I like the framed picture of the three stooges from their full length feature "We Came, We Saw, We Fucked Up", (White House Productions, 2003).

I'm somewhat surprised they started work on this feature, produced almost entirely on location in Iraq, in the first place; I guess the budget overrun could be put down to the lack of an ending to the script when it was begun, but you'd think that might have been taken care of in advance rather than taking a "lets see how it pans out" approach.

And I'm very surprised to see it being offered by this particular corporation too. But then I guess there is a good business case for believing many in the US will buy anything.

No actually the founders just renamed Blackwater. But don't worry...They'r still the same pack of overpaid cut throat mercenaries they always were. Putting the front sight on everybody and their brother, their sister and their dog, while causing unreal headaches for every American officer higher than the rank of major by tear ass'ing around war zones and just generally pirating the weath of third world countries.

Contractors were a bad idea back when Bremer was Robber Baron in Iraq and they are still a shitty Idea today. It was a silly manifestation of the Yale tie'd true believers that thought they could fight a war on the cheap. Like Something out of a Tom Clancy novel.
