No, we are in Iraq for oil profits along with defense and industrial profits and political profit for Republicans. I don't know how the political profit will turn out but it seems to have worked (more or less) for Dubya. Yes, again I rely on the military whom you choose to not believe. Why you think that you know more than they do about the situation they are living in is beyond me. When they say that having to work alongside or even rescue(or be rescued by on occasion) people who do essentially the same job but who are paid much more and have better equipment is a morale issue, I believe them. I have more respect for people who are actually on the frontlines of this fiasco than you do. Why is that? No, I have a problem with the privatization of such an important public function. We should not be a country that outsources war. If we are going to start a war then we should be willing to fight that war. It is a question of character which the right wing consistently ignores. "And not all the security contractors are hired by the US government." That is a meaningless statement.
