I am not disputing the fact that they are a CONTRACTED service, what I am saying is that THOSE that call them MERCINARIES are dead wrong!
They work for a contracting service no more no less, The contractor hires them, pays them, and tells them what to do.

As far as Blackwater being the only private security agency in Iraq, that is wrong as well there are over 150 other companies providing services as well.
The fact that Blackwater is also involved in developing protective gear for he military also explains why the have it before our troops field testing ( DOES THE MEDIA NOTE THAT?)
No it does not because that would not fit the liberal agenda of pointing fingers


Thee personell that work for Blackwater were/are once the best the military had to offer decided to get out and take the money are no difference than you and I.
Take the money!!

The politicians will lose this war not the soldiers!!!!

Oldtimer while most of the time I do not agree with your political statements I do respect you.
Too bad I cannot say the same for some of the other posters that follow your line of thought, and can only post things that show how biased they are.
You at least have some insight as to the issues not just spouting.

You andIs this the new direction of our country- to hire a paid "civilian" army and law enforcement-- and pay them at a much higher rate than the sworn officials... :???: Have we depleted our military and law enforcement so greatly we have to call up a paid posse of mercenaries :???: I have a great fear of armed law enforcement/militia groups whose only sworn allegiance is to who can pay them the most money :shock:

Blackwater is/was hired not to replace our army, in fact their primary function is to PROTECT high ranking officials ans state department officials during visits to Iraq.

They are not mercenaries as the true definition of a person who hires into FORIEGN SERVICE. Blackwater personell are american citizens hired by the state department to work as protectors for state deparment officials!!
Once again the liberal press only gives half the story and the liberal believers take it as fact.

That's not true. Blackwater employes Chilean nationals, mostly former soldiers, in Iraq. They are NOT American citizens. They are mercenaries.


Most of Blackwaters personel are American citizens . And all of them have to have security clearance from the state dept.


hopalong is right, they protect state deparment officials. And I have not heard any one in the state dept. complain about the job Blackwater is doing ...

Do'nt believe all you hear from the press.
