Now the US is hiring mercenaries for Iraq
Edited on Wed Feb-25-04 11:42 AM by Mari333
So that Bu$h doesnt have to deal with the issue of dead soldiers on his re election bid anymore...anything to save face..
In the meantime, 549 dead soldiers, and thousands wounded and maimed, is too much ONE dead soldier was TOO MUCH for THIS...and people seem to forget we NEVER HAD TO GO THERE in the first place...oil wars
Im sick of hearing "we liberated Iraq" because we didnt and we arent and thats not the reason the POS Bu$h admin went in there and allowed the bloodbath of tens of thousands to occur
to keep the dead soldier count from going up, the US is hiring mercenaries but you wont see THAT in the US media blackout..

1. They always have. Last summer a regime henchman said about 10%

were commercials, and I imagine that number has gone up.

The Colombia operation has been staffed with all commercials from the beginning.
