Just a bit disturbing on several levels.

1. maybe it will give Hillary a reason to nuke Iran. A lot of crazyness

and no one cares

2. I am guilty myself of paying attention to the wrong things

Thank goodness for friends and email. LOL

3. "Contractors"

I didn't know Blackwater had a Navy.

But, I digress...

Can mercenaries start a Gulf of Tonkin-type incident?

4. Looks like we have two navies now!

I fear we are heading into a new era where a mercenary WILL start a Gulf of Tonkin type incident.

5. AAGH!

Were you the one who posted the story about Blackwater trying to open up shop in San Diego? If not, did you see that thread?

6. I have some activist friends in San Diego so I know a lot about that

They fought Blackwater once and forced them to cancel their plans to build a training camp. Now they are sneaking back in with a vocational school. Blackwater seems determined to be in San Diego, probably because of Camp Pendleton.

7. Yes, that and the GOP are entrenched down there...

...oh, and don't forget the border is there too.

They can pull some accidental "training exercises".

8. My friends like to tease me

that even though I live in a very red state, they are surrounded by far more idiot republicans than I am.

9. They already did..

Can you say "Fallujah"?

Sure, I knew you could..
