Comments on: Blackwater Chief Welcomes Extra Oversight

Founder Erik Prince Says Blackwater Guards Came Under Fire In Controversial Shooting

[tnt1954]

i just read about denard, famous infamous, french
mercenary chief who staged coups with or without
french government consent all over africa and
the middle east and the comoros islands specifically.
we americans are so full of our own bull. others
have far more irons in the fire than us, and can
take down an eagle with one blow also. they can
also throw a bull market into a tailspin with
the flick of a switch. like ulysses s. grant,
we take food for granted. the deuxieme bureau
is no piece of cake, and neither is the french
foreign legion. pour quois? s''il vous plait?
merci? mercy.

Overall it comes down to this: if Iraq kicks out our private security forces, pull all the contractors and diplomats protected by them, let Iraq rebuild on it''s own. It is clear the Iraqi''s can not handle the job of protecting the contractors responsible for rebuilding, and I for one would not even consider aiding the rebuilding efforts without private security protection. I have the utmost respect for our troops and what they are accomplishing but private security forces primary mission is to protect the specific people assigned to them, which is what they have DONE. Overall, if our private security forces are pulled, remove everybody they are responsible for protecting, clearly Iraq thinks they can do a better job.
