Right now, private security contractors are all over both of those nations. The pulled out most of the US troops and filled the place with mercenaries. The State Department is commanding over 5000 mercenaries.

Get real. Bill Clinton handed a strong nation over to W and Cheney - and they left us FUBAR! Now Rethuglicans whine that Obama isn't cleaning up their pile of elephant shit fast enough.
