And most of the projects they were hired to do were either never completed, done so shoddily that they will ahve to be redone or, in the case of Blackwater, caused the deaths of good AMerican soldiers becasue of the ill-will engendered by these contractors.

I think most Americans know now that as someone much more clever than me said, "we won the war and Lost the peace." And Bush and Company keep the contractors in money while raping the AMerican people.

And regarding Afghanistan. If we kept our eye on the ball and just kept the war in Afghanistan going we might have been successful. But we gutted the forced in that country to occupy Iraq. Now Afghanistan is falling back into Taliban control.

It is a sad state of affairs.
we will never know the real oosts or facts about this or anything else til a change is made in november
