departments raise fresh questions about the privatisation of the
war effort and the Government's capacity to carry out military and
reconstruction campaigns. More than 180,000 civilians —
Americans, Iraqis and others — are working in Iraq under US
contracts. Including the recent troop surge, 160,000 soldiers and a
few thousand civilian government employees are stationed in the
country.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D5538696-E204-4408-A30C-5D342531B996/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
