including firm vice chairman Cofer Black...
A CIA source with whom I spoke said that Prince is very tight with top agency officials and has a “green badge,” the security pass for contractors who have access to CIA installations. “He's over there [at CIA headquarters] regularly, probably once a month or so,” this person told me. “He meets with senior people, especially in the D.O.” (The D.O., or Directorate of Operations, runs covert operations; last year, it was absorbed by the newly created National Clandestine Service.)...
the revolving door to Blackwater keeps turning. Last fall, Rob Richer resigned from the post of Associate Deputy Director of Operations; he immediately took a job as Blackwater's Vice President of Intelligence. Richer is a former head of the CIA's Near East Division.......
Blackwater is also aggressively recruiting Jose Rodriguez, the CIA's current top spy as director of the National Clandestine Service. Rodriguez has a number of former agency friends at Blackwater, most notably Rick Prado, with whom he served in Latin America and who is now Blackwater's Vice President of Special Programs.
rodriquez recently quit his post @ cia btw, says he wants to go into 'recruitment'.
these guys operate as the right arm of the cia in iraq. in other words, they get the job done, as we know in latin america. they do a lot more than protect diplomats and guard supply lines.
troops leaving is one thing. the cia? very unlikely. these guys get the job done.
The guards are considered neither civilians nor military personnel, although they do carry IDs from the US Department of Defense.
Order 17 of the Coalition Provisional Authority gives the guards immunity from Iraqi prosecution, but they have no combat immunity under international law if they engage in hostilities.
Any Iraqi review of their status would therefore only have an effect if the US authorities accept its conclusions, our correspondent says.

They might not leave or brought to justice, but the whole world knows now that they are criminals and that Iraqis hate them. I think it's just unfair that only army and marines who commit crimes are brought to justice. I think those mercenaries should be brought to justice too. I mean, they kill, get unpunished and then receive about $8,000 salary a month. What a beautiful life they never dreamed of before!
As we heard, the State dept. convoy was under fire. Is that something out of ordinary in Irak? 14 died and 40somthing injured, and not ONE bad guy?. A little hard to believe. How many of those "inocent civilians" caried an AK before thay took the celestial dirt nap?
Why the peace loving people of Irak cantassure security for foreing demnitaries? Maybe, just maybe CORUPTION?
Why instead of screaming from the confort what US has to ofer, not staying there, home, and try to act as humans?
I feel really disgusted by this story! I can't believe that these private mercenaries can do whatever they please and have to face zero consequences. As you said BT, at least U.S. soldiers who have committed crimes have to face justice. What an irony that these murderers are working for the U.S. Embassy! Way to go Condi! Now lets see a few more of your brilliant diplomatic moves.
Here is a question for George Bush: Is the Iraqi government sovereign? If so, then they have the right to kick Blackwater the hell out of Iraq if they want to!
This story has been something of a surprise to me. I always thought that it was the responsibility of the U.S. Marines to guard U.S. embassies and embassy staff. I thought outfits like Blackwater were just providing security for civilian contractors like Halliburton.
Maliki should concentrate on
1) Ending the corruption and fraud
and waste and theft in his own government
2) Then apply this huge amout of money to training and equipping
and paying better The iraqi Police
and military then Then security
firms would not be necessary.
I would like to know how a roadside
bomb gets planted in these
well populated districts in the first place ???
It sems a portion of the local population and/r police are still
supporting the bombers
Can we conclude that nly
American diplomats/contractors/soldiers
are targets of these bomb/ambushes???
Obviously not as thousands of attacks have been directed at Iraqi civilians/government employees/religious figures
All these security incidents need
to be treated individually with
the individual personnel involved
The simple fact after 1.5 years
of Maliki government Iraq
still needs a huge foreign security
prescense ... this is the problem which has to be solved and solved more quickly.
The insurgents decided to wage this war in civilian areas ...
and iraqi civilians are paying a huge price ....
4.5 years after invasion and instead of sharing the wealth of what can be a truly great nation
factions within Iraq seek to rule
by force and dominate the other
and they do so by fighting in civilian areas.
Maliki needs to work on the huge problems not try and make a show
out of this incident ....
Will al-queda operatives and hardcore baathists
a) leave Iraq
OR
b) stop attacking Iraqi infastructure
c) stop attracking iraqi civilians
d) stop attacking government workers
e) stop attacking members of Malikis government
If all foreign forces leave ???
Blackwater et al are a necessary
evil stemming from a guerilla
war waged in civilian areas
The action of Blackwater employees
and all the foreign forces
pales in comparison to the
day to day violence which
targets the civilian population
of Iraq
Anonymous,
I agree with you on that Maliki should concentrate on some issues in his government, but that doesn't mean he should ignore any crime that is committed by any American. It's one of his responsibilities too. I mean, Blackwater members are as criminal as al-Qaeda in our eyes. They should be punished. They always run unpunished after any crime they commit. Do you know who gets to be blown up instead? Your troops. They are the ones who are paying the price for these crimes which create hatred that does not differentiate whether the killer was a soldier or a security contractor.
and not ONE bad guy?. A little hard to believe.
the rightwingers have their talking pts down
I give you that as a preamble to the latest story about the Blackwater affair because it’s important to understanding how things work in Iraq. You’ve probably heard by now, that the North Carolina-based Blackwater security company is in hot water with Iraq’s Interior Ministry over an incident in which “innocent Iraqis” were killed. I added the scare quotes because the term “innocent” means different things to different people, and it’s not at all clear yet that whoever was killed in that incident was innocent in any way that we would commonly use the term.
cough, in other words, those dead people blackwater killed? chances are some of them were complict?
It sems a portion of the local population and/r police are still
supporting the bombers
ahh, so maybe that policeman they killed was actually a bad guy? and likely some random shooting from the helicopters were actually hitting bad guys?
1) Ending the corruption and fraud
and waste and theft in his own government
If you spend any amount of time at all in Iraq — and I mean that literally, any time at all — you’ll soon observe corruption. Iraq is a country that spent 35 years in survival mode, under the boot heel of a man who admired both Hitler and Stalin and who sought to combine the brutality of both on his way to becoming the next Nebuchadnezzar. The society was traumatized, and its people evidently learned to live by a police state version of the Wimpy rule: I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for what I’m swiping from you today, and mostly because by Tuesday the Mukhabarrat may have swiped me, myself and I, never to be seen again. I’ll be tortured and probably killed, but at least I won’t be out the couple of dinars I would have paid you.
see the build up.. how our terror isn't terror..notice the context?.."If you spend any amount of time at all in Iraq — and I mean that literally, any time at all " any time? or any time during war time? any time during the 50's, 90's, 2200? really, it it just those iraqis!
The simple fact
The simple fact
The simple fact ....needs a huge foreign security prescense
forever, and we are going to bring it to you...
The insurgents decided to wage this war in civilian areas ...
hahaha there were no insurgents before the invaders decided to wag this war!
The action of Blackwater employees and all the foreign forces pales in comparison to the
day to day violence which targets the civilian population of Iraq
you mean it pales in comparison to itself? the violence was not targeted at the civilians, it was targeted at blackwater who then targeted the civilians. and now you paint some picture that is supposed to make it ok because it pales in comparison to........therefore it is justified to target the civilians?
really! you guys all think alike. you get your talking pts and all say the same thing!
how about SO SORRY? how about,THAT IS REALLY TERRIBLE! blackwater should not have opened fired into a crowd!
whats wrong w/you poeple. innocent people died. quit defending jacked up, testestrone christian blackwater crusaders making anywhwere from $160000 to $400000 a year!
Blackwater members are as criminal as al-Qaeda in our eyes.
of course
BT, I don't think that Blackwater will be kicked out. I think that either Maliki and co will come back and say they were confused or misunderstood and that Blackwater can stay ... or I think some other childish ruse like changing the name of the company for its Iraq operations will be tried. The mercenaries are too much a part of US operations to simply be shown the door. Oh, and forget about any of them facing Iraqi justice. They're officially immune from Iraqi courts via Bremer's Order 17, if I recall.
Here's something on Black water pay:
Under contract with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Protective Service, Blackwater's men are ostensibly protecting federal reconstruction projects for FEMA. Documents show that the government paid Blackwater $950 a day for each of its guards in the area. Interviewed by The Nation last September, several of the company's guards stationed in New Orleans said they were being paid $350 a day. That would have left Blackwater with $600 per man, per day to cover lodging, ammo, other overhead--and profits.

In other words they're making at least 10000$ a month.

Iraq considers new steps against security companies
Two survivors of Sunday's shooting at a busy Baghdad traffic roundabout said Tuesday that security guards for a State Department convoy opened fire without provocation, contradicting assertions by the guards' U.S.-based employer, Blackwater USA, that they were responding to enemy fire.
Hassan Jaber Salma, 50, a lawyer who suffered eight gunshot wounds in the incident, said he and other motorists were attempting to clear a path for the convoy when the Blackwater guards suddenly strafed the line of traffic with gunfire.
Sami Hawas Karim, 42, a taxi driver who was shot in the hip and side, said he, too, had stopped for the convoy when he saw the guards suddenly open fire on a car bearing a man, a woman and a small child. The guards then opened fire on maintenance workers in the square, the car in front of him, the car behind him and a minibus full of girls.
When he felt the pain of his two wounds, he opened the door of his car and fell to the ground; his 13-year-old son in the car with him wasn't harmed.
"I thought about my family and my five kids," he said. "I remembered my two brothers who were killed, and I said to myself, 'I'm going to be the third.'"
i'll pray for this family
Their accounts came as Iraqi government officials vowed to introduce legislation next week that would revoke a 2003 U.S. decree exempting private security firms from Iraqi laws.
Such an assertion of independence could put the government of Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki on a collision course with the United States, which is dependent on thousands of private security contractors to supplement the 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy, whose diplomats, including Ambassador Ryan Crocker, are guarded by Blackwater, ordered its civilian employees not to leave the heavily fortified Green Zone, or International Zone, until further notice.
"In light of the serious security incident involving a U.S. Embassy protection detail in the Mansour District of Baghdad, the embassy has suspended official U.S. government civilian ground movements outside the International Zone (IZ) and throughout Iraq," the embassy said in a "warden's message" e-mailed to Americans in Iraq.
There was still no comprehensive official version of Sunday's shooting, which left nine people dead and 15 wounded and prompted an outcry from Iraqi officials who claimed that Blackwater guards had opened fire without provocation...
The preliminary report shows there was no shooting against them," Dabbagh said, referring to the Blackwater guards. "They should follow an Iraqi standard and Iraqi laws. They cannot have immunity."
That version differed from a statement released Monday by Blackwater. "The 'civilians' reportedly fired upon by Blackwater professionals were in fact armed enemies, and Blackwater personnel returned defensive fire," the statement said. "Blackwater regrets any loss of life, but this convoy was violently attacked by armed insurgents, not civilians, and our people did their job to defend human life."
Neither of the two survivors interviewed at Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital said he'd heard explosions or gunfire before the Blackwater guards opened fire on cars that had stopped to allow a four-vehicle convoy to pass.
Salma said that as the Blackwater guards opened fire, he turned his car into oncoming traffic in an effort to escape, only to have Iraqi soldiers nearby also begin firing on him, apparently fearing that he was a suicide bomber. Ducking his head to avoid bullets that slammed into the driver's seat and dashboard, he lost control of the car and slammed into a truck carrying cooking gas canisters, breaking three ribs.
"I swear they were not attacked by anything," said Salma, his torso wrapped in a heavy plaster cast and his breathing labored from gunshot wounds in the chest, stomach and back. His wife sobbed next to him.
Both Karim and Salma said a helicopter was on the scene. Salma said it also fired into the line of cars, contradicting Blackwater's statement that its helicopter didn't open fire.
Dabbagh, the government spokesman, said that the preliminary report also showed that a helicopter had fired into the crowd.
"No country in the world would allow the way they are operating in Iraq," Dabbagh said...
Interior Ministry spokesman Abbel Karim Khalaf said that immunity is likely to end soon. He said that a proposed law cancelling Order No. 17 has been sent to the government's advisory council. That law is expected to be referred to parliament next week, where it's likely to win wide approval.
How that would affect the operations of foreign security companies is unknown. Efforts to reach the Private Security Company Association of Iraq were unsuccessful.....The director of the Private Security Company Association of Iraq told Congress in 2006 that 181 companies were operating in Iraq.

i highly recommend this entire link which includes choice orwell
“It’s a little bit frustrating because there are 15 different committees that have jurisdiction over what our industry does,” said Doug Brooks, president of the International Peace Operations Association, whose members include Blackwater and DynCorp. “We are pulled in all these different directions.”
....
“Our disagreements with Mrs. Schakowsky are over the amount of detail that she would like to see reported, versus our view of what’s useful information to policy makers,” Chvotkin said. “She wants compensation levels and hours worked, those kinds of things will change with every shift, every day, and in our view it doesn’t help a policy maker to know that.”
'mrs' Schakowsky being Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) along w/obama backing legislation that "would require more transparency in the contracts".
in other words they want to operate unfettered.
More tribes organise to fight Alqaida
Its really pretty simple. They are in a nice cozy situation with US prime beef coming straight from the defense industry who are crawling over themselves to join, there is political cover to a certain extent, prime pay, much more freedom from oversight and flexibility to respond to situations and "an opportunity". What more could could an ex GI want. I mean a GI CANNOT get this kind of pay in the private sector, can he/she?
Anon! Tell me what job (other than these private contractors) offers this kind of pay to such a large group of ex GIs, who walk straight out of Iraq and get this can get this kind of pay?
Its simple corruption.
These guys are paid to express their animal nature, which is what war is all about. That's why any military needs oversight to control the animal side of us. I guarantee that anyone of us put in the same situation would become just like Blackwater, Just like Al Quaeda of Iraq. These are just 2 examples of the extreme form of corruption that will occur in a war zone.
The problem is, we won't see Blackwater oversight any time soon.
They will be more noticed now. However it will still take more time for consequences to build up.
Well said! What we need are people like Edo River and Annie to protect those trying to make progress in Iraq from the innocent Iraqis who try to kill them and occasionally hang their burning bodies from bridges as they dance below.
Just wondering, does anyone who are condemning the Blackwater guys actually know what really happened, or do you know assume that Malaki has suddenly become a credible source all of a sudden?
... every time some American nazi wipes out an Iraqi family, or some American nazi contractor fires on cars carrying civilians because he/she is bored, or a 14-yr old Iraqi girl is gang-raped by American nazis, up pops some American nazi saying "Hold on folks, let's hear the whole story, first, lets not jump to conclusions".
Too bad you American Nazis didn't think of that when you went after Iraq for 9/11.
Anon makes a point of asking, "What do we really know about the event?" Probably doesn't make too much difference, at this time. I don't see the private subcontracting movement suddenly reversing itself. I don't see Blackwater being kicked out of any place soon. This is just one more mark. It will take alot more to bring the critter down to its knees. Blackwater and Al Quaeda, same source of the human animae.
Who was it that made the comment about letting the two fight, Iran and Iraq, during that 1980's war, "like two scorpions"? Political buddy of the prez of Blackwater, wasn't it?
Every time someone condemns persons as Nazis without having any facts, I say wait a minute, what do you have to support your accusations beyond your desire to associate the terms 'American' and 'Nazi' in the same breath? If the facts show they maliciously caused deaths, they should pay. I don't condone such things. If they were criminally careless in their actions when defending themselves and their clients, they should pay. Those men and women are doing a very necessary and dangerous job, often guarding people trying to effect the types of improvements you scream for daily. they deserve to have their side heard and any evidence available to support them should be examined. Those Balckwater guys that were dismembered, burned and hung from a Fallujah bridge got the same kind of justice you are dishing out in your comments. It is possible that they did what they had to do to prevent that kind of Iraqi justice being served on them that day. I don't know, and neither does anyone here beyond the likely biased reporting. Let's call for a fair hearing before we hang them from a rhetorical bridges.
You want a fair hearing before you make a judgment?
American Nazi government already made a judgment despite the dozens of Iraqis killed by this criminal outfit.
Blackwater were ordered back on to Baghdad streets today.
Please write your local congresswhore and ask them to petition a stay as you await judgment.
'American Nazi government' is a phrase which betrays a very shallow understanding of history and current events.
Treasure, How much do you want to bet one of your "anons" here is one of these?
From the NYTimes
"Walid Jawad was tired of all the chatter on Middle Eastern blogs and Internet forums in praise of gory attacks carried out by the “noble resistance” in Iraq.
So Mr. Jawad, one of two Arabic-speaking members of what the State Department called its Digital Outreach Team, posted his own question: Why was it that many in the Arab world quickly condemned civilian Palestinian deaths but were mute about the endless killing of women and children by suicide bombers in Iraq?"
Edo River; why is it that the war supporting yanks never seem stop doing the same thing ? They always make it the fault of the Iraqi’s (or whatever group of helpless people they rape torture and murder this week). Its never them. It was never them when they committed the biggest act of genocide ever perpetrated in the history of humanity (Indian Wars) no credible source puts the number under 50 million, and it may be as many as 168 million). Blame the Indians for being born on their own land and not rolling over to play dead for the invaders. It was never the fault of the US for deliberately using 2 nuclear weapons on a country that it knew was close to surrender (Japan). Yet another act of genocide and war crimes. It was never the fault of the US during Vietnam when it enacted its “pacification of the countryside” program and several million Vietnamese were put into concentration camps. Its STILL not the fault of the US that the bombs and mines it dropped on Laos and Cambodia are STILL active, exploding and murdering people long after the US ran away from SE Asia. To date the US provides little to no funding to find and remove the mines and bombs it dropped on those nations in its undeclared war – a war crime btw. And they then have the nerve to call other people terrorists ? At what point does that nation of war criminals, cowards, and child killers take responsibility for its crimes ? Will it EVER do so? Here is a list of scumbags, vermin and wars of aggression and genocide perpetrated by the US. Quite a long list isn't it ? Something to make a yanks heart swell with pride I'm certain (/sarcasm). Note in the section where it talks about numbers of people killed in each war, those numbers are ridiculously low. Click here . Speaking of Vietnam here is a VERY good link in how the US got into that war too. Written by an ex US serviceman who did 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. Means he signed up for at least one of those duties. Means he was supporting the war against terrorism… opps I mean communism back then. It bears no resemblance to the lies taught in US schools. Its based on US gov documents the US government went to court to try to keep secret.
So anyway, I doubt that the US will ever take responsibility for its war crimes throughout its entire history. Doing so would mean it would have to take action to stop being the worlds leading terrorist nation and practitioner of genocide. But go ahead, keep blaming the victims. After all, it’s the american way.
As for blackwater mercenaries – they’re not leaving till the rest of the yanks leave. Don’t kid yourself. The puppets of Iraq have NO say in anything important. If the puppet government gets too uppity, they yanks will simply have them murdered and install new puppets
Hey Edo,
It seems that Mr. Jawad doesn't even read blogs!
It's really stupid to say what he said. I can bring him a lot of blogs, forums, and even MSN and Yahoo groups where Iraqi and some Arab posters declare their harsh criticism against al-Qaeda and their brutality against the Iraqi people.
He's another propaganda tool, man!
Edo, would you mind providing us with his full speech or article?
Thanks!
Thanks for the film clips. When I was a teen-ager, I remember seeing film clips of American fighter pilots shooting down Messerschmidts and Focke-Wulfs over France and Germany. Your clips brought back old memories. I only wish the cars exploded like the German fighter-aircraft. Those cars were approaching fast and got what they deserved. Post some more film clips if you have them.
Thanks for the film clips. Three years ago, I remember seeing film clips of Blackwater mercenaries shot, burned to death and then strung on a bridge in Fallujah. Your clips brought back old memories. I only wish those mercenaries were caught by the so-called "insurgents" they were supposed to be shooting at, slowly beheaded with a blunt blade, and then for their rotten carcasses to be chopped to pieces and hung at Nisoor Square. Those mercenaries (numbering more than U.S. troops in Iraq) have no right to be there and would deserve any punishment they get from the people they often use as target practice. Post some more film clips if you have them.
