Why use contractors in the Iraq war?

Question

I am starting to realize that part of the problem that we have in Iraq is that contractors such as Blackwater are corporations in business to make money. They are quick to pull the trigger which in turn will incite more fear and hatred into innocent Iraqi's. Such lawlessness will cause some Iraqi's to retaliate against coalition forces. The security gets worse and a renewal of contractors multi-millon dollar contracts are secured. If there is no war or the security gets better corporations like Blackwater lose money. I no longer wonder why the Iraqi prime minister tried to kick Blackwater out. Do you?

Answer 1

BLACKWATER == NEOCONS==ISRAELI ZIONISTS
The only entity that benefit from the continued chaos in Iraq. They are fueling the sectarian conflict by many means.

Such a chaos is no good ground for any business.

They are the one sabotaging all BUSINESS opportunities in Iraq, blowing oil pipelines if it has to.

That's no Business to me.

Answer 2

The whole war was predesigned to be privatized. That's why not enough troops. They knew right up front the deal was to send in the mercs. Mercs being not subject to Iraqi law or the quaint old Geneva Convention.

At this point there are far more of them than regular troops, between them and the subcontractors to Halliburton who are the same sort of mercs doing double duty as drivers and maintanance. My guess is eventually all the US troops could leave and the real heart of the operation, put in place by the Bush Oil interests to control the oil flow and immediate politics of the rgion, will remain... of course with control of whatever military base facilities and infrastructure left behind.

At that point the US public will figure the war is over, but the Iraqis will simply have been occupied by the forces that came in on the wake of our tax dollar supported invasion. And these guys were the real reason for the whole operation; using the might of our army to set up a new kind of puppet regime.

Contractors used in the mercenaries capacities are a small pert of the private concerns. My Grand son is an Electrician, in fact a master electrician, my brother-in-law and his brother were both Iron workers along with their cousins. My cousin was a heavy equipment operator, they were all former soldiers and went back into the private factors . My grandson makes just as much now as he would in the civilian life but, he feels he's doing a duty.

We want him home, we don't give a damn if the Iraqis live by candle light or flash light, we just want him home.

He has to count on the mercenaries to protect them while working, they are under their care. He was over there in the first wave with the Air Force and landed in Basra, he put in a year, now he's been there for three years in the civilian sector.

They're not all mercenaries.

Don't look down on these men, they all did they're duty and went back. they don't have to be there, there in it know for the money they didn't get to start with. They're all former Ranger, Special Forces, Seal, etc. They're specially trained Master Electricians, plumbers, carpenter, etc. they are the ones that are making things work under the most dangerous conditions. Before you put them down, do you think you could work under these conditions? do you think you could go over there and work while being shot at, having your vehicle blown up every night, wondering when your going to be in it?

Unless you could walk in their shoes, don't carp.

There are exceedingly intelligent people who have faith this excuse for an American president has distinctive issues he has hidden from the voters. issues no conservative might have in no way gotten sway with. His college transcripts, who paid for his college, his pretend start certificates, why he lost his regulation license, his ties to invoice Ayers, the undeniable fact that he's a muslim,etc. He has been given a bypass that no different president in present day background has been given. This guy is an embarassment to the place of work. there are a number of qualified black adult men who might do an magnificent interest regrettably for us we've some ignorant people who voted for BO.

They're called "carpet baggers". They go in to do the work that's disrupted by the war. They demand and get high wages because it's dangerous. They build bridges, water plants, roads, electrical plants... And yes, some of them are crooks. But look at the WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!
