BASRA, Iraq - Four American security guards were killed Wednesday when a bomb targeted a US diplomatic convoy in the southern Iraqi town of Basra, a British diplomat said.

<snip>

"The four Americans who have been killed were all in the front car" leading the convoy, he said.

Pictures taken at the scene in northern Basra showed a silver-coloured four-wheel drive vehicle on its roof with two bodies, wearing bullet-proof jackets, nearby.

British forces in the area said they were investigating the incident, but that "no British forces or other multinational forces" were involved.

1. Oh, this is all so

pre-Katrina </sarcasm>

[leetrisck]

2. Prayers for all and for our

Countries.

[0007]

13. How many countries do the U.S. have now days?

[leetrisck]

15. I always do prayers for all of our people, our Country,

our Military and the people & Countries that we have invaded. Therefore "our Countries"

[0007]

17. You mean to tell me that

The policy of United Stated is extending its authority by territorial acquisition and by the establishment of economic and political hegemony over other nations?

The countries we have invaded are ours? Give me a fucking goddamn break.

[leetrisck]

18. I would love to give you

a goddamned break (right where it matters) - you choose to read that the way you want to read it. I could put it in other words but I won't bother - if you're so miserably * not to see the caring for all the people's in those countries then you are definitely the one with the problem and I do mean big problems. (The United States and all people-OUR COUNTR) The Iraq & Afghanistan Countries and their people (Their Countries) Prayers for all our people and our Countries.

19. You still haven't answered my questions. What counties do we own?

But I guess your anger and violent temper has got the best of you, that you can only resort to threats, and garbage rhetoric, instead of civil logic.

I suggest an anger course for you and please accept my humble prayers for your psychotic post.

22. Miscommunication, methinks.

Read my sig line. I believe the original poster's prayers had something similar in mind.


On edit: my sig line didn't show...so here ya go...

If what philosophers say of the kinship of God and Men be true, what remains for men to do but as Socrates did:-never, when asked one’s country, to answer, “I am an Athenian or a Corinthian,” but “I am a citizen of the world.” - Epictetus. (c.A.D. 50-c.A.D. 138). The Golden Sayings of Epictetus

23. Prayers for ALL COUNTRIES, ALL PEOPLE

We do not own any countries - at least I hope not. With a play on 0007, you are sure a fine one to say anything to anyone. My entire Military family, My entire Contractor Family, My Entire Veteran Family send prayers all around the world for all of us.

[0007]

25. Thank you! Now how hard was that my friend? Not entirely hard, eh?

......and prayers to all is great leetrisck. Works for Pat Robertson.

[leetrisck]

27. Well, it turned out to be one of my relatives

so now you can be happy. I'm so sorry I've ever had any contact or responses from any of you.

[0007]

28. Why do you think I'd be happy? I'm never happy for lost of life

for anyone and especially over a blatant lie of WMD.

You have my deepest condolence. I'm sorry.

[SlowDownFast]

3. I wish I could say I was sorry for those Blackwater guys...

[leetrisck]

5. Do you know what companies are involved?

It doesn't matter to me if you are sorry for any of us - but it would be very important to me to know the companies involved and I didn't see any names.

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. Blackwater is the security company contracted to guard embassy personnel

according to a Frontline program from May or June of this year.

Mercs are scumbags.

[leetrisck]

16. Look - I'm not looking for sympathy -

it doesn't name the Company - there are many, many security companies in Iraq. Blackwater is only one of many. (& for the very purpose that you mentioned - Blackwater & others.)

[leftchick]

8. photo of the scene ... graphic!

Blackwater is hired to protect the American puppets. This sure looks like them.

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. That's a shame

And that's all I gotta say about that...

[Stevious]

6. more bad news from Iraq

12. I shed no tears for the Murderous Hessians

n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. Hey, many of the Hessian "mercenaries" were press ganged into service

They weren't getting paid, really. It was their German princling who collected the British cash. That's why they had such a high desertion rate. Many simply up and left, accounting for much of the German-descended population of Pennsylvania, for instance.

[tom_paine]

21. My apologies to the Hessian for comparing them to Blackwater scum

I hear they're helping out in Louisiana now

24. Who is Blackwater Protecting in New Orleans?

Anyone have a picture of Bremer in New Orleans?

Why aren't more questions being asked about this?

[daleo]

26. Bush says - "Forget about New Orleans"

"This is more important - mercs were killed."
