President Bush did no longer hire hundreds of mercenaries to combat in Iraq and the U. S. military should not be out of Iraq this autumn/wintry climate. the folk who're in Iraq are protection workers for inner maximum agencies.

Zero.
Stop being so delusional and read a REAL newspaper for crying out loud.... not those goofy ones where some moron takes a quote from a politician and then spins it to mean something completely off the mark just to CREATE a story. The garbage you're reading is of the same ilk as The National Enquirer.
I suppose you believe the government is hiding the existence of UFOs, too?

There are several of these entries in todays Answer section which indicates to me that we have political spin doctors campaigning in the room. There are security people in Iraq, I saw them. They guard people and buildings and make escort convoys of private contracts. I don't want to do that work as its for private businesses and we did not have enough troops for our duties as it was. They are paid pretty well and I guess that makes sense, if they get hit I don't know who takes care of them, whereas soldiers have a medical net and a disability system. They don't. I was offered work in that when I came home and discharged but went back to school instead. Your question is just political rhetoric meant to demonize the President and others. The private people are not combat units, you idiot, they are security personnel. I would not have wanted to spend my time there guarding a building or bodyguarding an Iraq PM so I was glad they were there.

Bush doesn't interview and hire mercenaries....Your view of war is founded on baseless conspiracy theories. Why don't you just say you are opposed to the war, and leave it at that?

They are not mercenaries they are peacekeepers,
and should be called this, they are fighting side
by side, with soldiers tasked with one of the most
important jobs in the world at the moment to fix
iraq, and get them out of a war situation to a situation of peace instead.........................................
