Blackwater Founder Say They Can Stop Is.

Let the mercs do it.

When the ISIS ISIL forces are eliminated, the Kurds and Iraqis will take over their airstrips, and they can then do the 'March of the 10000' to the sea. Shades of Xenophone (look it up, EC). You could not write this as fiction.

The post-Bush Middle East becomes even weirder.

You mean Xenophon.....who's military accomplishments consist of a fighting retreat of hundreds of miles through hostile territory after the defeat of the host army. So in this case having hardened mercenaries didn't really help achieve victory for their employers.

Has Iraq offered to pay them?

Well, as long as they don't have Obama breathing down their necks, why not? It's made up of seasoned vets who know the ropes and won't have those stupid political rules to slow them down.

Exactly. Xenophon is correct. I changed it.

I read Xenophon's book "Anabasis" three or four times, a classic military treatise.
