WARNING: THIS HOW ARE WARS ARE BEING FOUGHT NOW~~MONIES FOR THIS COMES OUT OF DEFENSE APPORTIONS..ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET? Among those leaving for safety: U.S. contractors at a military base in Balad, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) north of Baghdad. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said American citizens working on contracts supporting U.S. military sales to Iraq are being temporarily relocated by their companies due to security concerns. Their evacuation began early Thursday morning and is ongoing, a U.S. official said. Most of the contractors, some of whom are not American, are being flown out of Iraq -- not to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as an official said earlier. This effort, which does not involve military aircraft, is being conducted by their companies with the U.S. governments help, a senior State Department official said.cnn/2014/06/12/world/meast/iraq-violence/
