Who are the "bad guys"?

[240 is Back]

2000 insurgents and 500 al quida - according to Gen Barry Mccaffrey.

that's it.  they don't want us on their soil.

No oversight, no code of law to follow.  Truly a wild west show for ex-Seals, Special Ops and other assorted killers who want real action.

Yep, that's frightening. Hopefully they have some kind of code of conduct within their ranks. If not this sounds like a bad idea with the potential for massive abuses. Again, yikes.

Thats the problem or will be the problem. Right now they work with or under US forces and have to kinda watch what they are doing. plus their goals are in line with current US foreign policy. What happens when Mobile or BP asks them to go into and secure an area..without US or Nato assitance or more importantly oversite. Blackwater wants to filed a fully independent BN sized element with medical/airlift/airsupport/trans/in direc fire etc capablities. Think Marine MEU...that anybody can hire. Blackwater is owned by an ex nay Seal who is very tight with the CIA and the Conservatives in Washington. I don't think he would operate outside of US interests but other might.

Of course, U.S. interests only means taking whatever they can for themselves, and labeling everyone who opposes an insurgent or terrorist (which justifies killing them).

Why would they attack the U.S. military?

Becuase that's what makes the news.....

Awesome punchline. 

Those durkas aren't any good as they're backwards assholes. America = a crook.

I'd side with rich crooks any day of the week..
