Blackwater blacklisted
Blackwater blacklisted
Wow, this could be the beginning of open mike night in Iraq, interesting.
Awww shit. WTF? Why bother invading a country if you can't overpay mercenaries to freak out and shoot a bunch of innocent bystanders? Sheeeeeit. They weren't even white or Christian so under American law they don't even count as human beings. Ungrateful Iraqis! We brought them the wonders of American style democracy, so clearly the smartest, most honorable people in the country are running things (just like here in the US Americans!) and they start getting all picky when our mercenaries shoot up their population.
I know! We need to give members of the Iraqi government stock options in Blackwater, and they'll gladly turn their backs when Blackwater fucks up and people die! Hey, it kept most of the Enron crooks out of jail here!

Bacon is meat candy.
They're good... uh... Capitalists! Yeah! That's it! Capitalists! Over there defending... uh... their right to be overpaid... for what soldiers do for next to nothing! It's the Bush/Cheney way!

I'm curious. How does a democrat like me get a job for blackwater? I would like to work for them as I enjoy the mercenary life, and it is so cool that they are totally exempt from all laws (Iraqi and US Military). I want to work in the sniper/counter insurgency division though and not the torture division. On the plus side for me, I do like Dick Cheney as he is the only politician who absolutely does not care what people think.
Has anyone read that book about Blackwater? There's some weird right wing Christian stuff wrapped up in that company. It boggles the mind. How the fuck can a Christian set up a company that kills people for money?
It says "Thou Shalt Not Kill" not "Thou Shalt Kill only for pay or as a member of an S-Corporation (except for in the civilized world and other exempt entities) but don't kill otherwise."

yeah, I read the blackwater book. That book should've been a lot shorter.
Anyway, yeah, Prince is a bible monkey, and he started blackwater. No surprise from me, as christians have traditionally had no problem killing people at times of war, or even covert military operations, or on crusades, or just because they thought the person was a sinner, or a non-believer, or a muslim.

Good interview w/ Prince on Charlie Rose last night. As usual, things are bit more complex than they seem. He seems to have a little bit more of an agenda and some complex opinions aside from his personally financed, money grubbing, holy wars.
Shocking, I know.
