Another sad chapter in the whole American-Iraqi mess is written.
 
And somehow this company is still legally around (just renamed a couple times)

If companies were banned for employees breaking the law none would exist. Nice "blame the group" mentality you've got there. Does the same apply to Muslims?

The US government held them accountable, which is more than I can say for the government of Iraq or any of the Mideast ****holes you regularly defend.

What is this "blame the group" mentality you are talking about?

If a company was involved in numerous war crimes, corruption scandals, arms smuggling, murders, fraud, etc. The list goes on and on... Its not blame the group, its "how the **** is this group still around"?

Well stating that its not "blame the group".

The US government held them accountable,
Yea.. :roll: The one case of many. The rest they refuse to hold accountable and the rest refuse to investigate or hold a trial for.

:lamo What!? I "regularly defend" the Iraqi government? What in the **** are you talking about now? More baseless accusations from Ecofarm? I think so.

Lol, the us government held them accountable. :roll: as you point out, the company hasn't been held accountable near enough. It was Dick Cheney's terrorist group.

As though you're not obsessed with Obama. I didn't speak to Haliburton, this is about Cheney's darkly named terror group, Blackwater!!!

You mean like the Iranian and the Castro regimes?

It's the company! A Legion of Doom, if you will!


****ing spare me.
 
of course these guys will just disappear and resurface somewhere else. These guys are part of the corporate goon structure that gets "Americans" into all kinds of trouble. Blackwater is now Academi https://www.academi.com/pages/about-us

Last I checked the Iranians and Castro's were not employees of a private mercenary firm. I may be wrong, but I think this thread is about "Ex-Blackwater contractors sentenced in Nusoor Square shooting in Iraq". I mean I know its hard for you to stay on topic, but lets try here and not move the goalposts around..

My criticisms of Obama aren't based on ridiculous false narratives and talking points.

I can give very specific examples of Obama's deceit and failed policies and don't have to rely on platitudes to justify my criticisms.

People that were sucked in by the " lied us into war " Democrat narrative typically support Obama and his policies.

The rest of us weren't gullible enough to buy into the Bush / Cheney hate Fest that was so prevalent back during Bush's presidency.

We realize he's the last honest President we've had in some time.

Why did this take place in the U.S and not Iraq if iraq was a soverign democracy the whole time we were there?
