Mercenary Company Blackwater Ends Baghdad Operations
The American security firm Blackwater has ended its operations in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
However the company will continue work in other parts of Iraq until September.
The Iraqi government banned Blackwater, now renamed, after its security guards killed up to 17 civilians in Nisoor Square, Baghdad, in 2007.
In January, the US government said it would not renew the company's task orders. Another US firm, Triple Canopy, takes over the contracts.
Blackwater was yet another horrible mistake in the Iraq War. They are private security forces, who are not bound to the Military Code of Justice, who are paid to wage warfare. That is the definition of a mercenary last time I checked. Good riddance, their removal from the whole of Iraq can not come soon enough. Actually they should never have been there to begin with.

As an Iraq war veteran I have scene first hand how these people operate. It's defiantly not as clean and tidy as it looks. It's a bunch of cowboys getting paid big bucks to shoot their guns WHENEVER they want.

Finally Germany's attack on Russia seemed to confirm that Russia was not shirking and was prepared to carry out a foreign policy with the risk of war with Germany.
