Will Blackwater's defiance of the Iraqi government become a recruiting tool for terrorism?
Is our government that arrogant and/or blind?

Blackwater firing up it's *services* after they've been asked to leave is a very real insult to the Iraqi government. Regardless of whether or not that government is perceived as a puppet -- it's a major screw up.

And Blackwater is to the locals an *army* they can all join together and fight against. Blackwater would probably be very happy to oblige. But our TROOPS will be caught in yet another crossfire!

Talk about unifying the locals. :eyes:

1. Of course. I bet it really boosts recruiting of terrorists ...
to act as Blackwater operatives.

At least the company is properly named -- for sewage.
