The US State Department is considering banning the use of private security guards in Iraq, though one scheme would involve just hiring the guards as US government employees. The privatization of war fighting, a major step back to the 18th century favored by the Bush administration as a way of throwing money to its friends, has the disadvantage of roiling diplomatic relations.

Bush's 'friends' won't allow him to do any such thing, imo. It's way too lucrative to allow politics to get in the way of the cash convoys.
Hell, they've shot Presidents for less.
