BUSH PROPOSES TO OUTSOURCE US MILITARY
WASHINGTON: Frustrated by the lack of progress in Iraq, US President George W. Bush proposed today to outsource the US military presence in Iraq.
"Outsourcing is ultimately very good for our economy," Bush said in a press conference in front of the Indian Embassy.
"If other people can do the job cheaper and better than we can, then we can sit back in the lap of luxury and let the others sweat," Bush said.
The US military outsourcing plan vaguely resembles original proposals to install a UN peace-keeping force in Iraq.
"We are not suggesting there is any role for international organizations like the United Nations," Bush said. "Instead, we are going to deploy forces from other countries on a business-like basis."
The outsourcing plan, developed by Halliburton, involves hiring the militaries of several Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. Troops from India, Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt will be hired and stationed in Iraq.
US troops would be removed from Iraq no later than July 4th to allow for large homecoming parades and Bush For President campaign events
