When we pull out of Iraq we will no longer need a private killer mercenary corporation. The problem is that we will have all these unemployed private mercenary killers here at home...with nothing to do.

So, Blackwater must be disarmed. This is like disarming a nation, but every weapon that would otherwise be illegal for a US citizen to own, but be take away from Blackwater and that applies to EVERY employee.

Since Blackwater is a private company, any storage of illegal weapons here in the United States must be a crime. The same infraction that would be imposed on you or me if we had illegal weapons.

Oil Companies may not act like occupying forces; hence they would be mercenaries in the hire of a foreign government. They must rely on the local government to provide security. The local government could hire Blackwater, but (1) must supply the weapons and (2) any American hired would be by definition a mercenary in the hire of a foreign government.

This just starts the thought. Have fun when you think about 250K psycho killers coming home.

 Maybe Barry can hire them to protect the White er...Black house.
