If nothing else comes from this mis-adventure in Iraq it ought to at least put down fears of martial law. We have 160,000 troops in Iraq and we still can't keep order without hiring mercs.BAGHDAD - An Iraqi official conceded Sunday that Blackwater USA's exit would create a "security vacuum" in Baghdad and said the U.S. and Iraq were instead working on revamping regulations governing private security companies after a deadly shooting of civilians.
Explains Tahseen Sheikhly, a civilian spokesman for the seven-month-old offensive against militants in Baghdad (yes! the seven-month-old offensive against militants in Baghdad has a spokesman!)...
"If we expel this company immediately there will be a security vacuum that will demand pulling some troops off the battlefield. This will create a security imbalance in securing Baghdad."
OK, sorta ran out of things to say there toward the end. But still. Two sentences in a row, that's pretty good. Besides, we don't care what you say as long as you spell it right.
