4. Interesting he picked New Orleans

If they didn't care if Katrina killed a few hundred people, why would they mind the Germans coming for a visit?

6. Germany investigating Black water assassinations , deceiving congress?

Why are they at the center of war strategy? Why is this private army being used and still killing civilians, and being payed with tax dollars?

7. Jeremy Scahill's book Blackwater is chilling...

Blackwater is dangerous and should be put out of action.

It's a sneaky way of avoiding the draft so the democrats are playing along too. The taxpayers are paying four or five times the cost of putting regular US soldiers in the field to fight our wars, when the government hires these "Contract" soldiers. We are paying out all that extra cash so that the politicians don't have to pay the political cost that conscription would involve. Also the draft would soon lead the American people to demand that the troops come home.
