The cowardly far-left is rejoicing over the news that 5 Blackwater contractors are being charged with manslaughter for a shooting that took place in Iraq.
The five guards are charged with manslaughter and using a machine gun in a crime of violence. Though they are charged in a sealed indictment in Washington, they surrendered at a federal courthouse in Salt Lake City. The Justice Department is preparing to make the charges public later Monday.
Seventeen Iraqis were killed in the September 2007 shooting. Witnesses said the heavily armed U.S. contractors opened fire unprovoked, killing innocent motorists and children at a crowded intersection.
Blackwater says the contractors returned fire after being ambushed by armed insurgents. Just like the Haditha marines, this prosecution is about politics and nothing else.
Those contractors were operating in a war zone where ambushes were happening hundreds of times a day. If they say they were ambushed — then they were ambushed.
A bunch of suits at the DOJ don’t know what the hell happened that day and therefore should give the benefit of the doubt to Blackwater.
The far-left loves to vilify Blackwater in the same way they vilify president Bush and the war on terror in general. They’re are despicable cowards, who only have the freedom to bitch and complain and vilify because of those who fight on their ungrateful behalf.
The men and women of Blackwater are patriots and all good Americans should stand behind them.
