I just got back from a little trip to Iraq (3 days) and I can see nothing good going on there. Electricity is only available for a short time each day and the temp; is getting worse every day, I dont know how these people live there.
It is so easy for those that want to do harm to walk the streets, dress a man with a weapon or bomb in female garb and he is almost invisable.
The only thing they got going for them is oil and the pipeline is so easy to blow up I dont know how they ever keep it going.
Why was I there? I have a device that will detect intruders into a area 5 miles long and extremely directional I gave one to the Ministery of Oil and installed it on the line in the North if it works out they will be purchasing them at the cost of manifacture. One big contractor over there is extremely mad at me for going around them and not allowing them to even see the device.
One thing I saw over there was the dire state of the Iraqi security forces or police department whatever you decide to call them. Uniforms that are substandard by any standards, most I saw did not even have a decent pair of shoes, some with thongs, some with those cheap red canvas shoes, in conversation with some of them they are not happy about things like this and it is not because they prefer thongs or tennis shoes, they would like to have there headquarters outside of the city where they can protect themself and have small substations in the city to work directly from, these people are smart and willing to do the job but are not equipped to perform activities that are necessary to protect the people or even themself for that matter.
It is a very dangerous place and I dont think things are getting better, anarchy is setting in. The security team I traveled with was scared to death but did their job anyway, true hero's in my opinion, they are not happy about american workers coming in and taking the jobs that they could do such as long haul truck driving, power line repair and several other thing that they be hired to do, this is not very good for relations with outside workers. Well I could go on and on but will end the post here.
Bleep
