I hear news that some of The War President's mercenaries have shot
at OUR TROOPS in Iraq.:wtf:

At least that's the gist of reports about Zapata "contractors".

I talked to a NCO who had returned from Iraq last year and he said that Blackwater "contractors' had shot civilian demonstrators in the face in Fallujah and that this escalated to the point of our US Armed Forces being ordered to take reprisals for mercenaries.

The demonstrators were protesting the closure of media that had been reporting on the torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib, Paul Bremer and his Iraqi toadies ordered the media shutdown, this is how Blackwater got involved.

Then there are the Titan and CACI "contractors" that tortured and abused at Abu Ghraib then simply walked on to other assignments.

These mercenaries are condemned worldwide-but not by The War President's administration.

I'm looking forward to the day when OUR TROOPS eliminate mercenary threats threatening US troops and spreading anti-Americanism with their War President's administration sanctioned crimes.

Mercenaries shooting at OUR TROOPS-this is another example of the failed, criminal Bush Doctrine and the Rumsfeld/Myers DoD that hired them.

1. I have no pity for mercenaries.
I can respect an enemy, but not a mercenary. I'd sooner trust an 11-year old with a flame-thrower than trust a mercenary with anything.

3. I hope they learn a lesson about force protection if they take shots at US
military, they were supposedly involved in force protection too-how many of OUR TROOPS have to die or be wounded for these war profiteering scum employed by George W. Bush aka The War President?
:nuke:

7. If our troops "accidentally" killed all the mercs after being fired upon
you would get no tears from me.

6. our whole military is mercenary, really
They are signing on for cash bonuses. They know full well what their job will be, brutalizing Iraqis.

Sounds like mercenaries to me.
