You guys see this? UNBELIEVABLE.
I was just telling Bulldogg a few days ago I didn't think Blackwater would ever take arms against US soldiers. I was wrong.

Blackwater Ops points weapons at US soldiers in Iraq.

Oct. 15, 2007 issue - The colonel was furious. "Can you believe it? They actually drew their weapons on U.S. soldiers." He was describing a 2006 car accident, in which an SUV full of Blackwater operatives had crashed into a U.S. Army Humvee on a street in Baghdad's Green Zone. The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint until they could disentangle the SUV. His account was confirmed by the head of another private security company. Asked to address this and other allegations in this story, Blackwater spokesperson Anne Tyrrell said, "This type of gossip has led to many soap operas in the press."

Americans civilians pointing weapons at US soldiers??? WTF!!!
Had I been the Colonel I would have sent MPs with arrest warrants for the Blackwater people involved and send them to the stockade as 'enemy combatants'.So lets see...

1. Killing of 17 unarmed civilians -and then lying about it.
2. Killing of 3 US soldiers in Afghanistan while hotdogging in a cargo plane.
3. Weapons smuggling.
4. The killing of a Iraqi diplomats bodyguard
5. The armed detention of US Military personnel.

Whats next??? Furthermore I am sick and tired of listening to Blackwater 101 lame excuses of "why its not our fault".
