So who is Blackwater? And who is paying for their services in Iraq?

The answer to the first part of the question in my headline is answered in the above video. The answer to the second part is, we do.

If anybody is still having trouble understanding why the Bush administration is so against pulling out of Iraq, you could come up with many theories, from the desire to start a war to usher in the return of Jesus Christ to the single minded obsession to control the world's oil.

But one of the other, even more compelling, reason may simply be that it is a goldmine to Bush supporters. Oil companies, arms dealers, and companies like Blackwater, are making money hand over fist.

Of all of the possible reasons not to leave Iraq, this may be the most abhorrent. To keep our soldiers in harms way simply to help your associates to profit from their deaths. The more soldiers that die, the more private security Bush will need in Baghdad and the surrounding areas to protect others that work with our government.

The truly sad thing is that we just have to throw this on the pile of other Bush criminal activities that we have uncovered over the last six years. Just what does it take to get a President impeached around here anyway?

(I must give a hat tip to my friend Enigma over at Watergate Summer who brought this video to my attention.)
