Re: "Why ...still using Blackwater?" For what? (I heard they lost all of their State Department contracts... and they ain't called 'Blackwater' any more....)

Don't know that he's been lying about it all.......question is why are we using mercenaries at all..? There are more mercenaries in Afghanistan than there are American troops....why? Why did Bush employ them???? They aren't cheap.... Blackwater was kicked out of Iraq but has essentially reappeared under a different name... But you asking the question is curious....did you object to Bush using mercenaries in Iraq?????
