Defense Department Extends Combat Tours For 2,200 Marines By 30 Days After Promising For Months To Bring Them Home On Time

The administrations interest in Iran & nukes is a smoke screen for their real agenda. Their true interests are Cheney''s energy policy.

Condi Rice is a former board member of Chevron Oil and mouthpiece for the administrations energy policy. Part of that policy is the The Caspian Sea pipeline
which will go through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,Pakistan, to the gulf of Oman and on to India & Nepal.It will be cheaper to construct if they can go through Iran, but regime change is necessary first.

The Caspian sea area holds one third of the world''s oil and south asian oil markets are their target market. This pipeline was also the reason for the Afghanistan invasion.

Cheney''s energy policy is the root of all these middle east wars, a federal court judge sealed all documents associated with it for the administration, and the national media are not allowed to discuss or comment on it.

More troops are needed in Afghanistan to protect the contractors building the pipeline. Iran stands in the way of total control of global oil now with sales of oil to China''s Sinopec Oil,deal signed Dec.10,2007. Months ago China said there would be dire consequences if the US interfered with there direct oil contracts with Iran.

Both parties in the Congress should be very concerned with China''s growing war machine and need for oil. They are the real threat & the administration doesn''t care they are in control ! All that matters to them is BIG OIL and their corporate stock portfolios

At this point, anyone still believing anything from Bush''s government has only themselves to blame.

[watcher269-2009]

YES! Lets abuse our troops more for a Thankless Administration that didn''t support the New G.I. Bill.

This administration has done more to hurt the moral of the American Military then any US President in History.

Yes - Bush and Cheney are single handedly making America the most hated country on the planet.

At least we are first in something - Eh?

Also, I hear all this talk about the Left and the Right - that the Left is Bad and the Right is Good - well lets look at this a moment.

The left side of the human body is controlled by the right side of the brain and the Right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the Brain - So, one has to conclude that "Left is RIGHT and Right is WRONG"

So Republicanism is WRONG!

Thank God America is turning away from the Republican Party! The Election of John McCain would MOST certainly result in MORE of this... MUCH MORE! These men, after all, ARE American''s and do NOT deserve what has been served on them... NOT AT ALL! Sieg Heil McSame

[mcvet]

These men will stay as long as you ask them to. America''''s finest.

Oh YES! They are after all, United States Marines. The Question is why should we allow Criminals who LIED to put them into this position, CRIMINALS who commit acts of FRAUD... CRIMINALS who ARE responsible for their sacrifice being necessary. Why should those Criminals be allowed to just go on about their business in THIS nation? The FRAUD that IS Iraq is the REASON this is NECESSARY and there are TWO Criminals that MUST be brought to JUSTICE for what is happening or we as a nation can NEVER really be the same again.... SIEG HEIL BUSH!!

Its time for you to volunteer and fight your own Christian Jihad against Evil Islam poised to destroy Jesus. Sheesh.

[scoleridge-2009]

A blind monkey pushing a yes/no button makes better decisions than this Bushie administration. Thank God, the Bushies were not in charge during WWII!

And the extermination continues............

More than a year and half before 911 the CIA Special Activities Division was conducting operations in Afghanistan, trying to topple the Taliban regime for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas Pipelines...........We now call such activities terror.



February 12, 1998 John J. Maresca vp of UNOCAL oil appeared before a House sub committee. The purpose of the meeting was to gain support for exploitation of oil & natural gas resources, for the rights purchased by BIG OIL in the Caspian Sea area.

In his testimony he stated, "The key question is how the energy resources of Central Asia can be made available to nearby Asian markets ". The exploitation option stated : "One obvious route south would cross Iran, but this is foreclosed by American companies because of U.S. sanctions (with Iran ) . The only other possible route is across Afghanistan, which of course has it''''''''''''''''s own unique challenges. " He continued saying, " the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments,lenders (world monitary fund & world bank ) ,and our company "......"

UNOCAL and other American companies are prepared to undertake the job ".

[stn_sage]

YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. Same ''old song''! Promise the men doing the fighting one thing, and then ''stab them in the back'' and do ANOTHER! THIS, surprises no one!

This is just one more fine example of how Bush and the RepubliCONS mistreat, abuse, and dishonor American military members who defend this government''s misguided policies! Shame on you, Bush and company! You stink!

[babooph]

At least we were able to steal the nationalised Iraqi oil for the big private companies-trillions in middle class taxpayer costs&5000 or so dead,but our new low fuel price has clearly made it worthwhile.Lucky we had some real brains running things!

[ubrew12]

Summer 2009:
Gov''t extends financial commitments into the Iraq and Afghan wars into $4 trillion, after saying they wouldn''t.

It''s tempting to say that war is the ''slippery slope'', but by now that would be beside the point.

[gce65]

Here we go again. I guess it''s not such a surprise coming from this White House. They''ll say whatever they need to at the moment--shorten deployments, longer rotation times at home in between--as soon as they take enough heat from the public. but they''ll turn around and "amend" that anytime it suits them. Get rid of Bush! What a fu(king bum!

[tbweb]

Mr BUSH time to bring back the draft!!

Posted by underdogus01 at 09:53 PM : Jul 03, 2008,,,

If the Draft does return I would prefer if it were administered by an outside neutral agency and not DOD, with a process every American would be comfortable with, the rich, powerful and influential may manipulate the Draft System and if that happens it will be unfair and not produce the desired results!!

[underdogus01]

Mr BUSH time to bring back the draft!!

SgtRDS-E4..have respect for our president,and stick to your homosexual agenda b.astard!

[sgtrds-e4]

Afghanistan was the right war at the right place at the right time. Now however it''s the neglected war with stop-lost troops. Bush instead used this war as a jumping off point to invade, conquer and suppress Iraq for the profit of his buddies in the war contracting business. The blood of every soldier that has died and that will die is on his and Cheney''s hands and they''ll never be able to wash it off. They''ll go down in history as mass-murderers and war criminals.
