BLACKWATER coming to NOLA to provide "security services"
Bush looted and castrated FEMA in order to "privatize" relief.

There hasn't been any reaction from the Feds over this disaster because they have to wait for the private contractors to get their shit together (and Cheney gets the fat ass contracts in line and approved by the US House of Whores)

Well...here comes BLACKWATER!!! Just in time for "shoot to kill"

9. I think that we should direct them to 1600 Penn. Ave. to get them out!
I wonder if Gov. Blanco had any idea that this was in the cards?

8. This will allow for segregation because Blackwater will pull out the
whites and take them to places separate from the blacks.

10. I tried to warn people in an earlier thread
The best armed, best financed, most unaccountable army in the world. Bushes private army.

Be afraid, be very afraid. I hope and pray that blackwater receives the full Iraqi treatment in NOLA.

This may be this generations Fort Sumter. Give 'em hell!!! Agents of Blackwater are not your friends, they are mercenaries and psychopaths.

21. True
I remember seeing a video of 2 blackwater mercenaries in Iraq.
Both were on a roof sniping, they managed repulse an attack of around an hundred insurgents.(killing at least half of them)

"Looters" in NO are probably less experienced in urban warfare than those iraki "insurgent" were, they don't stand a chance.

14. Okay we'll take
# Airlift Services

# Humanitarian Support Services

# Logistics and Transportation Services

Once the area is VISIBLY headed for stablization. Then we might opt for Security. But right now I'm concerned about internal relief efforts. I wouldn't want anyone shot for canabalizing existing supplies in the lack of federal relief. It would be optimum to have internal relief working toward external relief. So we need people inside to motivate and coordinate these two efforts for maximum efficency. We need the meeting in the middle.

private companies making a profit off of it. :grr:

19. Wow. These mercenaries will go anywhere to kill people with dark skin
I wondered how long it would be before Bush and his minions figured out a way to make a buck off this tragedy.

23. Three guesses on who's going to be doing the looting!
Watch for a sudden influx of slightly waterlogged luxury goods on ebay being sold from a North Carolina address.
