Blackwater helicopter shot down over Baghdad
- Thread starter forestal
- Start date
I hate to admit it, Forestal, but I'm starting to come around to thinking we should get the hell out of there.
Figure it this way:
The Iraqis are never going to pony up as long as we'll do it for them. It takes 9 weeks of basic and a few months of AIT to turn an 18 year old punk fresh out of high school into a soldier - so what seems to be the problem with the Iraqis?
I'd suggest they're not getting with the program because either they don't *want* to, or they don't have to as long as we'll do it for them. Either way, it's not beneficial for us to hang around trying to teach pigs to sing.
There are WAY more Iraqis in Iraq than there are US military personnel - what do they need us for?

Blackwater is largest civilan security contractor in Iraq.
Almost 100% of their employees are former military guys and most have been in combat, alot of special forces guys get on with them after their military time is up.
Like I said they are into everything over there, including aviation.

Not a bad theory until Iran and Syria move in and take over and destabilize the entire region as the tribes start warring wholesale. They strong arm Kuwait and Saudi because both will now know we don't have the guts to come help again and we get squeezed out of an oil supply. China and the Russians both need oil they can get and we will have to buy from them or some other middle man. $8 a gallon doesn't sound very good to me. Our economy crashes, terrorists chant in the street because they know now the Great Satan doesn't have the stomach to turn them back. They keep getting more and more bold and pretty soon we are reading about car bombs going off at the Mall of America in Minnesota.vraiblonde said:

Russia is the worlds largest oil producer, they have no need of any more oil, but they would love some more turmoil to keep prices high, they are loving finally having some money coming in. China on the other hand would love lower oil prices to keep its economy going at full speed.

dang. that's sad to hear. Blackwater is a big time security company. They train special ops and all kinds of shooters and looters. They are based just north of us out of Moyock, NC.
