Should the federal government direct the Pentagon to create the framework for the privitization of military operations in Iraq?
Specifically, the Pentagon would compose a broad scope of work -- identifying where troops are needed as well as equipment and support requirements.
The contract would then go out to bid and corporations would bid for the contract -- or pieces of the contract.
U.S. troops would then rotate out as privately employed mercanaries would move in. The corporation that holds the contract would be required to report progress and intelligence to the Pentagon.
This is a unique conflict that requires unique ideas.
(Side note: If the private army ever needed assistance (such as air support, it would be provided to them ... for a price, of course).
