US arming Iraqi insurgents through contractor

[susano]

He had thought he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers — all of them being sold for cash, no receipts necessary, he said. He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees.

The seller, he claimed, was the Iraqi-owned company he worked for, Shield Group Security Co.

Who cares about the Iraqi "insurgents." If we got the hell out of there we wouldn't have to worry about "insurgents" attacking us would we? The true crime we should care about in this story is that certainly there are Americans and American companies involved in this fraud that is going on, and that they are bilking us taxpayers. It's one thing to be in the military and get sent to Iraq, it's another to accept a contractor job for 150k or whatever it is they are paying them. Why the hell do any Americans deserve these jobs? People who accept them are like thieving illegal aliens. The Iraqis should be getting these jobs. It's their country. They are poor and hungry. Widows are turning to prostitution to support their children and we are paying Americans 150k to go over there and do jobs that they could afford to pay 20 Iraqis to do instead if we are going to pay anyone at all?
