How many mercenaries do w* and co have in Iraq and Afghanistan now

[madokie]

if the number is in the 10's of thousands as I have read what am I to believe that none of them are being killed or wounded. I never see any mention of them in our local paper either except of course the four who bushco* leveled fallujah in retaliation for early on. My question though is would the disconnect between the numbers of US Troops told to us that are killed and wounded there and the numbers the Iraqi are seeing happening with their own eyes, because when they see US it doesn't matter to them if it is US Army, Marines, National Guard or contractors all they see is US, don't ya think maybe that might be embolden them to some extent to keep on fighting, besides of course the fact that we are brutal occupiers. my suspicion is that they are seeing a lot more 'American' being killed than what we are being told. I'm beginning to believe that is one of the reasons for bushco* having so big of a mercenary army there in the first place, to keep the KIA's numbers down, you notice I only said one of the reasons cause I believe they have many reasons for using mercenaries, there's lots of under handed shit going on over there every day and that if a lot of it was to come to light it'll be katie bar the door for them and they know it

anyways I'm prolly not making any sense here and I'm trying so hard to too
peace to all
