By having a steady stream of surge to pour onto the battlefield.

Yes I did, thank you very much.


GravatarA couple of weeks ago everybody, generals current and retired, pols from both parties agreed there aren't any troops to send. Maybe some for 3 months max. The surge was dismissed as not-gonna-happen mccain talk.

Powell Says U.S. Army `About Broken' Because of Iraq
Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said the U.S. Army is ``about broken'' from the Iraq conflict and cast doubt on whether the military could or should boost the number of troops in the country.

``There really are no additional troops'' to send, Powell said on CBS's ``Face the Nation'' program. ``The current active Army is not large enough and the Marine Corps is not large enough for the kinds of missions they are being asked to perform.''
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne...ajU0& refer=home

So where are they gonna troops from?


Gravatarone of the reasons we took out Saddam, supposably (I'm using Bushspeak) is that our tuffness would skeer the Palestinians into surrendering ("a show of force clarifies things"). Now it appears that the only effect of Saddam's execution is to anger Palestinians further against "Americans and Jews". Great.

Bush could fuck up scrambled eggs and a one car parade.


GravatarThe last report I heard, Senator Johnson was coming along quite nicely.

Mr. Tena, who often is right about things, even though I pretend he isn't, just to annoy him (smile) is convinced that this entire exercise is all about Saddam's threat to kill Poppy.

Oh, you don't where pantz ether?


GravatarSo where are they gonna troops from?

That's where the talk of recruiting stations overseas comes in.

The only problem with this is that there is an inherent "pipeline" issue; it takes about three months, minimum, to convert a raw recruit into a soldier.

And, as we all know from watching Combat! in the 60's, the new guy never lasts more than an hour.


GravatarI would only argue with Mr Tena in that it was both to avenge Poppy and to get revenge on Poppy for liking Jebby better.

GravatarThat's where the talk of recruiting stations overseas comes in.

And how many English speaking recruits are they going to come up with in Mexico and Guatemala and SouthAmerica or even Haiti, for christ's sake?

GravatarI just read the transcript of that Edwards interview. Good fucking grief. Edwards should have taken it to her as soon as she started Chimpwhoring. He just sat there and took it.

One correct answer to "Do you want to give up?" is "Do you want to hear what I have to say, or are you more interested in pushing Republican talking points?"

Another is "Hell, yes. It's become very clear that this administration cooked the intelligence to justify this war; that they never planned for even the most obvious contingencies; and that even at this late date, they can't give a convincing and consistent explanation of why we went in in the first place. The president wants to "choose victory" but can't define what "victory" is or give us anything other than his fantasies to suggest that we can achieve it. So if I am president I'm going to put my foot down and say that we can't justify losing any more lives or any more money on this adventure. You'd be taken more seriously if you weren't addicted to Republican smears about "giving up" and "cutting and running," but whatever you want to call it, we need to get out of Iraq and we need to start now."


GravatarNTodd, I really like that you're a Quaker, very foreign to me, very right in its way. We were Greek Orthodox, damn there was a lot of bloodshed in ourr history, Xians


GravatarIt takes more than 3 months to turn a bunch of people who grew up in rural parts south of the border into soldiers for christ's sake.
Tena - 1:14 pm


must disagree...
rural folks from the thrid world are already hardened to much of the soldier's work...they do not evince our sophisticate scruples toward wanton violence; they are not averse to bloodshed, since they slaughter their own meat; and they are trained from birth to follow orders...

makes 'em perfect 'soldiers' imho...

GravatarWoody - how's that going to work if they don't speak English? If they can't read, and there are a lot of illiterate people living south of the border.

Having some kind of killer instinct is not the only thing that makes a soldier, which you must know, since you were one.


GravatarWell, I hope you tell Mr. Tena that I've been affirming the "That man tried to kill my Daddy!" motivation all along. So he's not alone in his thinking.

It's transparently obvious. In fact, I'm convinced this is why the Chimpster was ripe for the picking when Perle, Wolfowitz, Rummy, Cheney and the rest decided we needed to go into Iraq.

President Discusses the Future of Iraq

THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm proud to be with the scholars, and the friends, and the supporters of the American Enterprise Institute.
...
At the American Enterprise Institute, some of the finest minds in our nation are at work on some of the greatest challenges to our nation. You do such good work that my administration has borrowed 20 such minds.

Their hobbies are gardening, planting IEDs, and in their spare time, sniping. They are specially fond of arts and crafts, like drilling holes in their enemies heads and otherwise disfiguring their corpses.

When not running amok, they reflect on plans for their next murderous rampage. Oftentimes their reveries are interrupted by the explosion of the odd depleted uranium shell or a bullet through the head.
