Blackwater Inaccuracy of the Day

In discussing their role as private security forces in Iraq, Blackwater executives have mentioned that they differ from the U.S. Army in that they don't need to get "hearts and minds." Seems to me they sell themselves short.

It has become clear that Blackwater USA has become a threat to any hope for peace in Iraq. How can Iraqi citizens possibly feel safe when a paramilitary organization, which seems to answer to no one, is running lose on their streets. There is enough documented evidence to prove that Blackwater's tactics as well as their attitude toward the Iraqi people and culture are inappropriate, to say the very least. The recent incident involving Blackwater contractors opening fire in a predominantly Sunni neighbourhood, killing eight and wounding 13 civilians is the straw that breaks the camels back. Does the US Government really want to run the risk of Blackwater USA starting WW III? It's time for the US Congress to demand that the Department of State and the Department of Defense cancel all contracts with Blackwater USA and order them to depart Iraq immediately. If you agree please sign this petition. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/its-time-to-fire-blackwater It's time to end Blackwater's terror for profit.
