Zakheim was one of the authors of PNAC - The Project for the New American Century and presumed mastermind behind the 911 attacks.

Providing mercenaries is a popular and growing business. The mercenaries in Iraq work for Halliburton and other mega corporations as security personnel. They also do the dirty work in the prisons such as Abu Graib. Another kind of paid soldiers are the Somali War Lords supported by the US military and intelligence agencies. They have recently been routed in the Somali capital by the Islamic Courts Union, a militia that backs the imposition of Islamic law in Somalia The US government can stand back and claim that they have nothing to do with the War Lords and whatever nasty things they have been doing has nothing to do with them.

The next big game is "securing the Mexican border". The States' National Guard units are being sent along the border as a stop gap measure while hired solders are trained up to replace the Guards and take over. What they do is their own business. After all, they are only hired through contractors like Blackwater who proclaims: "We have established a global presence and provide training and tactical solutions for the 21st century," adding, "Our clients include federal law enforcement agencies, the Department of Defense, Department of State, and Department of Transportation, local and state entities from around the country, multinational corporations and friendly nations from all over the globe."

What they do not say is that any good American who wants to flee to Mexico when the shit hits the fan will not be able to leave the US because the corporate mercenaries have closed it off. Martial law! No escape.
The DynCorp will be there to assure no one goes anywhare. They have lots of experience and are not choosy in who they hire to do their dirty work. The only requirement is a "warm body".

I just played "Will the real Slim Shady" by Eminem. That will be the last time I hear his sweet voice until the REAL Marshall Mathers III comes back from the deep sleep that he must be in. I did the same when Madonna changed her name to Esther and went to Jerusalem to glorify the new Judeo/Christian Fundamentalism. I only replayed her music when she returned to the living! I have not much hope for U2's Bono.

Just remember, they are not dead but have given themselves over to an unearthly power. Not my style!
