A Democracy Now! report asks the question; if Senator Obama is elected president, what will he do with the nearly 140,000 Private Military Contractors (PMCs) currently in Iraq. Sen. Obama is known as having an aggresive stance against the use of Private Security Contractors (PSC) from such companies as Blackwater, Dyncorp, and a host of others who provide on the ground personal security details for workers and dignitaries, saying that they are not being held accountable for thier actions. However, according to the DN! news piece, Sen. Obama has not ruled out thier use to prevent a vacuum of power in Iraq. Should Sen. Obama have a stance at this point? With the time table of withdrawal still in the back of everyones mind and Iran looming in the back ground, what choices will be the wisest at this point?
