    “The Humanist” said he wants to hire them to take over his own country yesterday.

    The Democrats will probably hire them for Security at the nominating convention.

    If they hadn’t shrunk down the army so much, they wouldn’t be contracting out to security firms.

    They provide security for Oil Companies and other businesses/industry that operate overseas…

    And think about that for a minute – these private security firms are equally unsupervised and still answer to no one, other than their clients. Thus, what other folks in the rest of the world think about the US and our actions is often based upon what such Security Firms do. And though they do not make not “official” US actions, we, as a nation, bear the consequences….

    They’ll think of something. Trust me. They always do.

    You think the world will be safe for travelling diplomats after Iraq finally calms down? Noooooo. There are other volitile areas the politicians and officials will need to go inspect in person. Besides, they already do contract work for special forces groups and will probably continue to do so.

    I don’t think any of those guys intend this to be a long term thing. There was a need and they filled it. You certainly can’t retire at it.

    I hope and pray that one day they will be able to police the streets of the United States.

    Which every country deserves to have them put there. That’s who.

    Hopefully they will be sent to Iran next.
