Blackwater works for Hillary, and she works for Barry. Both are total hypocrites in this matter. Bring back the draft, it provides a necessary balance.

The government is going to do the same in Iraq for State Department personnel after the military draw down so they can immigrate muslims to the US without having to put their life in danger. The State Department has already asked that Black Hawk helicopters, crews, maintenance, armored vehicles and more be transferred to their record keeping. The have already planned security for the Bush-Cheney US Embassy in Baghdad.

I find it amazing how the gereral public takes what the media writes as all true facts. Most of you only have what you read from BS sorces and Jeremy Scahill as a point of reference for the Blackwater saga. Those guys do a job that none of you would ever consider. The big idea is to let the military do the job, well guess what....every one of the guys in that line of work are former military guys hired for their experience and qualifications to do the work. Until any of you have been in the situation of making a split second judgment on which you either live or die, then i don't see your validity in commenting on what these guys do. All you have is a outside view of the job and a few unfortunate situations that got mis represented by the media. I can tell you for sure that the job is to protect life and not to go out looking to take life. Sometimes you have to take life to protect others, it is unfortunate but neverthelass the way it is.

here is a question for you all. If contractors were disallowed and the military took up the positions held by the contractors, Would you support a draft to be able to man the needed numbers to do it? Or would you **** and whine about that to?

I find this very disturbing and discouraging that this administration continues to have a relationship with a firm that is the subjest of multiple lawsuits re: subpar workmanship, criminal negligence, wrongful death, 40+ American soldiers electrocuted by poor workmanship. allegations of rape, wanton murder of Iraqi citizens. This is appauling and we need to let the White House know about it too. This is beyond the pale. Seems the worse these folks act the better the goverment likes them. Disgusting.

"Blackwater Firm Gets $120M U.S. Gov't Contract"



There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

The real reason the wars in the Middle East are continuing!
Thanks Obama for continuing the Bush legacy: everything for Big Business!
