Oh, don't worry, they'll call back all those(us) that thought we were out for good and already discharged honorably(there are reports of it already happening) before they institute the civilian population draft. BTW, this posturing and the Iraq fiasco was a major contributor to me choosing to leave the military, amongst numerous others.

we don't know if this is planning a new theatre of battle, or merely a psychological battle...let's not borrow trouble yet

Stunning, ain't it?

No, what is stunning is how everyone, including the leading dems thought Iraq WAS a threat, and that it needed to be dealt with- until we got there and found that there was nothing there now (moved into Syria, I have no doubt)- now all of a sudden the adminstration lied and there was nothing worth going for. It's a convenient lapse of memory and a revision of history.

You say potato...

heehee ;)

Don't you worry about that. The Bushies have been working on a plan to make military enlistment an attractive alternative to extreme poverty for millions of Americans. Widen the gap between the haves and have-nots and, wonder of wonders, the recruitment pool increases.



We need the poor to
fight our wars. Those too stupid
to have rich daddies.

You go to war with the President you have.

Nope.

It was a leap of faith- that Tony Blair and the intelligence community might actually know more than they could let on, and that things really were as dire as Bush and his cronies were making them out to be. It was a lapse of judgement, and a mistake that I certainly will not make again.

So, if the draft is started up again, where might the rich boys (and perhaps girls) hide now? The National Guard is no longer a safe haven.

I am not even going to bother wasting my time pulling up the dozens of quotes of dems demanding action in Iraq, or the dem claims that Iraq had WMD's, those quotes were not leaps of faith. They were comments made by people who have access to the full info and briefings- which we are not.

I see a convenient change in opinion and attitude which is easily proven by the quotes easily found that contradict themselves for the purpose of being contrary to an administration they (and most of you) hate.
