93. Why should we ever know the number of private mercenaries the US government is hiring?
It's not like they're not an international band of thugs with no accountability to the US. Welcome to the beginning of a new onslaught of privatization of war. Excuse me, have to wash the vomit off my keyboard.
Oh and the kicker? Obama has done more to stop the antiwar movement than Bush ever could. Just rebrand it, make up a bunch of bullshit, have the news declare victory. The antiwar movement was crushed during 2008 because everyone stopped believing in themselves and starting pinning their hopes on this guy. Now we have the next step in pacifying the American people while expanding empire abroad.
It's grotesque. It's an occupation. And now it's permanent. (Of course until the Iraqis rise up and blow the shit out of us and we have to send troops back--after the midterms of course...)
