- leunghoi, on 10/14/2007, -5/+112Call me crazy. Some day, we will help Blackwater grow to a point that Blackwater will be bigger than our armed forces. When that happen, we won't have to worry about election any more.
- Lixie, on 10/14/2007, -3/+75Kill a bunch of innocent Iraqi, get almost $100m from the gov. Wow, I just love the message this administration is sending to the world!
- Frnnkdlxx, on 10/14/2007, -3/+65I love the Pentagon. They're consistent. They're evil, and they know it. And they won't rest until you know it too.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! - retral, on 10/14/2007, -4/+58Michigan's government is shut down for a budget crisis, and 92 mil has just been dropped for a fight we're never going to win.. the *****?
- EndersGame, on 10/10/2007, -3/+56Thats pretty much what happened in Germany under Hitler's control. He had power over Germany's army while he also funded his own private army. As his army grew, the regular army and citizen's of Germany started to not like what was going on, but at that point they couldn't do much about it. The rest is history.
- chase001, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47That was the objective all along. Cheney advocated privatizing our military way back when he was in Congress.
- dstz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27"No diplomats have been killed since we entered Iraq"
Wow, I'm relieved. - SD70MACMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Maybe that source is bias, but this one http://www.defenselink.mil/contracts/contract.aspx ... sure as hell isn't.
- Flestrin, on 10/14/2007, -1/+19Blackwater:
Remember those huge caches of weapons and wmds that no one could find?
Remember all that Iraqi oil that was siphoned off and that no one can account for?
Remember the billions in cash that just disappeared when it reached Iraq?
Remember all those weapons that seemed to disappear when sent to Iraq?
NONE of that is coincidental.
Meet Blackwater. The private army of the Bush Family.
Oh, and if you think the recent idea of hiring private contractors to help with the drug war is for OUR benefit, think again. Letting Blackwater, et al access to intelligence databases and technology is just another step. - xerigen, on 10/14/2007, -1/+17This would be funny if it was ***** april fool's day. Seriously, what the *****? Kill civilizians and get rewarded 92 million?
- Deaconstructed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15It's from Simpsons... 'Beatings will continue until morale improves'.
- GameBalla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14yup.. its sad that most Americans did not want this to happen, but yet it happend anyway.. WTF!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
- TeCuervo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14When will people learn that the word "liberal" is not an insult?
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Once again, Metal Gear Solid predicted it. Shove THAT up your ass, Roger Ebert.
- thedarkrabbit, on 10/14/2007, -1/+12What happens when someone else pays them $93 million to attack the US?
- slyzxx, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16Hmm so innocent people are more important than diplomats huh let me ask you. DO YOU KNOW WHAT BLACKWATER EVEN DOES ass ?
- dattaway, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13The killings will continue until morale improves.
- bluechips23, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12No. Digg has never failed. Digg never fails. Only douchebags like you and your associates fail.
- pixelate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9If only there was a button you could press to express your agreement, without having to type all that out.
- chiggah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9The fact that you're being buried means Digg works. Bitch all you want. Anyone that actually cares about their opinions in regards to a discussion will bother to reply. Not writes some angry rant , thinks you made a different and move on. Here is an advise. You can think you're right all you want. Why don't you spend some efforts proving your points instead of pissing off people intentionally. Not only does it make you seem retarded, it encourage others to stay away from your view seeing what a crazy image you present youself with. Fail +2
- omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13good satire, A+
- GameBalla, on 10/10/2007, -2/+104thandSchlong you sound like how a American soldier sounded like before blackwater took his job.. Now all he does is train and guard blackwater guys all in while black water guys are making 10x more then military soldiers.. I'm sick of this.. Think for a second, we have men and women, in the American military that want to serve and protect their country, and still obey the law. But now we have ROUGE soldiers who do not obey the law, and are taking over the military jobs.. WTF?? You sound exactly like hardcore military man would have sounded like 2-3 years ago, before blackwater took over..
- chiggah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9"George Bush has nothign to do with this"
I seriously LOL. You obviously havn't been paying attention for the last 4 years. - venom8599, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Michigan's government is shut down because they simply couldn't pass a budget that was balanced in accordance with state law. The Federal Government has no such restrictions, thus the war and continued government spending even during times of already massive deficits.
- tidu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8or how most Americans didn't know the previous story, nor this story happened.
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Scroll down to the section on Cheney and read it all.
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2006/3313rohatyn_ ... - TeCuervo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Morale? I think you may want to explain that.
- AQMessiah, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Hate to be the one that says this but...
Source please? - huertanix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Screw their success rate, if you shoot Iraqi civilians and US troops, it's unacceptable and definitely NOT something to reward.
- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Godwins law is pretty much irrelevant at this point.
- 808kick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Mercenary_Conventi ...
Because breaking UN protocols is real ***** kosher, how come the rules have to apply to everyone else in the world except you? - ren1999, on 10/14/2007, -2/+7I demand that that Blackwater no-bid contract be withdrawn and a full investigation as to where our tax dollars have been going -- to be initiated now.
- inactive, on 10/14/2007, -0/+5Last week: More civilians slaughtered by Blackwater mercenaries for straying close to a convoy - Pentagon sees video and suspends Blackwater's contract.
This week: Here's the $100 million you asked for and a new contract. Keep up the good work, boys. - sandman979, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yep. It must be good to have a paramilitary co. Only in America... Does anybody else see the problem of having a paramilitary that can be rented by the best bidder? What is going to happen once this monster grows larger than our national security? As I see it, this is going to eventually replace our army. Please don't tell me is impossible. With this kind of money and the rampant corruption we live in everything possible.
- TeCuervo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5So we have to treat civilians guilty until proven innocent and they have to be ready for summary execution. Did you actually read the news? google the issue maybe? I am curious, where does your divine inspiration come from? A bleach and ammonia cocktail?
- kreneskyp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5100% success rate. except for when your buddies get ambushed, murdered and mutilated and then hung from a bridge. Then the real army has to come in to clean up.
all these recent events really has to make ya wonder. maybe those blackwater thugs did something to deserve getting strung up like that. all i know is if you came into my neighborhood, shot up my car and hurt my family you better kill me too cause only one of us is leaving alive. - londubh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5At least Halliburton didn't gun down civilians without provocation. You are probably upset that the FBI shot and killed Randy Weaver's wife armed with nothing but a baby but not upset that Blackwater did the same thing. A thug is a thug is a thug and it doesn't matter if they are liberal or conservative or whatever ism they choose to follow. Since we must be dopey liberal moonbats you must be a brainwashed neocon wingut. I hope you know your history and how the Nazis came to power or pick your favorite fascist junta and compare it to what the Cheney and Bush are doing. Obviously I'm wasting my time on you but I have to try. If you read only one looney er dopey liberal moonbat screed you should read this one: Naomi Wolf on Colbert Report: 10 steps to fascism http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/21/naomi-wolf-on ...
- Dgen_X, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Good...because I was getting sick of leaving my house every few years to drive over to my old elementary school to vote anyway
- zoezack, on 10/14/2007, -1/+6 Election fraud and American tax dollars in the hands of this mafia style administration is taxation without representation. Innocent people are dying and Americans are forced to pay for this! That makes taxpayers complicit in this illegal "war" ("occupation" describes it better). America has been hijacked and forced to drown in the Blackwater muck. Innocent people are dying! Blackwater is killing innocent people! Americans are forced to borrow from the unborn to pay for this. Anyone who thinks this is okay is a sociopath.
- dupswapdrop, on 10/14/2007, -1/+6Blackwater=mafia hit squad for Bush
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5civilizians? is that from civ VIII? cmon man proofread.
- WaldoX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+61mp3ach
- Bing11, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Bush is in charge of the military, in case you missed that.
- BlueCalico, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4OK, so give funds to Blackwater (murderers) and introduce legislation (H.R. 3675) to prohibit Federal grants to or contracts with Columbia University. Hmmmm....
- pgillan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5The aviation unit of Blackwater is called "Presidential Airways?" Really?
- cloudyprison, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I guess it's time to become a Diplomat.
- Arcesius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4blind link with no description... bad idea
- Arcesius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yup. I sympathize with the "terrorists". Your life has to really suck if you're willing to kill yourself and a whole bunch of other people in the process.
