Either way, there'll be very few motivated warriors in their tank. The US always ends up fighting against those they hire and arm to do their bidding.

Hey didya see the new WAR they have started? WAR on PORN to be added to:

WAR on POVERTY
WAR on DRUGS
WAR on TERROR
WAR on AIDS
WAR on CRIME

I just wonder what is wrong with the USA. Dem or Rep, it's always WAR, and never ending ones at that.

Pretty soon the world is going to get a bit tired of this old wheezing warmonger state.

MSI,

Re: Either that, or do what they're starting to do in Iraq and hire unlimited numbers of foreign mercenaries.

Hmmm, I think that the potential for hiring foreign mercenaries will be limited to what is needed for the purposes of media lies about "coalition involvement".

The scenario that I think is playing out is to contract out the nasty stuff to Bush campaign donors where "plausible deniability" is needed, or to bring on the rent-a-cops.

DynCorp, Wackenhut, Carlyle, ICI of Oregon, Vinnell are among the contractors I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm wondering if we can come up with a more complete list?

Perhaps we'll find a few here:
