I am getting so p****d off with the American Congress ,for supporting the Penatagons use of,and financial support(WTH OUR TAX MONEY!) of,mercenary forces such as Blackwater,Tripal Canopy,Dynecorp etc etc,in Iraq,Afghanistan et al.
I hope that Robert Spohrer sues the pants off all of them.After listening to Janessa Gans talk of what she observed,whilst being 'in the care' of Blackwater,I was disgusted to hear that these offensive,money-grabbing thugs,HIRED BY OUR PENTAGON,almost killed a carload of innocent men,women and children who just happened to be driving,NORMALLY, in front of them!
Then,the aircrash in the Hindu Kush mountains,where six people(including official,experienced military personnel)were killed,due to the irresponsible,wreckless cowboy behaviour,and relatively INEXPERIENCED skills of a mercenary pilot! Disgraceful!
How dare Erik Prince or ANY of his cohorts EXPECT the immunity given to OFFICIAL SOVEREIGN forces,when they are PRIVATE sector,mercenary thugs who work on the OFFENSE,not defense,and do not adhere to any of the Rules of Engagement that our sovereign(National)defense forces are sworn to follow.
These renegades HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR Nations forces and damage the credibility of the American people as a whole.They're just useful legal loopholes,through which the Government can attempt to escape accountability.
The Congress,the White House and Pentagon are shaming the American people ENOUGH with this occupation of Iraq and Afganistan,under EXTREMELY suspicious,questionable circumstances! NOW THEY RENEW THE CONTRACT with Presidential Airways(Blackwater)to continue their lawlessness,unaccountability,thugery,ON OUR TAX-MONEY AND AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICA'S INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION?
Hell-fire! The money for that new Pentagon contract(to the private offense force) should have been payed,in compensation,to the families of those innocently,and recklessly killed by these mercenaries.
THEN,the same perpetrators should be arraigned to American and Iraqi justice(injustice)systems/courts and CHARGED,ACCORDINGLY FOR THEIR CRIMES.
They are a disgrace to Democratic America(but then so is Congress) and insult(not reinforce)our official National forces,who are underpaid,undermanned,and overstretched,as it is!
The Pentagon,is for sovereign National defense,NOT PRIVATE CORPORATE OFFENSE!
These private,mercenary forces should be THROWN OUT or withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan IMMEDIATELY.They smell dirty and 'PLAY' dirty and that same STINK of corporate,selfish corruption permeates all the way up to THE WHITE HOUSE!
If America CANNOT continue this corporate occupation and invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan WITHOUT dangerous cowboys like Blackwater etc, that's just another reason why we should be out of both places ASAP!
The presence of mercenary forces perpetuates the OFFENSE(which is what Bush and Congress REALLY want,after all)and as long as they continue to back these thugs(with our money)!,they have no right to say they "seek peace" OR speak for the American people.
The fact that Andrew Moonen(who killed,while drunk,an Iraqi security guard),WAS PLACED BACK IN THE MERCENARY ACTIVE(paid)ROLE,with weapons,back in the Middle East,AFTER this incident, IS OUTRAGEOUS! He should be in prison,at least!
To Robert Spohrer(Attorney),NO IMMUNITY FOR PRIVATE-HIRE KILLERS,who make up their own rules!!
To Congress,you support these mercenaries,you LOSE MY FAMILIES VOTES!
We can shop somewhere else,thankyou!
