Why does someone's religion have to be included in their criticisms? I do believe that the Constitution contains a certain amendment that states all of us, as Americans, have the right to freedom of religion. If you are such a liberal, which I am assuming you are since you have such an intolerance towards Christianity, why do you bash this freedom? This man's religion has nothing to do with his ability to run his company. So, I would suggest to you ignorant people to maybe go read a book.
Right wing financial fascism draped in hypocryt christianity. WHy did waxman let him off, he's the CEO of this company and he can't comment on the pilots experience, he knows exactly their level of experience, bs answer for bs lying right wing scumfuck money bags money fucker. Fuck you prince, and your nazi's.
If your a christian, why not take on the moneychangers who killed christ, WALL STREET ASSHOLE. Line your pockets dipshit.
The only thing that public succeeded in doing was that Blackwater has now moved their operations to another country and the government money trial will continue. The government will not stop.
yh ...he looks like that guy from the film...i think it was called The Wind in the Willows i think...those weasels..that wanted to turn toad hall into a dog food factory...i watched this film when i was 8
Erik Prince was trained in Christian fundamentalist schools and funds Christian fundamentalist lobbying groups. He interned for Bush sr. and Dana Rohrbacher. His billionaire right wingnut father left him the money to form this private mercenary army accountable to no one but paid for with US tax dollars. Blackwater was there after Katrina hunting for "looters." Blackwater is the modern SS for 21st century fascism.
Yeah it's just horrible how low Pres. Bush will sink to fund our troops and provide them with tools they need to do their jobs - how dare he do such a thing!
If congress wants the troops out they can vote them out, they would rather play games for political points. It reflects in their low approval ratings.
Interesting to note that Henry Waxman is asking why BW is flying missions for the military instead of the military doing it when he and other reps voted against funding for the aircraft needed.
Create a problem, then play stupid and complain about the solution.
Wow, lots of REMFs complaining about things they don't understand. I would love to see what would happen if any one of these commentators was placed in a war zone [like Baghdad] and had to protect themselves or others.
Spoken like a true ignoramus. The real question is would we even have a war zone like that if it wasn't to corrupt republican companies like the 630 in Baghdad? Also the Green Zone looks familiar to anyone who knows the history of the British East India Company factories in India and China: a corporation that offshored labor and caused the founding of the USA by very similar no bid resource grabbing war contracts and corporate welfare such as the 1773 tax cuts.
So I'm an "ignoramus" and all 630 companies working in Iraq are corrupt because they're "republican" - Sure OK.
My comment was directed to those criticizing shoot/no shoot decisions when they know nothing about the circumstances and stress involved in such scenarios. Hence the term REMF
kinda like in the vietnam "free fire zone" arguments: all witnesses are dead and others have no authority to judge ;)
Again the real issue is not how good of a job they do but whether or not the founders ever intended to outsource intelligence and military capabilities to the extent the republicans have done it since 2001. The very existence of BW is a subversion of the Constitution in that war becomes a private enterprise like in colonial Britain.
BW was first hired in 97 by the Clinton administration with a no bid contract to train Navy personnel.
They are not fighting a war, but providing protective services for people & property in a war zone - a very large difference. They have a right to defend themselves in such a situation.
The real issue here is that people are making a big deal over a non-issue and acting like someone just rolled a joint with the constitution and did not offer anyone else a hit.
why do you waste your time to say such ignorant shit. you are probably some stupid redneck that got picked on in highschool. guns make you feel better about your own meaningless existence. how does such a complete fucking moron stumble across a video like this? go back to watching larry the cable guy.
wow how about for once, trying to formulate a reasonable response rather than swearing a blue streak to make up for your lack of material. Please keep in mind that although you like to hear yourself talk, its really a waste when you have nothing to say.
Lacey, you really shouldn't speak about Representative Waxman that way. He's the chairman of a very important committee in Washington presently charged with enforcing oversight to Republicans while ignoring the need to do the same thing for his own party.
Blackwater kicks asses and they are untouchable. I hope to join them one day in the future. I love killing people who don't deserve to live. Fuck them as long as I come home alive and get paid. That's life. The Iraqi are not as innocent as they make themselves out to be. It seems like it's OK for them to kill us but it's not OK for us to kill them. Haha that's bullshit.
Remember, Erik makes no mistakes, and is not responsible for anything folks. He pays into the right pockets and he's untouchable. He's got a pardon guaranteed Ollie North style if anything were to come down. Iran Contra anyone ?
Of course he is not. Here is how it works: if a commander on the ground concludes that something extra judicial ie torture/assassination or similar dirty work needs to be done contrary to international and US law they "tell unofficially" to "contractors", after all these guys used to be in the military. This way if something comes out there is no clear chain of command pointing to a military officer or a gov official responsible and the whole courtmarshall/geneva conventions thing goes away.
The whole sharade about "rogue" contractors is a facade so the military doesn't take the heat.
Forget iraq, what if these guys decide that US territory is fair game too?! We'll become Columbia?! which is btw the only friendly gov to the Bush regime in Latin America.
Erik seems to think, if you live your life, and don't murder anyone for 13,000 days, and then commit one murder on day 13,001 and - then live murder free for 10,000 more days ? that murder doesn't matter.
Amazing this guy is going to walk from all of this.
What's very scary about this outfit is that their organization and ties to the republican party is very similar to the rightwing paramilitary death squads in Columbia which are now known to be behind thousands of political assasinations on behalf of president Uribe and his party.
BW also hires x Columbians btw, along with Salvadoran, Chilean and Honduran vets. Remember that the latin american death squads were set up and funded by the same guys who sit in the WH today and were all x soldiers, special forces of those countries.
do you think we didn't see what you had to say the first three times or do more posts just make you feel important? you and laceylane might want to start a club...
He's got that Ollie North face - same face as Griffin - that face that says - you are in the way of the Christian Agenda here and this is a holy war, and we are untouchable, and above the law, why ? because we're fighting for Jesus Christ and our own disconnected private personalized afterlife plan to model our disconnected private LIFE plan.
Watching Mr. Prince's face during allegations of the helicopter pilots from BlackWater calling it 'fun' ? I swear he's thinking 'Look, you're so far out of your league, you don't even know' to Mr. Waxman.
I understand why Anne Coulter says 'oh no, things are going swimmingly' in Iraq, she means, they're killing 'muslems' by the thousands.
Does everyone know the 4 bodies in Fallujah were BlackWater ? Makes you wonder whether the natives were simply 'reacting' to BlackWaters trigger happy fingers eh ?
What concerns me is Prince's background into Christian Fundamentalism.
These people are approaching - immunity for any laws for any nationstates - the killings of people - WITHOUT DOUBT - as 'ragheads' or 'islamofacists' It is clear now the term 'Fly Paper' is being used by the Neocons.
Prince comes across to me as someone who knows behind the scenes, the very people that have escalated his contracts into the hundreds of millions - KNOWS - he's untouchable.

The worst part on Prince's conscience should be that it was BlackWater who killed Pat Tillman.
This guy is one disconnected mother. I suppose the money he holds be believes isn't really backed and given value by society as a collective whole.

Really ? I guarantee you BlackWater will be involved in the US soon enough.
