I heard on MSNBC this AM that Blackwater's Erik Prince Moves to Abu Dhabi ?....

[ElsewheresDaughter]

He isn't to bright is he?

After all the horror he is responsible for in Iraq and the ME. Why on earth would he do this?

It would just make it so easy for any Iraqi person or al Qeada to kill him. Has he even thought about this aspect of the move. If an Iraqi mother or father of one of those mangled children ever finds this news out, and are looking to get revenge on those responsible for all their horror. Well Mr. Prince, it seems to me that you just made their job that much easier.

SO Eric if I were you I would really re-think this whole move thing and your reasons for doing so,"I'm fed up with the United States." Because I don't think that just changing the name of your company from Blackwater to Xe is going to do all that much in the way of protecting your ass. Seriously are you insane?

WASHINGTON — Erik Prince, whose company, Blackwater Worldwide, is for sale and whose former top managers are facing criminal charges, has left the United States and moved to Abu Dhabi, according to court documents.

and it's being discussed on MSNBC right now on Morning Joe.

I'll post the link or a video clip if it and when it becomes available.

1. It would serve him right. . . . if some of those families caught

him out that he murdered their relatives.

I recall all the noise from the reich about black helicopters.
His black choppers used to buzz our house. We are about 30 45 minute flight directly west of their pirate base in Monock NC.

Just a few wks after we had moved in (after having our home in town ransacked by nsa or fbi..done while we were not home no less) they started buzzin over about 20 30 ft up barely clearing the trees.
I got a very good look several times while I was working on the house roof so I was very close as they passed by the forward one turning on the axis so as to point the weapons. And I could see in side and these guys were all decked out for battle with body armor, camo, and guns strapped on them. This was 2007/8.

The first time I saw 5 fully armed blackhawks, with 50 mm machine cannon, 20 mm maching guns, several had sidewinder type missiles on them..now what were they doing flying over civilian rural homes.
It was not a one time thing it went every week or two for about 2 yrs until that last abortion left the WH. Recently I have only seen unarmed passenger type choppers maybe 1 2x a month.

2. Good place for him

And he should take Darth Cheney with him.

3. Is there an extradition treaty with Abu Dhabi?

just askin . . .

[wmbrew0206]

9. No there is not, that is why he chose it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. Wonder if Abu Dhabi has no extradition treaty with USA?

Or any other court.

It is where the war criminals are moving to, with their ill gotten gains.

5. He's running from potential murder charges here

And he probably believes he's one of the safest people on the planet. He's got mercenaries and God Almighty on his side.

[walldude]

11. Exactly... there is no altruistic motive here

the guy is running from prosecution. He's a scumbag.

[Starry Messenger]

6. Maybe he has work there.

Blackwater is apparently going to get away with their evil deeds in our courts. A man of his skills is probably in demand.

7. The world is very small. Why would you not think they have news of this in Iraq?

While Iraq is war torn, it is not uncivilized or unsophisticated. They get news there. Rest assured they do.

8. When you think about it, Eric Prince's story is a lot like bin Laden's.

Pampered rich kid turned fundi merc, kills a bunch of people for the United States government, sense of entitlement leads to legal trouble, has to leave the country.

Last I heard, Black Water was bought by Monsanto.

10. I thought this was old news. It has been known for a while Prince was not going to

stay in the US.

Abu Dhabi is a non-extradition country and is use to hosting lots of rich individuals who have lots of people who want to kill them. Sort of the prefect place for Prince.
