The little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, "Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die." The little boy answered "No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you'll bite me and I'll die." The rattlesnake said, "No, I promise. I won't bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain." The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.
They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, "Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old." The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, "Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now." The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.
He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. "Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."
At least in this case Obama did no less than he promised, out by the summer of 2010 with a 50,000 man security force left. That's what he promised in 2008. He was clearly a bit of a hawk even on the campaign trail, so I can't really fault him for anything here. I knew he was a rattlesnake when I voted for him. Better a rattlesnake than an Ebola infected, rabid hyena.
Look. That is the Frog and Scorpion story, which goes back in Aryan myth to surface in Sanskrit stories attributed to Bidpai, and the poetry of Jallaludin Rumi.
No diff. Dudes who follow any orders and carry weapons.
Oh wait, there is a diff...."security contractors" *cost more*. Added bonus for the NWO crowd, they are more likely than not to have come from paramilitary deathsquads (meaning even less resistance to certain orders), and they also aren't subject to the same alleged rules of war and rules of being in "service". Plus, being "civilian", they don't count! It's like they aren't there! Even though they are, they aren't
