See how cheap the life of an Iraqi is worth. Blackwater guards can fire at will on Iraqi civilians and nothing gets done about it. Source: Iraq: Blackwater guards fired unprovoked
Yes because Blackwater are neither controlled by USA or Iraqi law, by the way congress could not be bothered to pass legislation that they be controlled under USA Law Figure it out yourself hired killers above the law Don't worry if they expel Blackwater they will just change the name to Whitewater, don't worry they are there for the long haul
Ron Paul would use Letters of Marque and Reprisal, which would give groups such as this authorization to operate and go after our enemies, and yet still be held accountable by our laws. His proposal would also have these groups back themselves with their own funding, rather than using our tax dollars.
In other words, RP would do nothing. You do realize that ablaye is an islamist, who seeks America's defeat for probably a different reason then you do, right?
I do believe I just explained that Ron Paul would use the same groups we are talking about, but they would be under authorization by Congress (and thus, under American law), and they would not be funded with our tax dollars. Sounds to me like they would be doing the same thing, but would be held accountable and not be using our money to do it. That's nothing? Sounds like that's the same thing but better.
Yes, I saw the explanation. I honestly believe that you believe that people and companies would be lining up for RP to outsource, without pay, our national security. How you are able to figure reality into that, I'm not sure. Just another reason why NOT to consider RP a viable candidate.
http://www.progress.org/fold232.htm Like anything else, it's all about the benjamins. What's the standing reward for capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden, 50 million? Also, what do these terrorists try and horde to fund their operations? That's right, more money. Like every other example of capitalism in our society, offer up a crapload of money, and people will do anything. Why would this be any different?
This doesn't surprise me. I've seen an interview with a correspondent in Iraq that the US Military does not approve of Blackwater being there, that they are cowboys and reckless, which leads to undermining the mission. The idea that GWB supports our troops has been debunked so many times, it's a joke. He supports corporate terrorism. And Blackwater is the smoking gun.
