Gates: Increase In Soldiers' Tours From 12 Months To 15 Will Meet Troop Demands In Iraq, Afghanistan

Might as well lump all of these articles under one title: Bush's Disaster Continues Full Speed Ahead.

Downing Street Memos, bush lied us into war. Outing NOC CIA agent and her cover Brewster Jennings. Warrantless spying on Americans. BILLIONS of $ lost in Iraq. I guess Jeff Gannon would have produce a stained suit before congress decides to IMPEACH the crooks and liars in the whitehouse...go figure....

So a manly bulge in troop numbers wasn't enough for Bu$h and the Pentagoons... Now they introduce troop fatigue as another joke in this poorly planned and ungodly oil invasion...
Great.

I guess it's just too much to ask for the MSM to come up with anything good to say. Maybe one day there will be fairness in the news again. I just don't think I'll live long enough to see it - and I'm 37.

So this is what Bu$h means by support the troops.

party over country
power over Constitution
expediency over responsibility
politics over doing the right thing
lies over truth
money over partriotism

And profit over the blood and lives of our soldiers.

Where's rah rah go Bush go?

George Bush sure has a strange idea of "supporting the troops."

Maybe he and all his supporters should volunteer to replace the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan. Since John McCain claims Iraq is a safe place to take a vacation, he should be the first to volunteer.

George Bush and D. Cheney should be impeached before they can cause permanent damage to the US and further damage to US soldiers.

One more disgusting announcement from this corrupt administration! More of our troops staying longer to die for NOTHING! Bush knows this war is lost, but rather then admit that he scre*wed up he's going to drag it out until the next president takes office and dump the bloody problem in their lap! That works for him because after the next president does the smart (and humane) thing and pulls our troops out then Bush will be able to sit on his lying as*s in Texas and say "It would have worked if they'd just stayed the course! It's their fault the war was lost!". In the meantime he doesn't care how many of our troops have to die to cover his as*s! he is without a doubt the single most disgusting tick of person ever to occupying any office in American history! There are no words that properly describe what a low life as*shole worm he is! He's the stuff maggots vomit up, but even that doesn't come close to saying how scummy he is for this sh*it! He will be hated for generations to come around the world.

Draft the Bush twins first;
let McCain go back to Bagdad with a rifle;
bring full draft back and start with the kids
in college who are not making a 2.75 average;
do that and look how long it will take middle America to wake up and throw out the bums who started this whole mess.
Oh yeah, make sure the twins get some frontline action.

STOP LOSS!!
Backdoor draft!

Call it what you want, this can't go on forever.


The Iraq war is creating more people that hate the US, that's for sure.

If we were to start getting 100% control over Iraq then the "terrorists" aren't going to stay there if attacking America is the goal.

The whole "we have to fight them in Iraq so we don't fight them at home" argument is a sham.

Secure the borders and ports.
Find Bin Laden.

Are we so blind, have we become so engrossed with saving the face of the Worst President in US History that we will allow our Military to be treated like this. This is OUR defense people and they aren't even in the SAME country with those that attacked us. Someone had better wake up here and soon.

Can you say, backdoor draft?
