Default Blackwater

Bush's Shadow Army


This is an article about Blackwater, i suggest you read it because i doubt you're too familiar with what Blackwater is exactly. It's a private military. I'll repeat that...private military. They're considered contractors in Iraq and so aren't counted as military personel, they aren't held accountable for any crimes they commit, and they have committed a few, and they are at an almost one to one ratio with American soldiers on the ground in Iraq. They're not just international, they were also deployed after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Fully equipped with automatic machine guns and secondary pistols on their legs and large flap jackets on their chests. For relief effort, to help prevent looting...that's not scary?


Guess who helps fund Bush and his administration. Guess who Bush's administration likes to hire.

I have never heard of it, but I'm going to look into it. It's just scary how much stuff goes on without regular people knowing.

It's all over Wikipedia. Blackwater Worldwide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I find it interesting.

There is also a book about it. Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
