Jeremy Scahill - Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

[hendrikmanbeer]

oh wat zielig

[Beargrass83]

Ask the US soldiers how they feel about blackwater getting paid more with beter equip etc.

[WALTKRIEG]

maybe,but men who are enlisted in Blackwater are not the average soldier. They are elite fighters.

[WALTKRIEG]

but the only reason that the tax payers can complain is because these men are formed and trained by national armies around the world.

[roaddog1m]

@Beargrass83 Blackwater/XE contractors have already done their time in the Military. Have you done yours?

[Beargrass83]

No,

we live in AMERICA where the govt. rightfully does'nt force their citizens to participate in the military.

Several of my clsoe friends from high scholl joined the army shortly after 9-11 and all saw combat in Iraq/Afghanistan and all of them are out now and have managed to lead very productive lives without joining blackwater.

[Beargrass83]

Let me guess all you blackwater cokcsuckers supported the iraq war all the way with bush/cheney war criminals.

what a bunch of hypocritical faggots

we gonna bomb them then we need merc to stay safe

fucking idiots

[roaddog1m]

@Beargrass83 Wow Beargrass, did your boyfriend forget to piss in your wheaties??? I think you need to go back to your Mom and nurse, you sound a little bit like you have a low blood sugar situation! LoL As for real warriors, stay the fuck out of our business.

[Beargrass83]

@roaddog1m

WTF r u talking about you belligerent meathead?

real warriors? you mean mercenaries who kill for profit, yeah you a real warrior LMAO @ this clown.

[Beargrass83]

@roaddog1m

LMAO this guy is 45 years old, that syas a lot.

[whocares12308]

BlackWater is a group that doesn' t have hands tied down like US soldiers.  This group is a blessing, nothing less!

[RandomPoolGuy84]

Each group should be independant from the other in order to preserve their way. It won't be possible to do that under one government. It's true that I draw my conclusions from the Bible and my belief that Christ is the Savior, but I don't want any one group with power over the other. It is going to happen. Perhaps in the next ten years, we'll see if the world has gotten any closer to one government, one religion, and one currency. I pray that you and your family be blessed.

[dissentus]

Thank you Jeremy Scahill for being brave enough to expose the truth behind the military's civilian killing machine. This military, the corporations that thrive on sales to it, and the government that continues to suck the working class dry in order to support all of it, is out of control.

We must put the international proletariat in control and establish international democracy. Only then will the injustice of such barbarism committed by Blackwater be prevented.

[RandomPoolGuy84]

So you believe that the solution is to bring the world under one government? One group of people controlling the laws, economy, and enforcement of laws for the entire world? It will happen, but not under a democracy. Only complete control by a governing body will bring the peace your after. Communisim perhaps, but more likely a deity of sorts. Yes I believe the New Testament Book of Revelation had something to say about this.

[dissentus]

Well, I see you use the same method for interpreting my comment that you use for interpreting your Bible...a method that is neither logical nor scientific. Of course this world is much better off having a few radical Christian groups, like Blackwater, rule the world their way...that is the few you should be worried about.

[dissentus]

What my comment is suggesting is an international co-op where the masses democratically decide the fate of the world instead of a few radical religious fanatics, including Christians. Now if you want to put your Bible goggles on and use God and the Bible to support your opinion, that is fine...it is in fact the same practice used by radical Muslims who blow themselves up in order to kill hundreds, even thousands, of innocent people.

[dissentus]

You, and those like you, are the radical fringe (like Bin Laden), who want to bring the world under domination of a few people's religious convictions. Maybe the real Beast is you, and you're just in denial.

[RandomPoolGuy84]

You're mistaken dissentus. I don't believe in suppressing people under any means. The KKK and IRA are examples of religious terrorists. Their actions of violence can not be tolerated. I believe that countries and people should be free and independant to live their lives how they deem necessary.  Borders, langauge, and culture should be preserved in each country. You can hear Micheal Savage preach on this all the time. I don't want the world to come under one dominating group.

[roaddog1m]

@RandomPoolGuy84 The IRA is not a religious group, better get crackin' on the books b4 you start posting stupid shit like this.

[MinMan913]

This is just the beginning, forget 2012, terroist and all that other bull. Your enemy has just arrived to the party. With wars being fought domestically by "ZE" aka Blackwater and "Total Intelligence Solutions, LLC" You know dominance is in their agenda.

[Fidelm]

if it wears a turban it can be shot and killed

[ikenene]

america is satan the beast

[creeperCBS]

the blackwater operatives should have shot all the dirty little sand niggers

[libertadmental3210]

It is what happens when stupid politicians dont respect the free determination rights of other nations, and when the only real motivation is MONEY.

[snyllermand]

Mercenaries, they are going to roast in their own fat.

They are not protected by the laws of war, they can be brought to a court, as murderers.

[snyllermand]

G.W.B. he is an asshole, he believes that use torture, it is outside the country, so it must be in order, use of mercenaries, it is probably ok, think I read that the little shit was the military denies. perhaps because of the Old .... I am not American, there was a time when the pig comes out of a helicopter, saluted, a Drafter who salute. (Ask for it.)

[MinMan913]

Not when the victim doesn't know or cant prove who the attacker is. They are also immune to international law (Cannot be held accountable to war crimes) That is why they are refereed as the Shadow Army "No one sees No one knows"... Only an Opinion. Do not reply, will not answer.

[Gazzer1966]

If killing 4,000 inocnent civ's is legitamate, you just justified 9/11

[Vindicator58]

All of the people the US is fighting are civilians! So far, Iraqi civilians have killed 4000 US military troops! I think the majority of people in the US have become idiots. Let Blackwater get with it, what the hell is wrong with you fuckers? Americans have become pussies and they are going to pay for it in the near future.

[GodDontDoThis]

Those places make you crazy. Constantly killing and shooting and being shot at will put you in a consistent state of psychosis. Good or Evil isn't a factor here, these men are scared for their lives. This is what fear does to people. When you here sooo much about suicide bombers, you start to convince yourself that everyone is a threat.

[CaptainAmerica35]

Well i just have to say you be 18 years old and be shipped to Iraq and every where you look has potential to kill you. They were trying to protect them selves.

[anxietydeath]

This is how you kill a democracy.
