I've seen three-year-olds with bigger balls than this man. Wait...that didn't come out right.
Now if only his balls would drop:
The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee has issued a strong warning to the Defense Department over plans to award $1 billion in new contracts to the firm formerly known as Blackwater, accusing managers of the private security company of lying to win lucrative jobs in Afghanistan.
Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) also cited a history of allegedly abusive behavior by Blackwater employees, including misappropriation of government weapons and hiring of workers with criminal records that included assault and drug offenses.
Levin did not directly say that the Pentagon should cancel its plans for the contracts but urged officials to “consider the deficiencies” in Blackwater’s performance before making a final decision.
The firm’s inadequacies “appear to have . . . undermined our mission in Afghanistan,” the senator said in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.
Levin released the letter Thursday after an investigation by his committee raised questions about efforts by Xe Services, as Blackwater is now known, to seek defense contracts to train Afghan National Army troops.
The company bid for the job through a subsidiary known as Paravant.
In applying for the contracts, Paravant submitted statements saying it had years of experience and a strong cadre of trained, thoroughly screened instructors. In reality, Paravant was a shell company created solely to conceal Xe’s involvement and to avoid what one executive with the firm “called the ‘baggage’ associated with the Blackwater name,” according to a statement issued by Levin’s office.
Come on Carl, what’s so difficult with saying: “Blackwater/Xe/Paravant/whatever the hell their name is today shouldn’t get another fucking cent of taxpayers’ money because they’ve engaged in child prostitution, gun smuggling, murder, fraud, graymailing, and torture”?
Carl is just throwing his supporters a bone. Because if he really wanted to stop Blackwater from receiving taxpayers’ money he would use his power as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services instead of writing a goddamn pussified letter to the Pentagon.

But politicians wanna eat their cake and have it too, hedge their bets, so to speak; that’s why DC is such huge a pile of two-faced shit.

Get the word out Phuck, you’re president and his liberal goons are gonna try to force some hellcare shit down every American’s throat despite most of us telling him to fuck off with it.
Amazing, it’s the one subject most Americans, Dems, Repubs, Libs and Libs agree with — even tho it’s for different reasons – we don’t want their shiity half baked asshole reaming hellcare. Yet, the democrats willing to fuck the country and lose the votes FOREVER because of it.
While republicans have their problems, at least they listen to the MAJORITY of the citizens and constituents in the United States.
Now for all your foreign creeps who just can’t wait to see America get fuxd with a shadow of your fuxd hellcare, you will reconsider your youthful ignorant thinking when a child of yours get some serious illness and there’s no more superior American health industry to rely on.
