Scott Kaufman — Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince says his mercenaries could have stopped ISIS if not for Obama

At the Maverick PAC’s annual conference Friday night, Blackwater founder and former CEO Erik Prince said it was “a shame the [Obama] administration crushed my old business,” which could have easily defeated the Islamic State, The Daily Beast reports.
Blackwater, Prince said, “could’ve solved the boots-on-the-ground issue. We could have had contracts from people that want to get there as contractors. You don’t have the arguments of U.S. active duty going back in there.”
 
His mercenaries “could have gone in there and done it, and be done, and not have a long, protracted political mess that I predict will ensue.”…
He encouraged conference attendees to pressure their Republican representatives to fight for conservative values. “I want you to tell your congressman that we pay them to fight,” Prince said.
Out thugs are better than their thugs.

Lets see, one set of mercenaries claim they're than than another set of mercenaries. :(

The MICC must be loving this.

Why not just stage the Mercenary Olympics?

Like the Davis Cup in tennis, or the World Cup in Futbol, the regional qualifications can go on continuously ... with a temporary victor ceremonially crowned every 4 years.

That ought to allow us to produce our weapons and use them too. :(
