I'll sleep fine. When it comes to the war in Iraq, not a damn thing suprises me.

So, the contractors don't have to do the same?

Have no idea what they have to do. You can't field what you dont' have and you can't grow an larger Army over night.

But if the cause is worthy, you can get a little help.

Well, all I am pointing out is you are saying the great country of America can't get an army trained and armed fast enough. But the contractor can wave a magic wand and have a fully armed and trained fighting force in a day.

If that's what I think it was, it's kind of low, just delete it.  Nash is wrong but play nice.

no but possibly we could have gotten well trained forces from other countryies had we not taken on a war that virtualy nobody in this world wanted short of our pressident and his fanboi's.

had he not started this mess our curent levels would have had been fine to handle the situation in Afganistan (possibly not even requiring reserves or guard).  

and it wasn't like these troops where needed overnight, he spent quite a while selling this war.

from the posts here and what I've read elsewahere the only ligitimate reason I see for the contractors(mercs) is either distanceing from the actions the take, or maybe the contractors are just more friends who need to make some money off this war (ok, to be fair the last part was pure speculation.  I have no proof of links between the owners of these companies and Bush/cheney/haliburton.  anybody know who does own these 'contractor' companies?)

I deleted it because I trust you but I really have no idea what you are talking about. Keep in mind I only peek in here 1/4-5 months now. Tell me what the deal is if you think it's appropriate to mention it.

The blackmail levera-er I mean mutual interests I share with FunkedUp lead me to have a great deal of trust in him.

By the way FunkedUp - if you are up for taking a contract as a 'Pornographic Movie Producer/Interrogator' in Iraq, let me know and I'll hook you up. Just don't tell Nash he'll be on the phone to Woodward and Bernstein in a heartbeat. :)

Nash had some medical problems a while back that were made public here.  I was worried that your quip might be linked with that, and that's why I posted.  Glad you deleted it, and I think Nash is in good health these days, so good times.

I had no idea. Nash - if you read the reply FunkedUp was talking about I had no idea. I was being a biatch not being a *****.
