[Felix The Assassin]

Chewy, I have 25 years experience with Uncle Sam, 23 in uniform and two as a contractor. The secrets I know would horrify you. The visions I have engrained in my own crainium housing group would make you lay awake at night. But what it boils down to is the person on the ground. He is the one that makes or breaks the vault. Just like the police officer that patrols your hood, If he's a bad cop what happens? If he's a good cop what happens?

The point is, the contract within itself will dictate who does what. Now, your friend Bill Clinton was working hand in hand with DPW to get this contract secured. Why do you think that is?

TL really hammered it out in his earlier post, people of America that cannot see outside the box have a real prejudice, and especially if it's anything relaetd to the Middle East.

Our secrets are well protetced. And whoever is at the money end of the spectrum, has little to do with WHO the grounds keeper is. This is all based upon the contract writing, and execution. With that said, the same Tommy the security man will be the SAME Tommy the security man. But most importantly, the same U.S. Coast Guard vessel that patrols our waters today, will be the same tomorrow.

What you don't know! How many foreign countries have sizeable contracts within the borders of the US of A! I know what a foreign contract has to go through. I also know what an in house contract bid looks like as well. They ain't exactly the same!

I'll close with this secret as well. You also don't know where our spy sattellites, spy planes (oops), spy agents, and nuclear submarines are deployed. Any of which, could bring more than just an end to terrorism within itself. All of this you say? I say this, price to contract ratio, current view, current politics, and current media hype all equal "calculated risk!"
