Watch the Bush team bend over backwards to try and keep Blackwater in country. They're far too close to the far-right Crusader movement and CIA dirty ops.

I predict that Blackwater will stay in Iraq. Given the truckloads of U.S. taxpayer money that they've been raking in, Bush and Blackwater will find a way to preserve the bonanza.
I also predict that numerous bricks made entirely of U.S. 100-dollar bills will exchange hands and Blackwater's future in Iraq will be assured, and I base this part of my prediction on absolutely nothing.

It's already happening. Iraqi government is now backing down. "Investigations" are to occur, Blackwater will stay. Maybe someone told Maliki that he might meet with an unfortunate accident if he pushed too hard to have them thrown out.

SEE THE BIG WORD IN THE STORY ABOUT BLACKWATER IS REPUBLICAN. IF IT WAS HILLARY OR ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT FOX NEWS WOULD GET THE INFORMATION FROM THE RNC THEN THE REST OF THE RIGHT-WING STATIONS WHO GET THERE NEWS FROM FOX WOULD THEN JUMP ALL ON THE STORY.
