As you read here over the weekend, Blackwater Security which is best known for its mercenaries fighting in Iraq, is actively patrolling the streets of New Orleans. So yesterday Bush said "we've got plenty of troops to do both" and "It is preposterous to claim that the engagement in Iraq meant there weren't enough troops" so perhaps he can explain this confusing situation. Don't tell me it's yet another case of the man in the bubble that we've witnessed all too often.
I would really like someone in the MSM to ask Bush why we need to have mercenaries working for the federal and state government if the US is not over extended in Iraq. Please explain this to me because I must be missing something.
