| Optio |  Post; Crocker: Blackwater Shooting `horrific'Oct 25, 3:37 PM (ET) By STEVEN R. HURST BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. ambassador said Thursday he still held Blackwater USA bodyguards in "high regard," even as he labeled the killing of 17 Iraqis by the company's security contractors a "horrific" incident that prompted him to call for an FBI investigation. The Iraq government has demanded Blackwater's expulsion within six months and $8 million compensation for each of the victims from the Sept. 16 shootings. Ambassador Ryan Crocker lauded the Blackwater guards, mostly hardened veterans who protect him and other American envoys and officials in Baghdad's dangerous streets. "Those guys guard my back. And I have to say they do it extremely well. I continue to have high regard for the individuals who work for Blackwater as I do for other security contractors. That said, the incident in September was a horrific one," he said. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071025/D8SGF1VO0.html ============  I guess we should ask the people directly affected by a Blackwater eviction... |

. I'm shocked mate, truly I am. Try not insulting people doing a job you're not. Spend time in the friggin sandbox with lil kids tossing grenades, women blowing themselves up and an enemy that dresses just like everyone else. To imply my brothers in arms are racist, mate if you were saying that in the flesh I'd belt ya one.
