George Bush's private army back In Iraq and now being unleashed here in America!

CHILLY!

I am from Illinois and I can't imagine anywhere from the corn to the ghetto that needs Blackwater Mercenaries in it. That's for video games not real life.

Someone needs to get the article to Obama.
So he can start working on kicking ass and taking names.

Damn is this for real????

re: conniepae
Yeah, I know it doesn't matter what we call it, I was just trying to put the words into real context. George Orwell warned about the improper use of (the English) language in his 1946 essay "Politics and the English Language" (http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm). It's really a fascinating read and still applies to many things today

re:Marilynn Murray
Let's just hope the next president isn't McCain, because that's just more of Bush but with a different face.

We are going to have a new president, People need to organize and tell him what we want. One lone voice doesn't mean much but as a group..........

neokn, I don't think it matters what it was called in the past, we need to figure out how to change it today, before it's only a blip in history, with a future of 'decidership'. We need 'Leaders' not 'deciders'!

We need to find out fast how we can still take back our future?

Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a Gift, that's why we call it Present

We need to find a way to use the Gift (FREEDOM) we have Today, because our Present dictates our future.

(predictable response when liberal talking points are threatened by reality)

Obama says we should negotiate with our enemies like those great Dems of the past - Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy. Roosevelt did not negotiate - his policy was Unconditional Surrender. Truman did not negotiate, he upheld Roosevelt's policy through 1945 and then sent in the troops when N. Korea threatened the South. Kennedy did negotiate which ultimately led to the Crisis in October.

Had our Philanderer in Chief not propped up his failing economy in the mid 90's by eviscerating our military*, we would not be forced to hire private contractors to perform duties the military no longer has the men or materiel to handle.

Thank goodness we still have entrepreneurs and former military willing to face death at the hands of coward extremists and support the US Military, serve the interests of the United States, protect diplomats and innocent civilians in Iraq - and ultimately protect you and me..

*American military forces that were eliminated during the administration of Bill Clinton and Al Gore:

- 709,000 regular (active duty) personnel.

- 293,000 reserve troops.

- Eight standing army divisions.

- 20 Air Force and Naval Air wings with 2,000 combat aircraft.

- 232 strategic bombers.

- 19 strategic ballistic missile submarines with 3,114 nuclear warheads on 232 missiles.

- 500 ICBM’s with 1,950 warheads.

- Four aircraft carriers and 121 surface combat ships and submarines plus all the support bases, shipyards, and logistical assets needed to sustain such a naval force.

morriwe, don't deal with reality, just be glib and smartass, that's how we got to here!

I think we should all get together and invite Mahmoud Abbas, Ahmadinejad, Hu Jintao, Kim Jong Ill, Hugo Chavez, and Osama Bin Laden to a veggie roast. We could all meet in Saudi Arabia and discuss what it is like to be a kafir. After we repent for all our war crimes such as freeing the Jews from Dachau, liberating France, Italy, the Philippines, Polynesia, and Kuwait. Oh yeah, and for building McDonalds in Arabia. They will then divide our possessions, our land, and our families among themselves. Then the Dhimmis will be told where we are to live, how much we have to eat, where to send our jizya, and which madrassa the men must attend. Ladies, don’t forget your burqa! Just think how this will lower our carbon foot print!

Crazy shit

Here is a link about Richard Nixon and his attack on the Vietnam anti-war movement. Just think what Nixon could have done with his own private army. It's time to be afraid, very afraid!

Stand up now, while we can!

ranchocharcoredondo, I'm confident they won't create an army against the chemical plants and factories that pollute. They are the ones who will be protected.

I fear voices of individuals who speak out against chemical plants and factories will be the targets! They are an intricate part of the new Corporate run America. We are going away from 'We The People'. We are going toward 'We The Corporations', because they rule the world and they will have their own private army to guarantee it.

Is there any possibility of electing a majority of honest people wthout public financing of elections? Without a house cleaning at the CIA and FBI we don't stand a chance of doing much. How in the Hell did this happen? No news. Don't let them get the internet, or it's over.

they better create an army against all those chemical plants and factoryes that pollute the planet..........

The only thing I can say is, "I wish I could vote for this video 1,000,000,000 times and make it the top videos on Current.com, for it is sooo important for Americans to realize, these guys could be policing us, with the mere stroke of a pen.

During the early 90's at the hight of daddy Bush's drug war, I was raising teenage boys in the inner city. I was more afraid of the police than the drug dealers.

My oldest son was an Honor Roll Student, who was never in trouble and maintained above a 4 point average in high school. That did not protect him from harrassment by our local police. He was walking on our street and the police drove up and asked him where he was going. He answered, "home, why, are you going to give me a ride?" Their answer was, "if we give you a ride it won't be home."

I wasn't racially motivated because we are white. It was economically motivated. I live in the inner city and every young person was suspect, just because of where we live.

It was sad then, it will be even sadder in the future, when they have private mercenaries to police Americans for what ever war they and mainstream media spin.

SAD, SAD, SAD! Thanks for posting the video. I wish it would wake Americans from their slumber.

One thing is for certain; too few people know about the whole Blackwater thing.

Where i live (sunny Netherlands) no one i talked to so far did know about Blackwater at all - not even the people that had been servicing in Afghanistan for the Dutch army.

The key phrase in this report is that... their republican allies in Congress are shielding these perpetrators from any effective oversight or accountability...as they are shielding this administration also...and in the film footage the one guy is saying, "Jesus Christ, this is like a f**king turkey shoot.." while they're killing innocent civilians..!

People, this is more than criminal. It is more than sacriligious. It is insane...and they're doing this in our name...

It is time to seek out these republican members of Congress and hold them, along with the rest of this sordid group, accountable for their actions... Will someone please wave a magic wand and erase all of these sick scumbags...we don't seem to be able to have a real Congress, a real government...of the people...

This is what happens when the power is usurped...two terms in a row...lets fire the whole damn bunch of them...

This is been going on since the beginning of time This is nothing new Keith. we all love mission impossible man from uncle and any other superiority, idea that puts us one step ahead. We just dont want to believe it's to the exstent of killing with out retribution. Our goverment like any other has a do what they want agenda, and no one will be able to say a damn thing. its NWO in full effect. Just for the record don't worry nothing will change with new leadership either because they are all swarn in under a different set of morals and principles then we are which is to believe and trust. Get your heads out of your asses people and get with the program cause we you already are.

...and fast

I second that emotion Keith. We need to make sure that those in power understand that these actions will not be tolerated by a free people...change must happen now....

"They don't want a second revolution."

Too bad, because at the rate they are going, they'll get one.

They need their private army when they tell us that our money isn't worth the paper is printed on and that we all have to start over again.

We of course will still owe our liabilities but our assets will be rendered useless. The private army will be there to prevent us from rising up in revolution.

They don't want a Second American Revolution.

This is looking like it has to be stopped from the ground up. Recall elections of congress people would be the place to start. I'd like to see a recall started right now against Nancy Pelosi. That might inspire her to put impeachment on the table in a hurry. It isn't just Bush's fault alone. Our stupid go along legislators allowed this and we and our democracy are in danger. Bet if a recall was started against Pelosi old wimpy Harry Reed would get busy on Impeachment too. Maybe we should start a recall on him at the same time, just to hurry things along?

This is terrifying...and I agree, huntre, all of these people should be punished for their crimes against humanity...Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld and all of the Cronies including that right-wing Christian fundamentalist who sponsers Blackwater...

How has it come to this..?

Blackwater operates outside of all known law. Don't forget, your taxes are paying for this. Speak up! Don't let the Bush administration walk away clean. They must pay for their crimes against humanity.

This is terrifying and makes me wonder what will happen when the Bush Dynasty is out of power. Will Blackwater go away? Or will the next aministration pick up where Bush left off? Ominous is putting it lightly.

i "think" the house intelligence committee should have it's own private security firm , complete with secret agents posing as republican special interest lobbyists with deep pockets.

It clearly violates U.S. Law, State's rights & sovereignty, and the U.S. constitution (this is not what is meant by an armed militia) and Blackwater mercenaries operating in the U.S. should be arrested by police wherever they are seen. Why haven't we heard this on the television news?

This reminds me of the Gestapo, or nazi secret police.
I'm honestly thinking that the U.S. is slowly going fascist under Bush's terms.

blackwater in New Orleans?! wow.

We're living in a police state.

Blackwater will backfire one day and become a problem for the US government and the US citizens. These people are mercenaries, and don't care who they kill and why they kill. We should all be very concerned.

P.S. Using Immortal Technique's song in the video is a very fitting touch.
