Why didn't the republicans hire blackwater to invade Iraq?

Question

Instead of using $3 billion dollars a week of U.S. tax payer money. And getting 3700 American troops killed.

Why not simply hire Blackwater and take over Iraq?

Just think, you could invade Iraq witha civilian militia. save our troops lives. And then since you hired Blackwater, you could move to Iraq.

what a deal. Instead you use taxpayer dollars for Iraq rather than healthcare for American citizens.

Wouldn't the wise thing for republicans be to simpl move to Iraq? they love it better than America. And they have blackwater. what could be better?

oh I know- a free ride on the American taxpayer to the tune of $100,000 per minute? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2002780385_spending03.html

and 3700 American lives wasted for a war you could have simply hired Blackwater to do?

Do us Americans a favor next war you republicans start. Leave the American troops lives alone. And he U.S. tax dollars in the U.S.

Bet the republicans can't wait to move to Iraq.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure Blackwater is a spin-off of the security functions that used to be within Halliburton's purvue - Halliburton had multi-billion dollar no bid contracts from the very beginning of the Iraq War, so they were there at the beginning - neither they or our regular troops took many casualties until the 'insurgency' began after the Coalition Provisional Authority under Bremer (a USA and Bush appointee) fired all the Sunni government workers and forced them to become insurgents with all kinds of free weapons Sadaam left buried in the desert and that were ignored by us in favor of searching for the non-existent "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

Answer 2

Do you realize that those mercenaries cost more than our own army? Plus who ever said those 170,000 are more than our own troop has to be mentally slow, cause the US Marines alone have around 300,000 soldiers. Plus those companies don't have humane policies that the U.S. Military have (which hold us back to some point) I don't know but I am human enough to hope that in all this the people of Iraq don't get screwed by both sides. And while this war might hurt the tax payers there are people in Iraq that are grateful for the troops being there. And unless you have been to Iraq don't tell me I am lying cause the media just say things as they feel will get more rating. Must of you don't know what it feels like to be there, you should sit and talk to the translators so they can tell you about the reality of their country.

In the end a hired army isn't capable of doing what a profesional army is. A profesional army it's far more humane and I believe that it's worth the diference in money.

Answer 3

You know that is a good question.Forces from Blackwater, Aegis and the other 168 other companies like them number over 170,000 which is more than our own military forces. The US Armed forces are a junior partner in this war- so I say bring them home and since Dubya has privitized the war, let them take more of the casualties and we can have our National Guard be the National Guard again- not be the International Guard

Answer 4

Blackwater does artwork there, yet they're a HELL OF plenty extra high priced than maximum classic infantrymen. Blackwater troops gets a commission around a $2 hundred,000 in line with 365 days while an enlistee basically gets perchance a fourth of that at superb. additionally, you elect an particularly military to do issues like attack cities and something requiring intense firepower. a gaggle of Blackwater operators, undesirable-*** nonetheless they may well be, are not going to accomplish important assaults as properly as a handful of tanks can. Sorry this would not ought to do with your query yet between the solutions; I purely ought to respond to the implication that Saddam replaced right into a "terrorist dictator". definite he replaced into ruthless yet what he did wasn't thoroughly unreasonable. Many human beings do not comprehend that the "genocide" he replaced into accused of replaced into from him gassing various cities that have been in revolt against the Iraqi united states of america, and replaced into condoned through the international community on the time. definite this is intense in spite of the undeniable fact that it additionally saved an excellent form of lives through scuffling with ability civil conflict. A civil conflict we are actually seeing interior the wake of his absence. additionally there is not any evidence by any ability that he had something to do with helping 9/11 or that however if he had nukes that he might have any intentions of utilizing them on us. We weren't Iraq's important concern, Iran replaced into.

Answer 5

Are you going to find job for all the men and women of the Armed Forces who are now out of job b/c you gave the job of protecting this country to a private security firm? Because that's what we do.

Answer 6

Blackwater is a security force. They're defensive, not offensive.
