Out. Why pay them that much to do jobs the military could be doing if (perhaps) we paid the military similarly.
Plus, the Iraquis want them out.

They should stay in. I read an article last night that there are over 300 contractor firms in Iraq. Blackwater has never lost anyone in their protective custody and they are given the riskiest security jobs of any other firm. They have an outstanding record of protection. If Iraq wants them out, they need to be able to take over the security duties Blackwater is currently performing, but, they aren't able to at this time.

How many wars has the US been in that we needed an organization like Blackwater?
In past wars didn't the military provide all of the services Blackwater is in Iraq?
What is up with that????

I feel that people need to stop condemning Blackwater based on nothing but political bias.
The fact of the matter is that we only have one side of the story in the shooting incident.
I bet that the people condemning Blackwater would scream if their own standards of fairness and open-mindedness were applied to themselves.
However I do feel that Blackwater should refuse to provide protective services for the news media and the Democrats.

In. They do a great job, none of the people they've shuttled have ever died. They simply shoot more people because they are a bigger target than other security firms. If you were a terrorist leader who would you go after, the convoy carrying Condaleeza Rice or the guys guarding a construction site? It's a no-brainer. And as far as 'civilian' casualties, if you believe every wailing Iraqi on TV, you obviously don't know anyone fighting over there. It's modus operandi for insurgents to strip the guns off people who get shot fighting us. That includes women and children. Then they come out crying to demoralize us and make us look bad in the media. War is hell, trying to make it PC is impossible.

Blackwater should stay in Iraq because every person they have guarded is alive. I think the reason they want them out is they are successful. Perhaps if there were more of them the problem in Iraq would be sorted by now.

Why is it in there in the first place. Non govenment owned military units are dangerous at best catastrophic at worst.
As it is, a large portion of american military force is out of the country, which is even more dangerous.
What if blackwater is sent back, and decides thay can run USA better? Will the small portion of US military be able to defend the country from blackwater fifth columns?
******* dangerous.

Blackwater should be disbanded entirely.

In my opinion they should be thrown out,disbanded and prosecuted for the indiscriminate shooting dead of innocent men women and children.(that's why the Iraqis want them out Vanessa!)
