		<description>I knew that, TexasFred :)  There are so many kinds and types of contractors out there.  Of course, being armed is yet another reason to stay sober and drug free...</description>

		<description>I want frank talk about immigrant-
I want to elimate anchor babies. If one or both parents are illegal then the baby is illegal. Yes, punish the child for the sins of the parents. No money, education, scholarship or medical taxpayer money should go towards them.
No more &quot;push for spanish&quot; or any other language. No more instructions, signs, atms etc in any other language then english. It is time to make it more difficult to be here illegally. If you are legal you must learn to speak and read the language, as my grandparents. How dare Mexico or any country tell us we should not secure our borders or make laws to decrease the population of immigrants.Yes, I want to see their papers!
I assure YOU the work that people claim will not be done here in the States if we deported the illegals will get done. PLEASE!! That is what the south said if slavery was make illegal, who would pick the cotton and the economy of the south would be hurt?

		<description>Rampant steroid use among contractors?  Possibly.  I&#039;m no expert, but in the experience we had in 04 - 05 the company Mark worked for was pretty strict on alcohol, drugs, etc.  There&#039;s something about rolling an 80,000 lb rig through Fallujah that kinda makes you want to stay sober...  I&#039;m sure the same can be said here.  
Anyway, like BobF said, what does that have to do with this, other than they couldn&#039;t dig up any more dirt and make our soldiers and contractors look bad and the enemy good in the public&#039;s eye?
As for the rest of the post (and this section, too...) great job analyzing the nuttiness going on in the world.  You&#039;re gonna give O&#039;Reilly a run for his money :)</description>

		<description>Ok, help me to understand on this Blackwater thing.   What does some of these guards taking steroids have to do with Iraqi civilians getting shot in a crossfire with terrorists?   What does these guards abandoning their posts have to do with this also.   Maybe the reason no diplomats were killed was because the guards abandoned their posts when the sensed something wasn&#039;t right.  

This is a private company so why should they have to continually give drug testing?  

It&#039;s amazing how US lawyers made their way though Baghdad streets to find these &quot;victims&quot;.   I wondered who the lawyers used for bodyguards?  

You hire these guys to protect your butt and send them into a hell-hole of a country where they&#039;re constantly under attack and you want them to follow the ridiculous ROE&#039;s that are getting our troops killed on a daily basis.   Crap like this just totally pisses me off.</description>
