There are not new, when Obama took office, he would have been briefed. There has been three (two and one coming up) annual contract reviews that he or his administration could have acted on and killed the funding.

He could have made a speech that Blackwater was a mean icky poo company, but not a peep. He can call conservatives names in a speech but he can't address such an injustice that you claim happened?

I appeal to the logic that a purportedly "progressive" "hope and change" administration would not reward people who rape service people and murder innocent civilians by paying them on a fat contract. I am not talking about liability, as in a suit or charges. I am talking about cancelling an "at will" services contract, that the government can cancel in a half hour after deciding to cancel it.

The contracts with these and other security firms are written so that if you don't need them, you send them home. There are hundreds of these firms in theater, ready to work, and able to be paid. They could replace the Blackwater people with new people for liberal political groups to make allegations against.

Its like you discover your yard workers are beating your neighbors puppy. You go outside and fire them, you don't have to keep them, unless you discover the allegation was unable to be proven.

His administration can recall eggs because a few people got a stomach ache from salmonella. His administration can try to ban drilling across a whole seabed, because one well went horribly bad. He can apologize about the United States being such a bad player internationally.

He didn't do any of those things I would expect a sane administration to be able to do. He actually awarded Blackwater a new contract, and that has thrown a lot of doubt on the claims they are an army of rapists and murderers.

Do you seriously think that advances your argument?

My original point can be summed up as the motivations behind Blackwater and other contractors are political.

Either Obama is complicit in Murder and rape or the allegations are not credible.
