11 Feb - Sunday

I can see the train wreck approaching. The local Life Support Contractor providing: food, water, sewer, trash, cleaning and maintenance services, has yet to have the new workers, who will be servicing the 1500 Iraqi Soldiers, arrive to our area. That means in the next 36 hours over 50 people need to be hired and trained to accomplish all the support for the incoming soldiers. If past performance is any indication of future accomplishments - the Life Support Contractor will fail to meet his requirements. You can bet that I will be safely behind the cement walls of our compound when the bad news of no water or food is given to a mob of angry, hungry and smelly Iraqi Soldiers. I think I will let the Iraqi Logistics section handle this one.
