The liberal media will do almost anything to hide the truth about the way that US Security Contractors have to ‘negotiate’ their way through Iraq. We found this little gem buried in the Washington Post:
“Contractor evacuations began Wednesday, if not earlier, said Ginger Cruz, CEO of Mantid International LLC, a consulting firm that works with numerous companies in Iraq…
“On Thursday, the electronics giant Siemens was working to get about 50 employees out of Baiji, Cruz said. It was not clear exactly what their operation there entails, but the company announced in February that it had signed a deal to provide service and maintenance to a large gas power plant there. The oil refinery city is some 130 miles north of Baghdad.
“Cruz said that her firm has recommended using teams of U.S. and Kurdish private security firms to evacuate the contractors because the semi-autonomous Kurdish government in Iraq’s north had sent its security forces known as pesh merga to take control of the city of Kirkuk after Iraqi security forces abandoned their bases and equipment and fled. The Kurdish forces now control roads in the region.
“Negotiations were ongoing to secure the safety of foreign personnel in Baiji and to get them out of harm’s way. U.S. security contractors involved reported that they engaged in gunfire to get through the region, Cruz said.”
This is another reason why I stay alert, and keep my eyes open. We have to know what is happening with our citizens no matter where in the world they happen to be working.
“O” cut them for bait.... TOO
The jug-eared POS doesn’t care... according to that diseased “mind”, they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
“O” is truly an unprincipled, selfish, arrogant GD SOB!
Every time events place a golden opportunity into his hands to succeed and be a leader and a real MAN... he squanders it!
He can’t help himself... he’s TOO SMALL and narrow to do anything else... I am certain he couldn’t even tell you why he fails!
Amazing
There WILL BE US PRISONERS TAKEN during this Iraq fiasco.
Then what???
They are/were there to prepare the base for the F-16s Odumbo was sending to the IAF. Check this sh!t out:

What is the definition of total despair? Waiting for Obama to come save your azz in the Green Zone.

Maybe that's because Siemens is not a US contractor.
