Wow. This is so bad, that I almost forget how Blackwater stole weapons intended for the Afghani army, stole money through fraud, and murdered many innocent civilians.

It boggles the mind why this company isn't shut down and these people thrown in jail. All's fair in business and war, I guess.

Because the President can't fight his wars without them unless we bring back the draft. My money is on even more of them in Iraq as the draw-down of troops continues.

Had you forgotten about how they saved Rep. Grayson's life as well, evacuating him from Niger when a coup broke out and guns were being fired in the streets and the building next to Grayson?

Yeah, handing him an airline ticket was sooo heroic. Almost as heroic as shooting up a bunch of Iraqi women and children or raping co-workers. But getting a job at Xe will get you sleeping in a cot, which is a step up from that couch, Rob.

Is this some sort of a joke? I'm supposed to be okay with all of the horrible things that they've done because they helped out some guy once? I am nothing like you.

-Blackwater Trained Afghanis Defect To Taleban

At least that is the "spin" applied.

Oh Blackwater
Keep on screwing
Up the war
To keep your pay coming

Oh Blackwater
Training bad guys
To ensure they have someone
To fight tomorrow
