>> Blackwater Inc Professional no minds
Erik Prince is nothing but a thug I was left wondering what type of loser no minds would ever do this type of work
Great book and a sorry commentary on American leadership Another tragic legacy of the Bush years
>> Goon Squad for the Corporate Elite
This gives a history and account of various misdeeds by Blackwater and their born ultra rich right wing Christian kook founder Erik Prince It goes in depth with the infamous Fallujah incident where civilian contractors actually they were former Special Forces guys working for Blackwater were ambushed yanked out of the car burnt alive and their corpses were hung from a Fallujah bridge It looked like an inside job set up to me when I first saw the incident in the news a few years back and now I am even more convinced Between it being a last minute assignment at least one of the guys was in the doghouse with higher ups the Iraqis not only had a camera there to record the whole event but they had an anti American sign written up in ENGLISH all ready to show Plus Bush was on the campaign trail so this would fire up all the dumb rednecks in the States and they needed this as propaganda to justify going full bore into Fallujah Sorry but the Blackwater/Fallujah incident was a blatant Psy Op
Another shocking thing was how politically clueless some of these Blackwater mercenaries seemed to be There was one where he thought Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11 and another was quoted as saying if he was going to die it would be out with a bang defending his country Somebody please explain to me what the hell shooting at a bunch of Arab hillbillies on the other side of the world has to do with defending America Put Blackwater on the Mexican border might be of use for defending America but that will never happen because they are really a globalist goon squad that pimp patriotism to morons when its convenient
Probably the scariest thing is Blackwater is angling to be some sort of global mercenary peacekeeping force for the United Nations If there is a problem area instead of sending in Nato or UN forces to the Sudan or where ever they send in Blackwater But really corporate goon squads for the elite are nothing new ever heard of the Pinkertons but Blackwater may end up like America as a whole a snake eating its own tail out of their lust for short term greed They already are using a significant number of soldiers from third world nations because they are cheaper to hire This book does have a big left wing bias but I actually think only a leftist would write a realistic book on Blackwater I can only imagine the garbage a book about Blackwater would be if it had been written by a Neo Con Republican
>> Informative but heavily biased
This book delivered basically what I was looking for and that was a description of how this company got its start what its role is in the War on Terror and who are the main players behind it However If you are bothered by left leaning beliefs to the point of distraction you may want to look elsewhere for the story of Blackwater As far as I was concerned it was a decent book but could have been much better with at least an effort made by the author to be objective
