#1 It's a bit of a giggle. The State Department is just beginning to realize how much they have been expecting the US Military to provide support, now they will have to pay (those nasty) Contractors to provide the support.

And they are still whining about the present use by our Military of Contractors.

Conflicted?

#2 I'd say typical left-wing, but that might be a generalization. I'd stack it along the lines of whining about the military and trying to beat them down while enjoying the freedom it provides. Some thing along the lines of, "biting that which ... frees you." Or in this case allows you to be free. Contradiction I think is part of their contract, so long as it allows them to complain about things they need, yet hate and view as evil...but can't do with out.
