Hello.
Blackwater.
In all of the conflicting reports surrounding the Blackwater shooting of Iraqi civilians another fact has been overlooked.
The U.S. State department, on September 27, awarded Blackwater another contract.
Presidential Airways, Inc., an aviation Worldwide Services company (d/b/a Blackwater Aviation), Moyock, N.C., is being awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract for $92,000,000.00. The contractor is to provide all fixed-wing aircraft, personnel, equipment, tools, material, maintenance and supervision necessary to perform passenger, cargo and combi Short Take-Off and Landing air transportation services between locations in the Area of Responsibility of Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. This contract was competitively procured and two timely offers were received. The performance period is from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2011. The United States Transportation Command Acquisition Directorate, Scott Air Force Base, Ill., is the contracting activity (HTC7 11 -08-D-0010).
So for shooting and killing and wounding the very people we are trying to ‘liberate’ the government has decided that this company should be rewarded for its efforts.
And the profiteering goes on…..
For a list of those companies that are receiving Government contracts in Iraq go here
Keep in mind these are the people who are using your tax dollars to promote death and destruction.
God Bless American Business Interests.
