Baghdad has expressed disappointment at a US judge's decision to dismiss murder charges against five members of the private security firm Blackwater.

A US court ruled on Thursday that prosecutors had improperly built their case against the men who were accused of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in 2007.

But Iraqi officials said they are determined to bring the gaurds to account, describing them as "murderers".

Al Jazeera English's Nick Spicer reports.

1. Those assholes have the blood of Americans on their hands...
as well as that of Iraqis.

Their murderous behavior, to a certainty, inspired many people to hunt or kill any Americans they could. It is more than likely that good soldiers died because of those assholes, and there is more to come.

Many times I've asked RW shitheads what they would have done if foreign mercenaries killed their friends or family, and they shut right the fuck up.

By GOD I'm having a hard time trying not to hate these people, but they and folks like the Blackwater mercs are inspiring.

3. Did you notice on the video how the perpetrators are smiling?

This is typical of those who have no conscience; their enjoying the attention they are getting, and have no remorse what so ever for what they have done.

2. Shouldn't we allow the Iraqi army a chance to come to our country and arrest the terrorists?

And if they're based in a suburb somewhere they'll just have to shell it and all the people killed around them were clearly XE sympathizers.

4. I think the Iraqi's should give our government some ultimatums.
1) Turn over the murderess terrorist or we will "sticks and stone" you into the dark ages."
or
2) Turn over the murderess terrorist or we will "jump up and down and squeal in protest, while nothing is ever done; as an epitome to our new found pretend democracy."
or
3) Turn over the murderess terrorist or we will "use our newly liberated voices to say we are no better off than when Saddam Hussein was tyrant..."

or...

6. good...and I hope they get some real justice too.
Blackwater is a bunch of murdering thugs..and deserved to be prosecuted for the murders and violence they have done and caused.
