| Tribunus Laticlavius | I think the poll is oversimplified, but I voted to see them gone.

| Spam King | the more I find out about them the more furious I am. they get paid more than the US army, they can't get court martialed because they're civillians, yet they say they can't be prosecuted in civil court because they're military. They have better armor than our troops, too. The entire city of Fallujah was destroyed because 4 blackwater guys were killed. Some of them have no loyalty to the US, the same way that the Hessian mercenaries had no loyalty to the British during the American Revolutionary War. Does a person from Sri Lanka honestly care what happens to Americans in Iraq? GOODBYE!

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I think the military should take over, it'd probably be cheaper AND safer in the long run.

| Optio | News flash - EVERY G*D D**N independent contractor is paid more than your boot on the ground! = If you want Blackwater out - who do you replace them with? Take the military off the table, they were brought in because the military is unable at this time to provide protection. When Ready Reserve, Guard and IRR troops are being asked to go above and beyond when it comes to mobilization - where else do you find the resources to backfill the hole created by kicking Blackwater out? = I strongly disagree with Blackwater's curent contract concerning immunity. They need to be held accountable for any killings that cannot be justified. I would (as they currently are doing) pass a law making them accountable and move on from there... |

I suggest we just leave. Not Cut and run-- The US soldiers have freed the Iraqis, latest reports say Al Qaeda is gone, they've completed their missions. Bring them home to parades. | |
