The US has no right to be hiring these thugs and overpaid crooks to do anything in Iraq, or, anywhere. Privatization stinks and should be made illegal, in turns of government. But, gee whiz, look who has put them there and pushed for privatization of everything in the government...more even better paid thugs. Time for a roust. They should not be there, period.

Their projects are unsatisfactory, and they overcharge the US gov for their services. On top of that, they took over a number of military jobs - which in practice meant that someone trained as a cook was sent out to do something else (oftentimes without training for that, becoming the weakest link in the unit). Then, on top of all this, they are not even counted as part of the US presence there. Like every other private contracter (armed or not), their casualties and wounded are not part of the US record.

It would be rather ridiculous for our troops to shed blood for a company that was "in the red". They damn well better be turning a profit.

Me! Sometimes I actually kind of like Bush - just not as President. Cheney really does scare me - for all sorts of reasons. You might like this post on "<a href="http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/2006/03/01/tiny-tooth-horror/" rel="nofollow">tiny teeth</a>" - which is an unfair-superficial-judgment sort of thing, but kind of funny too.
