Does anyone know if the money for the contractors in Iraq...

[butterfly77]

is separate from the funding given for the troops? Is that involved in the budget also? If it is can congress stop their funding and what do you think would be the consequences if they did?

1. They have an obligation to stop funding for them over there and here at home.

I will not stop calling my representatives and demanding that the funding be stopped. We should all do likewise. I don't give a damn what happens to them either. Perhaps they can use that $900.00/day to arrange safe transportation out of there as they shouldn't be there in the first place!

2. I know that if the mercenary gets paid $600 a day, BW gets paid $5200 for providing him.

3. Do you know if it is part of the funding bills, that Bush..

keeps harping about?

4. I don't know where else it would come from

That would be my next move stripping out all contractor money, the mercs would be out of Iraq so fast chimps* head would spend.

6. I would like to know what they are thinking up there...

in congress, they should be coming up with everything possible to stop the Emperor...

5. I believe it goes through the Defense Dept
