It's the oil companies interests this BS is about. How many mercenaries are in Iraq already? They make more money than our soldiers. Let them fight this BS war over oil.

2. That's what they've been doing!
Oh, you mean with their own money.

Frankly, I think we need to prevent them from hiring their own army.

3. Without government sponsors, privateers are mere pirates.
They need their Letters of Marque from their wholly-owned subsidiary (the White House) to give them the facade of legitimacy.

4. They did.
Only thing is they used our tax dollars to do it.

Like a Foreign legion sort of force.
