It’s nice to hear that she is pleased with the job of the folks in Afghanistan. No word though on if the 600 positions for monitoring contracts have been filled yet, and I am speculating that it has not happened because of the problems going on in Iraq. Fill the positions, and then get […]

Boy, that is 275 more jobs for contractors out there, not to mention the support crew required to run the thing, and that is great news. It will not be great news, if the service given sucks. So if anyone at DC headquarters is reading this, please do not cut corners on implementing this […]

Wow. What a catch, and I certainly hope they are able to get all the information they can out of this guy in order for us to get closer to Usama Bin Laden or Mullah Omar. We can only hope, and this is some outstanding war news. -Matt
