Robinson: “Barack Obama has criticized the Bush administration’s decision to outsource so many essentially military tasks in Iraq and elsewhere”.

Well, Barack Obama has voted funds for “the Bush administration’s decision to outsource so many essentially military tasks in Iraq and elsewhere” several times and he has never pressed in the Senate for legislation to stop or even reverse the outsourcing. He does not demand that the “outsorcers” now leave Iraq pronto but promises their protection by a residual force after 16 months of scam-withdrawal. What hypocrisy!

Moreover, all experts have agreed that the “outsourcing” was a consequence of too few troops in Iraq. When has Senator Obama pressed for more troops and fewer “outsorcers”? Never. This is Monday-morning quarterbacking supported by the “forgive-all” Mr. Robinson.

There’s a psychological aspect to “Blackwater” that should be acknowledged.  It is known that soldiers, under hard fighting conditions, can become hooked on the rush of combat. This results in a state of mind that makes people rush to volunteer for additional tours of duty. Career military folks may do it for medals, extra money, or the sheer thrill rush of danger all under the guise of “serving my country” or “things to finish over there” or “don’t want those people to die in vain”.  For soldiers of fortune, which Blackwater personnel are, combat is catnip for them. When the contract ends many of them will develop PTSD, and will eventually go into depression followed by rage and then watch out.

This has been swept so far under the rug that there’s a hump causing the couch to tip. Barry and the boys will do nothing about our mercs because they are a part of his master plan for Iraq. They will be the soldiers left in place while Barry claims he pulled the regular army out, as promised.

Mercs are here to stay! Heck just wait for the shit to really hit the fan here in the good ol’ USA. As cities and small towns tax bases deteriorate, and federal aid dries up, police will be the first major expense to go. We see this happening already all over the nation. The thing is that while the poor urban and rural areas will do without, private gated communities have popped up around the US that have hired their own private police to work the gate, keep the rif-raf out, and tell the parents what time their kids came home. All they need now is a moat to keep the serfs honest, and Feudal america will be reborn!

Yessiree, mercs are here to stay!(in one form or another) well, at least for those who can afford them.

I rarely agree with Mr. Robinson’s opinions, but this time he is probably correct.  What we are about to witness is judicial theatrics——a trial with a pre-conceived verdict to appease whomever.  And what’s funny it will fit well into the annals of history——oh, that’s right the victors always write the history.

The handwriting was on the wall way back when Bremer issued his ‘100 orders’ one of which grants foreign contractors, including private security firms, full immunity from Iraq’s laws.  Even if they, say, kill someone or cause an environmental disaster, the injured party cannot turn to the Iraqi legal system.  Rather, the charges must be brought to US courts.  The recent verdict in the Blackwater case is a blatant example of why this order was established early on.

There were/are 100,000 contractors in Iraq, 20,000 military contractors. One firm alone has a $300 million contract.  What’s been a tragedy for thousands has been an obvious financial boon for Bush & Co. The soldier in the field, in the name of we-can’t-afford-it, is denied proper body armor, denied well-armored vehicles while Bush & Co. reap billions.

The questions that need to be asked, probably not until Bush leaves office, focus on those who gave the orders first, then those who pulled the triggers.  Terror, is our most important product here in the good ol’ US of A to borrow an old advertising line.  Since WWII, we have owned the title of topgun terrorist, regardless of what is written.  Punchlines like using ‘overwhelming force’ are thrown around like free chocolates, but it is clear these goons got their orders from someone?  Having said that, crimes of looking the other way should be considered if they can’t get testimony on who gave the orders.  These were the ‘shock and awe’ guys who were told, no doubt, they would set the fear levels for ordinary citizens.  They will tell you that scenes like this were necessary to protect our poor little troops.  Shocker!

Manslaughter’s ass…youve got to be kiding me..

These are “ole bullshits” HAND PICKED MERCS….We sure as hell DO NOT WANT THEM ON AMERICAN SOIL….WE need to be VERY AFRAID when these religion based killers[no different than al-quaida]get back on AMERICAN SOIL…This IS “ole bullshits” HAND PICKED ARMY OF OCCUPATION….Waiting to strike….So “ole bullshit” can KEEP POWER….
