Frontline was awesome Tuesday night.
It was about the "Private Warriors", aka mercenaries, in Iraq. It's available on the PBS website.:applause:

Yup. Frontline is great.

Frontline "Private Warriors" which was broadcast beginning the week of June 20, 2005 (and at other times) informs us about our U.S.A. military "outsourcing" its duties to private contractors who are not held to the same standard or duty as is our U.S.A. military. Shocking? No. However, who the hell EVER thunk that private corporate America is legally responsible for the same duties as the U.S.A. military? Nobody with a viable brain.

So the next query is: Why the f*ck did the Bush Administration contract out all its duties as it's done to private contractors? Huh?

Geezuz. Talk about a bottle of ineptitute gone awry = George Walker Bush as Commander-in-Chief of the military he is leading down the "yellow brick road" of quagmire. (And that's putting it mildly.)
