Iraq threatens action against U.S. security firm

BAGHDAD — Iraqi authorities on Monday threatened to revoke the license of a private U.S. company that guards top American officials here, including U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker, saying the company's employees killed at least nine people Sunday in a shooting spree in central Baghdad.

Whether the Iraqi Interior Ministry will be able to enforce its decision to ban North Carolina-based Blackwater Security from operating in Iraq is likely to be a major test between the government of Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki and the United States.

Blackwater, founded by a major Republican Party benefactor, is among the most prominent — and most controversial — of dozens of companies that provide security to both government and private individuals in Iraq. In 2003, the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority exempted the companies and their employees from prosecution under Iraqi law, but Iraqi officials disputed whether that exemption remains in effect, and U.S. officials declined to comment.

"We will work on punishing and stopping the work of the foreign security company that committed the criminal operation in Al Nisour Square," Maliki told Iraqi state television.

Iraq has decided to finally rid themselves of Bush's criminal influence on their country, and has given up on the hopes that the USA can or will ever strip Bush of his tyrannical power via Impeachment.
What Country is backing Iraq in doing so, I wonder...that they are more confident now in ridding themselves of Bush?

Just a thought, but seems if Iraq is prepared to demand Blackwater out of their country, and they don't seem to be backing down, could Russia (or some other country) be standing solidly behind Iraq in getting rid of US influence.

I dont see Iraq doing this on their own. Another larger power is involved.
I see things shifting in Iraq and NOT in GWBush's favor.
