3. This company continues to operate in Iraq today.

The war is not over for the Iraqi people regardless of the removal of US troops.

4. I'd like to know why Obama is still funding these criminals

And why am I unwittingly helping by paying my Taxes.

6. I ask myself the same question.. OWS should be just say no to taxes.

I wounder that same thing.
Or if the top pay 15% why should we pay.
they have the gifts and pass the laws that rob us.

Just say no!
are we all cattle that are born with a brand that said tax slave.

we all know the answer.
We will pay because.. we are afraid to stand up for whats right.
Plus Well Fargo will make more when they lock us up.

7. It's them or nobody

They won't let any other contractors operate in their "territory".
Multibillionaire company own the market and would attack other contractors before allowing them to take away their jobs.

There is no choice. We just need to get out of the areas so we don't have to utilize contractors at all. We sure as hell out to ban them from the states.

13. one time

At one time in this 'war', there were more of these MURDERERS in Iraq than american soldiers. Tell's about bush, cheney and rumsfelds' priorities. Kill as many as possible, doesn't matter, they're just Iraquis. Hell,during the Katrina aftermath they patrolled the streets in New Orleans. I wonder how many people they killed there? Ban them? Never happen.

5. for the obama admin maybe its just like drones only driving on tires nt

[Jamastiene]

8. K&R&Reposted to FB.

That is truly disgusting. I despise Blackwater (or whatever they call themselves now), for those very reasons.

[Dokkie]

10. At least its not the

Iraqi govt doing the killing cos if that was the case then the US and UN will definitely use it as a justification to invade. Dont kill your own people, its the job of our private contractors

[KansDem]

11. And yet, we need to cut Social Security and Medicare...

...so we can continue to fund these mercenaries.

[marshall gaines]

12. nooooo!

They wouldn't do anything like that.

14. no Elvis music?

15. One cannot expect the US to be responsible for the actions of its contractors: with their huge

paychecks, they must surely feel a big-headed swagger and accountable to no one?

[Cali_Democrat]

16. And Americans wonder why the Iraqis hate our guts

Just like Americans wonder why we were attacked on 9/11.

Many Americans wonder because they don't pay attention.

17. Thank you for posting

Since a right wing moron isn't likely to listen to a moral argument, I suggest using a pragmatic one. Mercenary contractors like Blackwater (I've lost track of what their name is this week) have a vested interest in armed conflict. They may start mischief in some obscure corner of the globe because it is good business for them to do so. Also, they could contract with who knows what scoundrel of a dictator somewhere, just because he's got the money to pay them. That's good business, too. And then they could end up fighting to defend said scoundrel of a dictator who pays them against American combat troops, or being lined up against a wall and shot because they refuse to protect their sugar daddy, said scoundrel of a dictator, from American combat troops.

Yes, they should be defunded and outlawed as soon as possible. Mercenary contractors have a great capability to make the world a very messy place.
