"I'd just as soon have that looney tune we trained to kill 132 different ways hang around and do the dirty things that have to be done."

          There are those who would argue that the only reason "the dirty things have to be done" is because we want to rip-off somebody eles's resources and exploit them for our own pruposes.

          However, Wellington and Washington were both military commanders representing governments. Now we have corporations like Haliburton(sp?), who just moved its headquarters out of the US, hiring Blackwater to conduct military operations for its own purposes. In the case of Iraq and Hurricane Katrina, these forces are being used to generate profit for their employer(s) at the expense of the American taxpayer.
          And the American taxpayer has to wait four years in order to get rid of the buffoon who hired them in the first place.
