I think

Don't want a department name..this was appreved by SOMEBODY.
Who was it ..
we all would like to know what is going on.

a great injustice to all of us.

who is he..someone from BW?

This is interesting, and revealing.

Ambassador Richard J. Griffin,
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Diplomatic Security and Director of the Office of Foreign Missions, Department of State

a call from Bush yet?
Telling him "Prince you did a heck of a job."

oops spelling

or are they holdovers from a previous admin? Anyone know?

ask no questions?

Who is their boss? Con-druel-eeza?

Be cool if she got her sorry warmongering ass hauled before Waxman too.

the tactics of BW is when a speeding vehicle approaches...INCLUDING THROWING WATER BOTTLES AT THE VEHICLE??

snippy isn't he?

run by the government, because a privatised administration of it was viewed as patently unsuited for the purpose.

Unfortunately, it seems that the poisoned fountainhead of this process in all its manifestations, is the Pentagon and State Department, the government's interface with the military-industrial complex, effectively, in fulfilment of Eisenhower's warning.

we are the only ones who ever see the crap that's taken place under Bush?

Is everyone in our Government blind to the truth? ( except for Waxman of course)

I just cannot believe our Congress continues to look blindly past the obvious, and carries on like its anything but criminal. When criminal is what this is ALL about.

Man, I just want to scream sometimes!!!

not those that have ignored our messages sent last November and throughout US history, currently being revised by BFEE since our US Constitution was papered over

It must have been rehersed!!!!

:hi:

And the guy is not helping him lol!

HE WANTS A JOB WITH BLACKWATER...PROBABLY BE VOTED OUT NEXT ELECTION!

they are shooting up cars at random on the road.

Search "elvis iraq" on youtube.

not reflect our values, geez, stop the fuck lying.

but my question is how do these criminals continue to escape with impunity.

One more thing -has a single Rethug condemned these mercenaries?

I joined late and they sound like Bush parrots.

gotten away with so much stuff they will keep on pushing until someone/somebody/anybody pushes back.

:puke:

you have to get back to us about how you 'FEEL'...:rofl:

congressman asked if there was an investigation of a shooting

This is SICK beyond understanding!

geez, what a mafia group.

:eyes:

that's what he said..or did he betrayus ???

like she's an idiot?? What a jerk!! :grr:

She, if anyone, is up on what's going on in Iraq!

Satterfield.

:puke:

I haven't heard any mention yet of domestic jobs that Blackwater does for the government.

the CPA gave jobs to EXTREMELY unqualified people based on their 'loyalty' to the repuglican party..:grr:

:thumbsup:

they knew the CPA was leaving and the state department would be taking over...WHY THE EMERGENCY?

I am going to sign out soon.

regularly will show up soon!

what a cover up.

reminded me of Watergate

these people suck - diplomats my ass!

And Waxman kept saying "Your time has expired, I'm just going by the rules".

I missed most of it, spent the afternoon with my sister. Now watching David fill in for tucker, Jack Jacobs just up!
