1. Like the British getting Hessians to fight their war with the colonies.
Pretty much says everything you need to know about the morality of our war for oil.

2. Thanks For Passing on this Information...!
Every empire will always require a constant fresh supply of
corporate contracted mercenaries paid up to
$1000(US) a day.

3. This takes "out-sourcing" to a whole new level!
"The US is hiring mercenaries in Chile to replace its soldiers on security duty in Iraq."

4. Also interesting that these trained mercenaries can protect Bremer, but
can't seem to protect a few buildings during a religious celebration.
In fact, not any GOP military chiefs have suffered so much as a scratch.


I remember when Rummy was in South America making these deals to get soldiers. They are being trained for private purposes with tax dollars. These big corporations also hire their own security but don't have the rule of international or national laws behind them.
They are essentially hired guns and assassins like the group of "rebels" who took over Haiti at Bushco's behest.
