Combat Aviation Unit Heading To Iraq To Support Surge; Saddam Ally Dead

It will require between one and two million additional US forces to effectively implement a military dictatorship in Iraq. Or, to impose a US puppet government on Iraqis. And, even at those levels, the insurgency will continue for as long as US combat forces occupy Iraq.

If Congress is not going to cut off funding, they need to implement the military draft so all 18 to 24 year olds can be called up to serve in the occupation army.

Sending in cannon fodder to be picked off by snipers and other small or one man units is pure folly. And will not lead to anything other than the waste of even more lives on all sides.

If Bush & his bootlickers want to "stay the course," "support our troops" and "win" in Iraq, the ONLY option is to increase troop levels far beyond the current number. And the only way to achieve those numbers is by a military draft.

It is time to put up or shut up.

Either begin drafting all 18 to 24 year olds, including GOP donors' & politicians' kids, or remove US combat forces from Iraq.

I want to know when we are going to start using the word ESCALATION. It is starting to get bigger than a surge.

If the reports we have been getting are TRUE why are more troops needed?

Is this just a way to change the topic ( gonzales )?

To ALL you Republican W4 Iraq War Lovers being paid by Rove probably to publish his cockroach fecal matter on here. Yes being paid to go through the INTERNET for articles, the press to publish editorials in papers call in radio media you rotten pastie faced Rovian Young Turks.I am not buying it and trust me I know Roves tactics from the Committee to Reelect the President in 1972.He will stoop to anything.Ask someone who lived through that(Watergate era) who ole Rover's former boss was a player.Maybe ask John Dean? who knows about that one.I suspect that's all ya'll do is go through press articles,the net,to and call Rush Bimbas E.D.Limba, call in show over and over again masturbating him with Republican accolades,yet another turk probably on the Republican payroll.
