Seriously... I smell Bush.

The Obama administration awarded Academi a $250 million contract to work for the U.S. State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan.

Again this group of mercenaries is getting our taxpayer dollars to run rampant, this time in Afghanistan.

No accountability, no criminal charges, and weapons galore is a recipe for destruction and creating societies that hate us.

What excuses will his supporters make for yet another terrible moment in this administration?

I wonder how Americans would react if one of their loved ones was a victim of these mercenaries.

The one thing that Obama is doing well is the war on terror. Essentially continuing Bush's fight. If you don't believe that muslim terrorist want to still kill us, then you are muy muy estupido.

It is criminal. I know he has cut down on mercs. I know he has cut and wants to cut military more. I know he has ended iraq war end is ending war in afghan. I also know there are forces that are beyond his and he must balance his efforts, choose his battles. Especially since repubs obstruct all good efforts and we the people have failed in our responsibility to engage our govt. pressure through protest has only recently (OWS) woken up. It is criminal.
