Iraq War for Sale, the war profiteers

So watched this movie tonight called: Iraq War for Sale, the war profiteers by director: Robert Greenwald . Pretty good movie explaining how private contractors came into iraq and made a ton of cash by replacing services our own US military forced could do. Examples of these services are but not limited to: laundry, food preparation, truck transportation and securing perimeter. Some of the major players that where awarded most if not all contracts: Parsons (engineering & construction), DynCorp (police training), Transatlantic Traders (surveillance aircrafts I.e. Drones), Blackwater (soldiers on demand) and Halliburton (they received the rest of the logistics stuff). Blackwater wasn't bound by US military code of counduct so that went they could tourtchure and kill citizens of Iraq and never get in trouble, nice huh. Halliburton would charge $99 a bag of laundry to us the United States to provide a piss poor job while washing our troops laundry, $24 per 6 pack of soda which wasn't made in america...it was made in Iraq with arabic letters in all on the wrapper. I'm sad that our poor soldiers and the staff to all these contractors got screwed over so that the stock holders could make bank. Ill be adding another blog post on Halliburton and the rest of the contractors listed here soon.
