Reply #4: Add unemployed, angry civilians into the mix

and chimp has screwed people living there even more than we could probably imagine.

Found this on a military blog...locals begging to be paid/be employed to help clean up their cities. Chimpass needs to pry some of the $$$ away from his cronies' companies and give these guys a job to keep them out of trouble.

On my microscopic level, we are able to get out on the ground and talk to the people and learn. We spoke with some men who served in Saddam's army and now are unemployed. They were concerned why they have to be unemployed when there is litter in the streets and poor sanitation and electricity. They are willing to work and there is work to be done in the towns. The interpreter explained to us about the mistrust and low-level corruption. "It's like mafia," he said. In talking to some others citizens, we were told that we (US/Coalition Forces) are not needed here in this town; they trust their local security forces (the Iraqi police and National Guard), but they are happy to see us and see that we care.
