Blackwater Aviation to take control of air support in Afghanistan? Could happen

<snip>
According to the Financial Times Deutschland, air support is being outsourced because of widespread domestic opposition in member countries to the deployment of more troops. The US has pioneered wide-scale military outsourcing as a force multiplier and for -- well, let's just say it -- plausible deniability in some situations. However, this is the first time military outsourcing has been used as a workaround to domestic opposition of a military action. This occurs at a time of broadening US public opposition to military outsourcing.

Perfect - a great opportunity for Blackwater mercenaries to kill even MORE civilians!

:sarcasm:

3. Do you have any idea how many innocent people they can kill via airstrikes?
The bloodthirsty CEOs and shareholders of Blackwater must be licking their chops.

4. Yes I do. That's why I posted.
These crazy fuckers can't wait to kill more brown people. Give them fully stocked military aircraft and immunity from all international law and it's off to the shooting range. They'll kill EVERYBODY.
