Most of the responses to this guy seem to have completely misinterpreted the point of his argument. He's saying that the military should have a legitimate monopoly on the use of force, as political scientists and philosophers have always argued. Blackwater and private security contractors are a danger because they are not accountable to anyone. I know some of you rednecks support them now, because you think you're going to get a gun and go be rambo. But it might blow up in your face, literally
we all know your not an american so shut the fuck up and if you dont know anything about a subject, its best to keep your mouth shut and stop sucking dick all day
This FUCKING FAGGOT just want publicity and to miss lead the everyone around him because he even does.nt understand what the hell is going on with blackwater in iraq. "O" he says he's been in iraq, but not in the red zone his scary ass was in the green zone crawled up like a little BITCH and being very unpatriotic
what a FAGGOT I just got back from Iraq and served my 6th year in the marines and iv seen these guy's in action and they are NO JOKE, the kinda people you need right next to you on the battle field because they show no emotions and they know how to get the job done and stay alive> but im excited for the facility there building in Illinois close to home and im leaving to North Carolina for my first blackwater training Hoorah!!!

i hope you're issued a faulty hand grenade. this guy has good intentions but just like all of us he's lied to. you on the other hand are more brain washed than the rest of the general population. NWO people. it's real.
What about the people they've killed, then tried to buy off the family's! What about Princes morally wrong views! "Bullets Ricochet" I'm going to go shoot your family members and offer you $5,000 for each, There will always be casualties, but this group can't indiscriminately mow down civilians and not be held accountable. Your definition of PATRIOT is wrong, blind obedience and loyalty begets nothing but tyranny.
in ever walk of life u have people with skills and drills that surfise others. black water do a job (well) and u.s gov are willing to pay for it to get the job done weather or not they have messt up on on ops is the payers consern....witch is...the us gov so why the conterversy on soldiers who get money for jobs of a agressive natuer (fight fire with fire) get it done get out ....
Obama just got the results from Clinton to bring forth information, and guess what, BLACKWATER donates to Bill Clinton's non-profit business. Hillary talks out of both sides of you mouth.
Please send a message vote Green Party '08 Cynthia Mckinney. I know a lot of you want Ron Paul but his idea that deregulating the policies concerning union busting and suppressing workers rights are off the wall insane. Noam Chomsky has spoken about Ron Paul, youtube Chomsky Ron Paul, watch some videos, and realize that Mckinney, not Paul is the better 3rd party candidate.

Obama got his national political career started with the help of Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers who bombed the Capital Building and Pentagon. He accepted donations and worked with this man. Bill Ayers is unrepentant for his deeds even though his best friend and girlfriend died making pipe bombs meant for Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Real Americans fight terrorists while Obama accepts political donations from them.
I agree that highly paid mercenaries and the Armed Forces clash with each other. You ask what this war is really about? I ask you what the countless protests are against this war. Are they not that the Armed Forces are not properly equiped which results in the deaths of brave heros? Most protests involve removing US troops from Iraq, people say nothing about Blackwater and its mercenaries. Theres a major difference between the Armed Forces and mercenaries that no one can disagree about...
The two differences are as follows: The Armed Forces are the peoples army, meaning that it is comprised and made of up sons, daughters, fathers, mothers. People that influence the way of America in every many different aspects. I think Blackwater is set apart because one, the death and injured count of all mercenaries arent even publicly released. Mercenaries dont have the same social worth as the Armed Forces, even I will admit that. Mercenaries do what they do because its great money.
because its great money and secondly because just as the Armed Forces say, its a calling. Its what they do because they have no desire in them that wants to do differently ( speaking for myself of course ) A option that I'm sure is a far way away if even at that would be to remove all Armed Forces and replace them with this "army of crusaders" Wether you admire them or not they do get the job done. Of course though that will never happen because our society is to busy worry about each other.
Dude, I think the big problem is that contractors are total retards. We all know that you guys are greedy and disloyal, but the fact is that most US troops don't like contractors because you guys fuck up all sorts of work getting done by driving around shooting innocent people. I'm pretty sure that's the biggest issue. You guys don't really put in any work in Iraq as far as the war. You guys make chow runs and guard state department people. It doesn't look like you guys are fighting at all.
The reason people say nothing about blackwater is the gov't does a good job keeping it under wraps. Most people get there news from the MSM and they sure as hell never mention it. Why would they? They probably own shares in it.
As for what this war is about, how do you explain no bid contracts?
Thank you Jeremy Scahill. Blackwater is a private army operating inside the US borders, this is counter to the US Constitution and is illegal. Blackwater represents a subversion of the United States.
Mike Gravel, Democratic candidate for President, understands what is happening and is telling the American people the truth. Please support his efforts. National Initiative for Democracy. ni4d us
Uh no. Dont over simplify the issue. I would say gravel is no more experienced then obama at being a president. At least obama is trying. Clinton and McCain are two different sell outs.
We need to send this to a lot of people who are still drinking this idealistic Obama Koolaid. He will not end the war. He will not bring real change. Look at Bill Clinton's first run for president. He ran on change and delivered very little. I wish people would be less naive.
Give me a break, like you aren't naive. People like yourself love to trash "the masses" as being ignorant and less enlightened than your all knowing superior selves. But you people NEVER read anything differing from your own half thought out, radical, simplistic "america is evil" politics. You have narrow preconceived notions and you search for anything that supports them, and ignore everything else that proves them wrong. You are the ignorant one.
So where is your rebuttal? If you're calling someone ignorant it must be because you think their position is outrageously wrong. Well? Refute what he said. Is all you can do call someone names? It seems like the real ignorant one is you, perhaps?
McCain, Obama, Clinton are all backed by different members of the Bilderberg group. They are puppets. Please research who, and what the Bilderberg group is. You will then know why this insanity continues.
look folks we are foolish to not see the power paradigm being handed down to us. it doesnt matter who runs for president or which party wins. george washington warned about the system we now have. thomas jefferson warned us about this. andrew jackson fought the fed reserve and we as american continue to dwiddle oue thumbs up our butts. This is all a continuation of the roman empire. research your history. we are overextended in all ways. AIG , lehman brothers, fannie may freddie mac
Obama is going to keep the occupation going. Hes going to support the contracters, and increase their funding. The Iraqi people want the troops out. They would also like to see some of the money from their own oil revenue.
So thats it- we leave and give them controll of their oil. End of story.
No matter who is anointed as president WE the People will continue to pay the ASS MUCHER TAX for the NO reason but GOD Gold Oil Drugs for the munchers wealth and NWO sacrificing our military men and women for the CORPORATIONS.
Mike Gravel, the 3rd Democratic candidate, who is being blacklisted by media for not having enough money, among other things, has been running for President to bring the National Initiative (NI) to the American people. NI allows people to become lawmakers like Congress. This would allow us to also REPEAL laws as well. Have you read about the NI? ni4d us Mike Gravel is also advocating impeachment

Very insightful, good to hear from him.
It should be noted, however, that Obama has repeatedly said he would retain a force in the region capable of striking Al Qaeda targets, be they in Iraq or anywhere else. This is the force that Scahill is talking about.
Obama has said he plans to end the war in Iraq. This is true. Those troops aren't meant to keep the everyday peace. They're meant for continuing the war on terror. That their presence in Iraq may promote stability is a bonus.
this kind of stuff makes me wonder how i was ever a democrat.. over a million civilian deaths have been attributed to this illegal occupation... when the empire withdraws from these peoples land, THAT will be a blow to the only real terror that presides.. unfortunatly the vast and ever expanding violence of power has to be regarded as invisible and we must in turn refer to those who resist as 'terrorists'. war on terror indeed. hahaha. right.

It takes more than a few months to undo the utter destructiveness of the wild warmonger bush.
At least Obama wanted to turn things around, reverse course, and move towards ending the Iraq war.
It is likely to be very messy to stop such a humongous Iraq war enterprise on a dime

i disagree, despite the fact that i have tried to lie to myself regarding obama's inclinations.
the facts suggest otherwise, both candidates plans will require tens of thousands of troops to remain, despite the use of the 'word' withdrawl.
they both intend to keep the massive embassy, the 'green' zone, and the corridor to the airport occupied.
we dont need 'leaders' to decide... hopefully empires hand will be forced by brave iraqis fighting back and BRAVE soldiers refusing to fight.
