That was part of the industrialists' argument against slavery, that it was inefficient, too costly. <BR/><BR/>The best line is possibly, "the U.S. military has the ability to terminate contracts and keep people off of bases."<BR/><BR/>I.e., the military can start cleaning up after itself and doing KP if it wants to support human rights. Fat chance. <BR/><BR/>That's like expecting the US industries using those 11 million "illegal aliens" to call Homeland Security to expel them, and hire American citizens instead. Not gonna happen.<BR/><BR/>That's why you have outside parties inspecting these things if you want change, which this crowd doesn't, duh.<BR/><BR/>Best individual award for chutzpah goes to Schumtz, who stonewalled for a year, and then went to work for Blackwater. <BR/><BR/>This bunch makes Grant's cronies look like Temperence milquetoasts.SandSkeptichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343034672041889528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463907.post-1145874807110542092006-04-24T06:33:00.000-04:002006-04-24T06:33:00.000-04:00Dear Professor ColeI trust you picked up on Michea...Dear Professor Cole<BR/><BR/>I trust you picked up on Micheal Ancram MP a former shadow Foreign Secretary talking sense about UK troops in Iraq.Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986680100425378810noreply@blogger.com
