Does any other country employ Blackwater? |
|
Just wondering, does any other country employ Blackwater? I suppose what passes for a Government in Iraq may be giving them work, but who else? Saudi maybe? Its interesting to ponder who's side they would back up if they were on both sides.

He has worked extensively for Lebanon. I have oft wondered that too. My guess is they would be loyal to the highest bidder.

2. since they are fairly hardcore Christian (at least in theory) |
|
I doubt they would work for non-Christians, but then again maybe their greed is stronger.
I don't see them needing to expand at the moment - Bush has already made sure they have work for as long as they want.
