WHO’S the BOSS…..Iraq or Blackwater USA?

Yesterday, the Iraqi government headed by Prime Minister Maliki, revoked the operating license of the security firm/private army, Blackwater USA due to their alleged involvement in the deaths of 8 Iraqis and the wounding of more than a dozen more.

The Lang Report published an article on the escalating Military-Industrial Complex esposing Blackwater USA as a very controversial contractor operating in without restriction. UNTIL NOW!

WATCH THIS.....

It is amazing that Blackwater and companies like it have been operating in Iraq all of this time with absolutely no Congressional oversight or knowledge of their actual activities.

 In fact, Congressman Henry Waxman has been looking into Blackwater and related security firms for years and has called it "an indecipherable world of contractors and subcontractors".

It's going to be very interesting to watch the unfolding of events due to the dependence on Blackwater to provide security for all American diplomats and State Department employees.

Oh, and let's not forget that Blackwater and it's founder, Erik Prince have deep connections with the Bush Administration with its Chairman Cofer Black being the former Chief Counter-terrorism official on 9/11!

So don't bet on Blackwater packing up and coming home any time soon. One of the problems that the Iraqi government has with evicting them is that it has zero power to enforce such a decision.

That and the fact that Blackwater USA has a bigger air force and more armored vehicles than the Iraqi army and police put together!!!
