Blackwater and Bush

They are mercenaries. Paid thugs and nothing more. They arent putting any money in our army they are sinking tax payer money in a merc group called "black water."

They were down there during Katrina not to help aid victims, but to maintain order.

A countrie's army usually fights for the pride and protection of their own country. BW fights for money and will do anything if the price is right.

Sound funny?

Politicians only get appalled at these groups when they get found out by the American public. If it is not black water it will be some other merc group.
