The occupation of Iraq would not be possible without Blackwater.

[Postman]

There aren't enough military personnel to replace what it is that Blackwater does.

If you add the current uniformed military forces with the Blackwater forces, what I call Bush's Brownshirts, you come to a number close to 300,000....

1. I saw some punk with a Blackwater t-shirt on at the airport

I really wanted to give him a piece of my mind but thought better of it.
I don't think I would have shown much restraint. Blackwater blows.

2. Anyone working for Blackwater in any capacity should be

ashamed. They are the tools of a fascist criminal regime that has taken over this country. :dem:

3. Murder for Hire AND they dragged our Troops with them through their lobbyists, various 527s, and

churches.

4. I read recently, sorry don't remember where, that they were

involved in policing after Katrina. That's the scariest thing, that they might actually start working as police reinforcement here when the Iraq occupation finally ends.

5. They're just a semi-elite, semi-covert branch of the US military. n/t

7. And to think that one of the objections of the Revolution...

was to a standing army...one beholden only to the king.

8. Occupation is not possible, period.

Blackwater makes it seem like there are enough forces there.
