I don't understand the point of asking Prince why we have paid guards? That's not his problem. He's a businessman running a company. If someone thinks we ought not have paid guards, or mercenaries if you want, in this country, then go protest to the Legislative and Executive branches. If the SD or DOD budget has money for this, someone will provide the service, Blackwater or otherwise.
Thanks for clearing up the bad press your company has been receiving. Whether or not Blackwater should be in Iraq, they are doing their job. Their record for protection is perfect.
In addition, if Blackwater and the other security firms weren't in Iraq, more Americans would be there getting killed. That in itself makes private military companies a good thing.

Blackwater should have killed every living thing in the town so there wasn't anybody left. Fuck haji.

"why are you so convinced your guys didnt make a mistake"
I would answer
"why are you so convince they did?"
I love how there doing this show, as if Erik Prince himself was there and killed civilians with his barehands.

merceneries have been around since the Romans, why is anybody surprised that the US has them too. My concern is are they making things worse?
