Contractors? Who\'s in charge in Iraq
This whole business of contractors is confusing...
Why are so many in Iraq?...
Why do they outnumber the Military soldiers...
I hear that there are 180,000 Contractors including the "Wild West" Blackwater contractors...
And there is 160,000 military soldiers under the Pentagon's command...
We only hear about the 160K military soldiers leaving Iraq?
What are the "contractors" going to do?
Who control's them The President?, The Pentagon/DOD or the CIA/NSA Intelligence operatives...
President's can not authorize and fund "private armies" to attack or maintain control of a foreign nation...
The Pentagon/DoD and the CIA/NSA type intelligence have various leeway in this area but it is very "grey"...
Everyone should remember it is Federal Tax dollars funding these "Iraq" operation...
I don't remember Congress declaring WAR on Iraq...
I think these "contractors" roles should be evaluated and sent home...
Because I think only the States of the Union can have PRIVATE and/or STATE MILITIAS...
And if anyone else such as a corporation or foreign government is funding these private contractors...
It is a serious violation of The United States Constitution, International Law and Treaties...
Someone needs to get a handle on the situation now...
Never mind the "Iraq Embassy" project and how all this fits probably together...
Just my opinion...
