  • In marine speak blackwater is a synonym for sewage. I find that quite fitting.

  • jerry bremmer,("Diplomat" in the picture) who was the head of the CPA(Coalition Provisional authority also called Can't Produce Anything) was in the picture. He "De bathified" the old iraqi army which instantly made hundreds of thousands of troops effectively unemployed with arms. He prolonged the conflict years beyond what it could have been. He can goto hell...along with mercenaries. We did have DSS, but some idiot thought it would be cool to hire people who are expendable More..

    • @absu69
      emm... that was PAUL Bremmer and about 1/2 of the pictures were unrelated to private contractors who worked for the State Department to further US interest.

    • @absu69 Contractors also did a lot of good things as well such as saving the polish ambassador from an ambush which pinned his convoy down which he was also wounded and also rescuing marines trapped on a building in Najaf which was surrounded by hundreds of al-Mahdi fighters, blackwater snipers killed dozens of them. They also ran convoy protection daily to free up American troops for more important missions. They had excellent success records at basically everything they did and took casualties More..

    • @the_MEK Do you know your own source? Al-Akhbar news is cited.......a Lebanese based pro Hezbollah news outlet. Know what your parroting before you link it. On top of that this is entirely related to libya which is no state secret considering we bombed them constantly.

    • @bizzle By and large yes they were. There were good contractors and bad contractors. Aegis, Erinys, Reed and a few others were top quality imho. Blackwater also had good people but a few dickheads gave them a bad name. The bad contractors usually got found out and didn't last very long.
