			If they throw out Blackwater, they've actually stood up. Then we should be able to blow the joint, yes?

			It will never happen. They need them. They could be replaced but I somehow doubt it.

			The bottom line is this. Most of what comes out of Daily Kos is crap. They are a mouth piece for Soros and the Huffington assholes. Given that, going into Iraq was a huge frigging mistake and I said so from day one to my wife as we sat in a food establishment on vacation as it went down. I was still on active duty. I remember distinctly telling my wife that they had better be sure that WMD's exist or we were going to lose a bunch of folks for no good reason. When we took the eye off the ball, Afghanistan, we began the slow spiral losing the game in the long run. We are stuck now. We have bought much of it with our blood. So here are the options, tell me what you would do: 1) Pull out, lock stock and barrel and accept the ascension of Iran into the Iraqi power struggle and impending genocide of the Suni by the Shia, and potentially the invasion of Kurdistan by the Turks and possibly the Iranians and potentially a separate genocide. 2) Stay and try to help keep the place stabilized losing more Americans in the mean time with no end in sight. All the while continuing to poor money into the pit of corruption of Iraqi officials and big business interests.

			Yeah, blackwater not only provides security for just about every civilian leader that goes to Iraq, but they do security on a large number of our civil projects, etc.  No to mention how tight they are with the military because, well, they're 99% ex-military.  Usually career types or SF.
