Where else are those 160,000 men going to get such fat paychecks and where else will Prince get a billion a year?

2. Yes,
That's about the only obvious point that didn't come up in the hearings today. Wish it would have. Would have loved to have seen Prince Charming choke on it.

Where is it Blackwater's job or within its power to end the war??
I should just give up this board. It's getting truly depressing.

5. Of Course It Isn't And They Can't
But I do believe they might have good reason to incite, to keep it going.

6. If so, such efforts would be a raindrop in an ocean.
Blackwater's incapable of keeping the war going by itself or anything close. They're just not the only problem with Iraq.

8. But Of Course They Aren't The Only Problem
However, they are an additional incendiary part of it. And without this war, where do they go?

7. They need to be outlawed
We Ban Assult weapons don't we

Then why in the Hell do we have a para-military mercenary group operating within the boarders of America.

It is just begging for trouble
