At this point, I don’t really have a problem with these allegations.

[In the speech, Prince proposed that the US government deploy armed private contractors to fight “terrorists” in Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, specifically to target Iranian influence.]

This was the gist of Tom Clancy's book, “Teeth of the Tiger.” The U.S. operatives were sheep-dipped special forces being paid with private funding.

Bill Clinton gave BlackWater its first U.S. contract. He once asked if it was possible to kidnap or kill Saddam using “Ninjas.”

I’m missing something here. What is new or special about the USG paying private operators to go handle biz with the baddies?

IS THIS NEW..?

Hey, his words are encouraging, sure, but....I don’t see what’s new here.

EXPLAIN...?
