I smell lying piece of shit who may have been caught doing something, then tried to cut a deal by lying about others.

YMMV

Blackwater makes so much money that it does not need to deal in illicit arms.

Funny how the founder stepped down 7 days before Triple canopy took the new security contract for the State Dept. "Prince announced his resignation as CEO of Blackwater (now called Xe) on March 2, 2009. Prince will remain as chairman of the board but will no longer be involved in day-to-day operations."

conspiracy......

yes..........

America had enough experts in effective interrogation that it didn't need to torture using its employees (water board) or out sourcing (extra judicial rendition).

Belief leads people to do unnecessary and potentially illegal things.

You're 100% right. I mean, this would be the 1st time ever that a CxO of a financially successful corporation was caught trying to make even more money with something illegal.

Sounds solid. "Your honor, the witness will testify that he has no direct knowledge of these accusations, but has heard some very incriminating things through the grapevine"

he's a right-wing fundamentalist Christian fucking nutbar, who found a niche with a government that basically held the same beliefs, sold them on billions of dollars in contracts to do whatever the hell they want, including war, crusades, and yes, he is and was capable of just about anything.

power has a way of corrupting people, and if he was getting backed into a corner somehow withe DoJ, then one of the ways out of that was doing exactly what his company is very good at - killing people.

Smuggling arms? Why not - lots of money in that too, especially if it was furthering his 'crusade'.

Sad part is that our current government has expanded their role, especially in Afghanistan, and still uses their security for people like Hillary and other Gov't officials......

fire them all and terminate the contracts. There are a lot of people out there that could use the work, government security should be a government job.

gee there must have been a shortage of firearms in Iraq

That whole plan is about as logical as smuggling cheese into Wisconsin.

if they wanted shotguns that are suppressed why not just get a boatload of Saiga's from the former soviet boc countries?

Easier to make into full auto, larger capacity, muzzle already threaded, cheaper.

And there are plenty of lathes and mills in Iraq as well as metal.


But then again, I do not know much about guns or how to make things.

How about selling arms to Iranians in exchange for money and the release of hostages, then taking part of that money and using it to fund anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua? It may not be logical, but it did happen.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

there you go again, blind belief of the left controlled media.

Did you miss my point, or just merely ignore it would be easier to procure said firearms abroad?

Unless off course the company already had a large inventory of them and has found a safe way to unload them....

Didn't know being a Christian had anything to do with arms smuggling, unless you're just being a bigot for effect.

I didn't realize you knew him. What's he like.

I did not know that being a Christian had anything to do with murdering people, but in the case of Dr. Tiller, it certainly appears to.

So whether or not Christianity has any to do DIRECTLY with arms smuggling, then maybe 'no'.

But in the case of this nutbar, it might have, given that he is CHRISTIAN, and he is implicated in ARMS SMUGGLING.

you might have to ask him about the connection. I just read, study and absorb evidence, facts and study the cases before me.

with or without the arms smuggling, he is still a right-wing fundamentalist Christian fucking nutbar.
