Maliki Accuses Blackwater of Challenging Iraq’s Sovereignty

File under: No shit.

I have a question for you, Mr al-Maliki. Say toady, what's not challenging your country's sovereignty about the Bush machinations? Those are OK because Bush gives you gravitas?

Just because Bush is one, you don't have to be a hypocrite to run a country.

Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki said Sunday that the shooting of Iraqi civilians last week by Blackwater USA, a private American security company, amounted to a challenge to the nation’s sovereignty, but he added that the his government was working jointly with the United States to bring those responsible to justice.

All that aside, al-Maliki's right. Blackwater is a cancer and should be cut out as soon as possible.
