Blackwater Founder: We Could Have Saved Ambassador Stevens -- Breitbart

The controversial founder of the private security firm Blackwater told Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that if Blackwater had been operating at the American consulate in Benghazi in September of 2012, Ambassador Christopher Stevens would still be alive.

On Sunday, Erik Prince, the founder and former CEO of Blackwater USA, told Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, that the Obama administration “turned its back” on the Americans at the consulate. In what Bannon described as a “no holds barred interview,” Prince shared his insights about a variety of contemporary issues, including foreign policy.

Iran is on a roll, according to Prince. “They won in Syria and they won in Iraq” he says, but they are vulnerable because “70% of their population is under 30” and they don’t have the same animosity toward the west that the Mullahs have.

Meanwhile, America looked on while the Iranian government brought in Hezbollah to crush it.
