Blackwater mercenaries killing Iraqi civilians, then having child prostitutes bussed in to service them for a buck a piece. And no accountability. Is this a great country or what???
I bet jay Leno knows that 9/11 was an Inside Job. I'm also willing to bet it was private contractors such as blackwater that rigged the thermite bombs in the 3 wtc buildings weeks before 9/11.
1:29 notice how mainstream establishment journalist look at Jermey Schahill in a way like: How dare you speak about a taboo subject and bring out the truth to people like that? Don't you know better, "we" spent our lifes trying to protect the "minority against the majority" and selling the ruling class view and political establishment! But chuck got owned by Jermey, exactly what a state worshipper deservers!!
Something that would be hugh news if the media covered it. Health care coverage has dominted the media and sadly this will be scrolled at the bottom of the screen.
Using Blackwater means the US can be less accountable in war since they only have the legal right to expose the actions of the US military and not Blackwater.
this guys is like my hero now he should run for office i predict the world would be a better place but he should def speak up more about this stuff. love his courage and is more patriotic by callin out us government...this guy is the real deal.
Mercenary groups get the missions that the govenrment doesn't want to be held accountable for participating in. Osama bin laden is a mercenary of sorts. This shit goes on everywhere.
It seemed as if Leno had never heard of any of this before. That really says something about how uninformed the public must be about these issues. Hopefully Leno will invite him on his show. He seemed very interested.
How did this get through congress in terms of budget? That's really the bottom line. How the hell did congress approve money to pay contractors all of this money when we have at least four armed services branches designed to fight wars.
When Pelosi was elected, and refused to end the wars, we should have cut the budget... and now, it's perfectly obvious that all of us who were thinking - cut the budget, were 100% right.
You invade a country that never harmed you. To Destroy The Infrastructure, Kill millions. kill the taxi drivers, shepards, journalists, workers water medical, electric, roads, farmers, fisheries, ..ect. Making whatever survivors helpless, dependant on begging to live
And then you BRAG about 'giving' them help as you set up and protect your own corporate profiting via your own armed Forces + civilian mercenaries. A war crime.
Actually Blackwater killed former American soldier Scotty Helvenston by purposely sending him into one of the hottest zones in Fallujah in an UNARMORED JEEP! No Blackwater contractor had been sent into these zones previously without a fully armored truck.
The Government doesn't want to call a draft because they don't want to debate the war in Congress. There are too many Rep. and Dem. soccer moms who wouldn't want their kids to be drafted. So the gov. is forced to carry on their wars of aggression and Imperialism with hired guns. Desert Storm was the first war in our history were the U.S. called up the National Guard instead of calling a draft. The current wars in the Mid-East represent the second time. The use of mercs will lead to disaster.
The American people would not stand for another draft after Vietnam, especially one without overwhelming support. It doesnt matter if congress would stand for it, because voters would not.
Thank you jeremy scahill for being one of the few writers who isn't afraid to tell hard truths and ask serious questions. Todd is just a corporate news clown. The other day he also dismissed the military coup in Honduras with an attitude of "eh, it's not that serious."
jeremy scahill is one of very few Americans that we should be listening to right now. hes one of the only people who possess the fortitude to combat the growing christian supremacist movement in this country
