[RELATEDXXX]

I LOVE AMY GOODMAN :

[Stromberg91]

wtf is the problem with that womans mouth, its really annoying to look at

[ichrammsteinfan]

And i'd rather have a blackwater to be security the the u.s military, cause one thing really stands out... blackwater actually protects the people they are supposed to!

[Nativeboy0]

Blackwater...IS....BOSS. LOL!

[1forjohnny]

Where ever Blackwater go , the US Govt. is doing something illegal,

[ichrammsteinfan]

@1forjohnny other way around bud, where ever the U.S is doing something illegal, blackwater is there lmao

[prometheusjohnson]

[Totothemonkey]

@Elitepoosniff Grow up she has an obvious problem but leave it there.....

[MrDumle131]

wtf is going on with her mouth look like this :/ when she talk

[BBradshawProductions]

@MrDumle131 She suffered from a stroke that made her lost muscle control in that part of her face

[casperado666]

@MrDumle131 she also doesn't blink with her right eye, cause she's half paralized or something

[auocode]

@casperado666

when you have a stroke it can cause paralisis of a side of the body and looks like it in her case but props to her not letting it hold her back.

[kraigy25]

i'm all for Blackwater, they are what we, as the united states military were back in the day. a bad ass military taht no one wanted to fuck with. for those were not in the middle east, you have NO idea what its like, you can't easily distinguish civilian from foe, your basic instinct to defend yourself kicks in and these political pussies/humanitarians have no clue either. i support our troops and Blackwater.

[BBradshawProductions]

@kraigy25 so it is ok to shot innocents including kids and babies?

Fuck you. If you are in the army then I hope you get shot up by friendly fire by your trigger happy asshole friends

[casperado666]

@kraigy25 so you think badass means anything good? it just makes all the wrong people pissed off and than they bomb your buildings again. wrong approach, dude.

[hafeez587]

every thing is illegeal whether its blackwater or american army..coz its brutal invasion by USA..which is illegal..

[MasterLeeMochow]

What if?

[alexiseptimus]

What the hell is wrong with her mouth?

[smilegonewild]

@alexiseptimus probably had polio...

[stevemallen1]

stroke on the right side. She doesn't have the muscle control on that side of her face. It happens a lot in people who smoke, eat unhealthy diets and many other reasons.

[The4LA2Baker0]

alexiseptimus,

Looks like either a stoke, or bell's palsy.

Bell's palsy is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. Several conditions can cause a facial paralysis, e.g., brain tumor, stroke, and Lyme disease. However, if no specific cause can be identified, the condition is known as Bell's palsy.

[viperthesniper73]

What people need to understand is that its all these inhuman organizations like Blackwater, the CIA black ops, merc groups ect. are what keep this world turning. we cannot survive without them because they can go places and do things the government and millitary cannot.

[chunkydthe1st]

what u people dont understand is that iraq wanted them there in the first place. Yes i said it and ill say it again. People dont understand that iraq,afgan,japan,us and so on need blackwater and people like it. Just wait till things start to go crazy here in the us, you'll see.

[b0b0maj0]

The kind of England essentially said the same thing about the colonial rebellion.

[adzug]

this represents the destruction of america, america is defined by its laws protecting or prosecuting all americans under 1 nation. blkwtr isnt bound by these rules and they are liable to their clients. if youre not connected to the blk wtr client base you are on the outside. this will be the division of america tween the rich connected and the rest of america, these ppl dont need "america"

[wire4001]

Its interesting that the American public does not realize that we have used Private Military personnel since the revolution that created the United States. they didn't bitch then don't bitch now.

[nela04]

only thing is that blackwater is extream christian based, and they sure like to kill muslims, and they do operate in a muslim country ;)

[WizardW0W]

America needs blackwater.

Say what you want.

Blackwater may do what they want, but if they werent sent there to kill Iraqy soliders our Marines, Army etc. would be pretty much fucked. Even if they killed innocents or not, they all hey americans some where in there heart.

[WizardW0W]

Hate* not hey.

[sideshowchad]

I hear what you are saying, but the ends can never justify the means. We need to be better than that.

[Nickalispicalis]

Talk about talking out of the side of your mouth !

[spinners123]

give people guns once you pull that trigger the sense of ecitment and rush and feelof power distorts your judgement in a group it is intensifies its almost like a mob mentality not to mention the fear and frustration that culminates at a percieved threat it is a reelase on many levels

[DeathCmsRipn426]

and fuck Susan Burke too!!!

[DeathCmsRipn426]

FUCK YOU Lustmord19 your a fuckin piece of shit ya God damn commie

Lon live Blackwater!!!

[moisestorres69]

FUCK BLACKWATER!!!!

[DANKBANKTANK]

oh and to fatkidsgettinghurt, yeah. there's intentional loop holes placed on international conflict laws that protect private military personnel. things like Rules Of Engagement, and such. but at the same time, there is n punishment available for those who kill the personnel. so it's a bit of a catch 22.

[DANKBANKTANK]

haha we should tell the families... "um... well i guess you should blame your former president... he did kinda fuck up, right? yyeeaahh, i think you're just gonna have to band together and just start killing other iraqis! ok have a good day!"

[krisstruss]

Most Americans who call themselves patriots are nationalists,a patriot is someone who loves their country,a nationalist is someone who hates everyone elses.

[ben5017]

So true Krisstruss, The founders faught the revolutionary war to free our country from the imperialism of the british empire ... Now our govt has denied the Citizens of their rights intended by our founders as well as the creation of terrorist acts against other nations from our secret govt which has made being an American dangerous overseas. YES, our govt has not obeyed they founders with preemptive attacks, secret govt terrorist acts, corporate power taking over, etc ...

[jesicanatailaromero]

what a fucking ugly reporter ,who the hell put her on tv,put a bag over her head....

[jclayton59466]

Hey are people still talking about this? I thought Bush passed a law that got them off scott free.

[eckyboyo6]

Nice to see some Americans are concerned about what their troops and mercanaries are up to

[WolfSnake77]

Even Machiavelli understood you could not rely on mercianies.

[WolfSnake77]

So let me I if understand some of you. Staying at home and being anti-war = unpatriotic coward. Staying at home safe and sound and being pro-war = patriotic good American ?

[BomanTheBear]

The lawyer's explanation of the chain of events leading up to a shooting. Someone "collapsed on the wheel with their foot on the pedal" is a situation which happens daily, usually because there are 200 lbs of C4 in there. Iraq is not a beer garden that Blackwater defiled. It's a nation of 75% good people, and 25% who are hiding behind the other %75, hoping Americans shoot at both of them.

[fatkidsgettinghurt]

The whole idea of Blackwater is fucked up. Government supported mercenaries that everyone knows about that are unpunishable by law? What the fuck?

[gosciu555]

well the idea isn't new but that combined with the complete lawlessness and unaccountability of the current regime, as well as fascist aspirations make it very dangerous.

also no one should get no bid contracts, they're handouts.

[Elitepoosniff]

@fatkidsgettinghurt The US only want them to be around because they have Billions of dollars, there America`s second army if you think about it.

[Jacksonholenativ]

I hate these mindless labels (liberal vs. conservative) which are about as divisive to our country as what led to the American Civil War. Look what happened during that hellish time. To me calling someone a liberal or a conservative can be similar to calling someone a "Yankee" or a "Rebel". It only serves to divide. We are Americans and we must protect our Constitution.

[BareknuckleRealist]

Olegee, point well taken. Thank you man.

[olegeez55]

The point is that your every-day-joe-six-pack Iraqi has babies too. He is happy and greatful that the Husseins aren't threatening his baby, but now the hired guns of the occupiers are. Oh and the reduced enlistmant thing, that's a 'me generation' thing and a government plan since Pres. Ford. Kids not feeling a responsibility to join and a Federal Government wanting to cash in on a Peace dividend after the final collapse of the Soveit Union

[olegeez55]

Private armies, imune from any legal system, funded by the tax payers for the use of the corporate elite. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their desecrated monuments. Welcome to the Corporate States of America.

[Jacksonholenativ]

You are right on! These men were the authentic and real patriots and those who sustain, protect the Constitution and its laws and principles are authentic patriots.

[dollahy]

beautiful ignorance people wow!!

[woolfl]

Don't think it's a hair lip, but a case of Bell's Palsy where 1/2 the face becomes paralyzed for a short time.

[susanfromlv]

OK- Does JS know what prompted the Blackwater personel to begin shooting? It does not seem logical that they just began shooting because they 'felt' like it. They had to have some reasonable feeling of a life threatening situation.. And do the "bad" guys in Iraq wear black? You know- so the Blackwater personel would know who was the culprit?

[arqplay]

Hi susanfromlv,

The point is that if these soldiers acted irresponsibly, they cannot be prosecuted according to the US Army Military Code of Justice. And because they are working abroad, they cannot be judged according to US laws. They are also probably the best trained and armed military personnel in the world, so no Iraky police will face them. So what should we do, just trust them?!?!?

[Ataraxion]

Blackwater shot first in 85% of the cases. A little often considering that they claim of being ambushed.

[woolfl]

Looks like she has Bells Palsy, a temporary paralysis of the nerve on 1/2 the face. Very common.

[PolliFaxToaster]

when did this happen!?

[Axetele]

Troot. A friend of mine got it after childbirth ( !? ).

[vidmakr]

Yea,,,, it's about time.

Has anyone thought to send Amy to the Dr.? Her face distortion is getting progressively worse. Has she suffered a heart attack or stroke recently?

[logosfabula]

keep up

[NegPhil]

I love Amy.

[antiNAU]

What happened to Amy?

[GAAnalyst]

Prosecution under UCMJ as contractors were done in prior wars is not prohibited. Now the author is going against the State Department instead of DOD as his book mentions. The federal contracts were not DOD but State Department based. The legislation is problematic again, prosecute under UCMJ not federal crimes aka FBI based.
