No matter how many times Blackwater gets

in trouble or is sued under another name it still

manages to get lucrative contracts.


You would

think that the US public might get a

little bit riled up and even form a tar and

feather party rather than a tea party.

But probably this will not even make the

mainstream news to any extent.


Xe will guard CIA facilities in Afghanistan

and elsewhere. Watch out Afghans don't

get too close to the wrong places.

Of course exactly where these places

to be guarded are classified.


This new contract comes exactly one

day after a commission investigating war

zone contracts blasted the State Dept. for

awarding another 120 million dollar

contract to Xe for guarding U.S.

consulates under construction in Afghanistan.


The firm has been facing lawsuits and

possible prosecution since 2007. Apparently

Blackwater is for sale.



Maybe General McChrystal will buy out

owner of Xe services to keep himself busy.


Let's hope.

McChrystal crossed the line when he criticized civilian chain of command?

A decorated General is expected to take orders from a non military member.... is absurd!

What does a career politician know about military matters? Nothing. So why do they even weigh in? Makes no sense.

I propose, when we are at war, General of the military (not arm chair general of draft dodger era) step up to take command over military matters. Lets leave public policy matters up to President (of politicians)

We must separate the two in order to run an efficient and productive government. Don't you think?

Who says politician and General cant get along? General knows all too well the importance of being a team player (politicians are clueless about the importance of team work)

Lets do a switcher roo Politician be subordinate to military General.
Military general mentor politician make for a more rounded government.

Intelligence driven martial law anyone?
We are at war. War calls for leaders with experience.
We cant carry on depending on politician to win the war, when all politician has is his own interest at heart.


Separate but equal. Needs to be law.
