Blackwater Hearing: Tierney's Questions

The Oversight Committee holds a hearing on Blackwater. The hearing examines the mission and performance of private military contractor Blackwater USA in Iraq and Afghanistan. Erik Prince, the owner of Blackwater, will testify as well as three State Department officials. The hearing specifically addresses three key questions: (1) Is Blackwater's presence advancing or undermining U.S. efforts? (2) Has State Department responded appropriately to the shooting incidents involving Blackwater forces? (3) What are the costs to U.S. taxpayers for the reliance on Blackwater and other private military contractors? Rep. John Tierney questions Prince.

LOL controlling what is said. I'm just gonna be a grunt. Your hilarious. There is a difference between mistake and saying or doing the complete wrong thing. Is it just a mistake when a rapist gets his sick kicks off with someone and hes got the willies doing it too. Is that just a mistake, is it just "a disease" as some have tried to call it. No and it is not right to say someone deserves what happened to those guys, that is fucked up and you know it.

Hey, we all make mistakes.

You apparently sought ignorance over education.

Enjoy the exposure to depleted uranium while you're over there.

Oh, I see, you want to go around telling people to shut their mouths, while you are ring master controlling what is allowed to be said or not.

Hey, thanks for fighting for freedom of speech next time you pull the trigger over there and kill someone.

Good for you to support free speech, we need more like you.

You sick motherfucker. How can you disrespect four people like that? If it wren't for the fact that not everyone is a dumbfuck like you, I wouldn't be joining the military and trying to get into Recon. So shut your fucking mouth.

I can only hope that some of Blackwater's

members do good things and are good people being several are Ex- Green Berets, Airborne Rangers , Delta Force & Swat.

But this CEO jerk is an arrogant,

self-centered, cocky, bastard.

And someone please smack that disrespectful

crooked grin off his "holier than thou" face.

[joecitizan]

Nope. Blackwater is the American Imperiums new mercenary force. I hope the Iraqi freedom fighters wipes out the whole fucking lot of 'em.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Why do people praise a War Criminal? She still funds a criminal enterprise like Iraq yet says discussions of Impeaching the original crime lords is off the table. She can stop funding the war just as EASILY.

Wear her down with your VOICE. Tell her you know the TRUTH and aren't buying her bullshit anymore. Call her the War Criminal she is!

More Jaw Jacking from a puppet fool. Blackwater is just a security company and not the "boogymen" that all the pizz and moaners keep trying to make them out to be. They are protectors and not mercenaries. Look a word up before you start throwing it around in your banter. They majority of the work they do is for the US State Department NOT DOD. They contract out for security work to the State department who has been doing this LONG before Blackwater... what an ignorant fool.
