went on to compare O’Reilly’s giant mobile mercenary unit to the French nobility
Didn’t Prince mean to say Freedom Fry nobility also known as common rabble, Marquis de Loofaette?

“There’s three arguments against this, there’s reliability, accountability and cost.”
All three are fantasy crushers for small minded men like you guys.
The guy is fishing around for another billion dollar no-bid contact. Sorry, Obama is smarter then that.

How does the board of Evian feel about using Evian watercannons on them?
I can’t wait to send Bill O’Reilly off on his Saudi Arabian fundraising tour.

Eric Prince is still living? How sad.
Fine by me. I’d rather see the Kock Boys funding this than the stupid ads they are paying to run on Orygun and other states.
In fact, since it’s mainly corporate interests they would be fighting for and protecting…hmmmmmmm I mean, if Oscar Meyer and Cargill want to sell bacon in the middle east then surely they’d be willing to pony up as the cost of entry to that market. Same thing for other American corporate interests around the globe.
Then our military could re-calibrate to defending America from attacks.
“It’s as part of American history sadistic fantasy as apple pie the rack,” he said, citing the involvement reverence of the Marquis de Lafayette Sade and Rochambeau Hannibal Lecter during the Revolution ‘Silence of the Lambs.’

HOLD THE PHONE.
Fox said something positive about France??? What sorcery is this?
Ahh the military culture elite now wants complete license, and wants to be paid for it. brilliant discussion
Billo, 25,000 is not a big enough army to deal with all the current dust ups around the globe. Even Rummy said we’d need “only” 75,000 troops to pacify Iraq in 2003 and look at how well THAT turned out. And that was with Blackwater’s help too.
Billo, do you really think we’ve forgotten what’s happened in the Middle East since Gulf war I in 1991?

““Y’know, in war, bad things happen inevitably, but there is control,
there’s a central control over such a force,” O’Reilly said.”
I must say that Billos lack of understanding of military matters is epic. what control is he blathering about? Is Halliburton gonna be Command Central? Or some other defense contractor? Are we gonna privatize the Defense Dept. completely? Come to think of it that might save on some tax money… and that’s a central republican plank.

Erik Prince? The king of the century Mercenary?
Yeah. All-American as long as there’s a few billion dollars going into his pockets.
[“It’s as part of American history as apple pie,” he said.]
ROTFL…What a couple of f*cking epic dumbasses Prince and O’Reilly are. A mercenary army to do our dirty work permanently! Jeeeez’!
That’s correct Mr. Prince and BillO’…They were called the Hessians! Remember how that turned out?
Perhaps we could call your mercenary army “The New Xe-s”?
Perhaps we’ve reached our stage of the late Roman Empire when the empire often contracted whole bands of barbarians as autonomous foederati?
Or we could use the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire as an template. Just pay em’ and stay home safe and sound!
Whatta’ plan, huh? Easy as X …Y …& …Xe’!

Bill O’reilley speaks about war from experience. And not because of the military which he once insinuated he’d served in, or from his experience in Vietnam, which he managed to avoid on account that he was conveniently in England at the time. His experience, as he has told us, comes from his serving as war correspondent in Central America. And maybe in Argentina.
But I was in El Salvador, I believe, where Bill was wounded, or at least roughed up, during an argument with a Sandinista bellboy whom he refused to tip. Or maybe it was the hotel cook In Buenos Aires who over salted his falafel.
Either way, Bill knows that war is hell, but sadly, necessary.
