I am reminded that the same ‘people’ who oppose BLACKWATER are the same folks who are working hard to lose Iraq. Is this a coincidence? I think not. Obviously, these independent contractors are effective … and SOMEONE wants them off the job!
Let me add, it goes without question that the American Military does a great job, but there are ‘things’ that private contractors can do that actually save our military personnel.
When I think of the folks that want us to lose… I am reminded about the ‘importance’ of putting ‘governers’ on our military trucks and strictly adhearing to a 35 mph speed limit. I guess this was and is to allow our people to become better targets? Oh, there I go being a synic.
Blackwater and others serve a purpose, give it up ladies.
