To avoid putting American citizens’ boots on the ground against ISIS in the Middle East, private contractors are being hired by the US.  A trial of private contractors who were charged with kiling Iraqi citizens in Baghdad in 2007 has just come to an end.  One man was charged with murder and three others with manslaughter.  Private contractors are often reckless and unaccountable.

Ths cost to the US is estimated at $8.3 million a day.  That comes to $580 million between August 8 and October 16.

Is it time for the US to back out of the MIddle East?  The US does not need Middle Eastern oil any more.
