Well that didn’t help much…Blackwater is back in action.

As of today, Blackwater has resumed operations in Iraq. Even after killing unknown numbers of innocent Iraqi civilians, Blackwater’s boys (and girls?) are back on the streets of Baghdad.

As stated in the article, “A top aide to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had earlier conceded it may prove difficult for the Iraqi government to follow through on threats to expel Blackwater and other Western security contractors.” Well yeah it fucking would! I would argue that it would be even more difficult to kick out the Blackwater folks than it would to kick out the United States military.

Seriously, Blackwater’s troops are heavily armed and completely immune to any rule of law anywhere worldwide. How in the fuck would be Iraqi government kick them out?

It’s ridiculous that our government is allowing their mercenaries to remain in Iraq, much less still paying these assholes. It really is no accident that Mr. Prince, the guy who runs Blackwater, is a Bush family friend and Christian extremist. His company will get away with anything, no matter what.

We need to express our outrage at the resuming of Blackwater activity in Iraq without a proper investigation into what they are doing. At the least, oeprations should be suspended until a conclusion can be reached. Call your representatives and let them know how pissed you are that your tax dollars are going to pay these assholes.
