The clock will tick on — Bush will be gone, Only then can we begin to untangle this mess.

I did not hire them and I don’t support them. I think they shame our country by their actions. It’s not okay to kill civilians and rape women. I have the utmost respect for our troops.</p> I mean Blackwater. I did not hire them and I don’t support them. I think they shame our country by their actions.

In either case, I strongly believe you should retract that statement. Further, no matter how it may be rationalized, we hired them and sent them there — and, keep them there. We all share blame.</p> I am not sure if you’re referring to troops or mercenaries. In either case, I strongly believe you should retract that statement.
