Blackwater kicked out of Iraq!

[normbc9]

It took a while but now the clandestine US militia has been unceremoniously kicked out of Iraq over some questions about the shooting of innocent Iraqi's. Now the logistical nightmare of getting this group and the support resources out of the country by the date set for them to leave. This refusal to renew the permits sends a message to the American military machine. Now the recriminations will begin. Lets see how the new administration reacts to this news.

Blackwater is going to have to change it's name and company number in
order to continue in its field (in the same theatre?). Whitewater sounds so
much cooler than Brownwater, doesn't it?

Blackwater is a terrorist group. Its leader Bush also gets the boot:

Just in case anyone here is not familiar with Blackwater:

It's a good thing. Now get every single American out of the country and you'll have some real progress. Leave Iraq to the Iraqis.

What about Yellowwater?

What about Yellowwater?

Wouldn't Whitewash be more appropriate?

I'm sure that's coming.

What? No cons rushing to their defence?:lol:

Cons once again show they are intellectual cowards.:roll:

Blackwater just filed it's new corporate name change papers. The new moniker will be Xe. I guess that is supposed to help them overcome the bad reputation they earned here in the US. Same pig, different shade of lipstick.

Yes, there has been a change here in CC. A couple of years ago, anything Bush did, no matter how stupid it was, was defended to no end by the forum's far right. I wonder what took so long for them to see the light. But, glad to see that change.
