Federal prosecutors are investigating whether employees of the private security firm Blackwater USA illegally smuggled into Iraq weapons that may have been sold on the black market and ended up in the hands of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, officials said Friday.
I have no doubt that these guys are more then likely guilty, and I will tell you why.
They are MERCENARIES! They are guns for hire. These guys are not serving their country, they are glorified bodyguards.
So if the opportunity presents itself for them to make even more money, why wouldn't they take it? Because of patriotism? Give me a break!
This is why you don't send paid killers into a war zone!
Blackwater is helping the insurgents? Does this mean we'll be nuking North Carolina?
ReplyDeleteFunny that Blackwater is under investigation after the earlier shooting. Before this week I have never heard of them. Are they being thrown under the bus?
ReplyDeleteThat is a valid observation akcook, but I don't know how would be doing the throwing.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is not the Bush administration since they clearly need them. Is it possible the Iraqi government has found a way to bypass the Pentagon to get the Feds interested in what is happening in Iraq with Blackwater? Maybe.
Or have the Democrats found a way to sabotage Bush's plan to keep us in Iraq for the next twenty years? Anything is possible these days.
