Jeremy Scahill, author of "Blackwater: The Rise of World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" talks to CNN International after Blackwater was banned by the Iraqi government for opening fire in Baghdad, killing at least nine civilians and wounding 18.
We're in the midst right now of a discussion about a surge, and about troop withdrawls, and we hear conflicting messages, but there's been a surge on for 4 years of the private sector in Iraq.."

Blackwater is a very small amount of the budget, and has very little impact on why Iraqis hate us.
I am surprised that your maggoty self even admits that the Iraqis hate us.
We bomb every building except the oil ministry.
At least 70% of the Iraqi casualties are women and children.
We tried to force them into privatizing all of their oil to BP and Dutch shell for the past year, and we threaten to leave them unprotected if they did not. They called the Army's silly bluff and we will pay tons to stay there longer.
I would have to say that anybody who thought we would occupy another country after destroying it, and this would not have them forming a resistence to the occupying Army, is nuts, or should not have on any uniform. You people must be dumber than I thought if you thought they were going to embrace that form of democracy.
Read history. There has never been an occupation without a resistance. Knock, knock puddin head.
Now I have to pay for some swine generals retirements that claims that they are experts on warfare, and that is why we pay thier lazy asses so much, but that little part of the occupation caught thier asses by surprise. He is worth maybe a buck fiddy an hour.
Yup. Its all Blackwaters fault. go figure.
Now go back to your ice cream, you silly maggot.
