I was just listening to the news and they were talking about that there are not more troops that they ..read?

there is sort of a back-door draft going on where they can get people who are out of the military back in, even if they've already served their time.  If a full draft starts, you will see a definite changing of feelings toward the war.

I agree 100% with you on this one!!!! There are 20,000 troops in that region, and I have several friends with whom I served with in the past in that region. From e-mail contacts my friends are saying that everything is "hush-hush"!!!! It is the media that has the "lose lips" with bogus reporting, and to win this war against terror most battles need to be kept in the dark!!!

Don't listen to KKiaserdrago he must be all of 12. Our Military right now is being stretched to its limit. We're throwing all our resources into a war that makes no sense. And did we really catch the guy who masterminded the sept 11th bombing. No we didn't he's still out there plotting. I think we need to pull the guys back here and start protecting our own land here before shipping them overseas to fight in a wasteful war that's getting hundreds of our boys killed for nothing.

Hello, Canada!  Have you forgotten all the troops we prematurely pulled out of Afghanistan and sent into Iraq? Tell you what. Why don't some of you nice Canadian boys step up and take some of the load in Iraq, and then we can send some of our guys back into Afghanistan to finish that little job, or haven't you heard? Since we had to cover two fronts without much help from our northern buddies, we kind of let the Taliban regroup, so now we've got to go back and knock 'em back down again.  Who knows? Maybe second time's a charm and we'll get old bin Ladin this go round, eh?\n\nUpdate:  For those of you apparently residing on a different planet, here's a link to yesterday's news out of Afghanistan (excuse me, this ABC report was filed on June 20.) This is the ABC Blog site.\n\nhttp://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/06/us_back_at_full.html

If  I wanted to read the real story of Bush I would definitely not want to read the one put out by him and his family.  I would want to read the real story.  It is just like the news today.  Do I want to hear what the Bush news machine puts out, or do I want to really know what is going on.  Especially in his case, although probably true for most Presidents, I would not trust much of anything he says after being witness to so many of his tragic lies, like WMD, Mission Accomplished, etc.  If someone were able to even publish the Bush story, starting with Preston funding the Nazis up to the present day, it would be a wild read.  Give me the unofficial one every time.

I saw some things on the news about I think that now its not about fighting I think now we need to train our soldiers to train the Iraqi soldiers to do the job our soldiers are doing like raids check points. I heard this guy(god rest his soul) who was a marine and he talked about how no one seemed to understand the war but he did that he was fighting for these peoples freedom. I dont know I dont think we can solve the problem but I think we should in no way send more troops I think we should train the  Iraqi troops to do what our troops are doing and then leave. Because if we left right now all at once I feel like everything that we have accomplished will become a waste and speaking as a military fiance the soldiers who are fighting and the ones that have died all the hard work we dont need to go to waste.

We haven't gotten the oil flowing yet.  Halliburton hasn't made enough money yet.  The troops will be there until at least the end of Bush's administration (and that end can't come fast enough!).

Sorry I did not see the press conference with Bush.  I am a Canadian, and I try not to watch political things from the US (perhaps I should start!).  But I think that it is TOTAL BS that he isn't going to bring your troops home.  I know that the are proud to fight for their country, and for what they believe in, but I think that it is about time that they start pulling out.  I know that Canadian troops have gone in and started taking over for the US troops in some areas (but then again Canada is a peace keeping nation and the US is an a** kicking nation! lol) ... I don't know what to think, but those are my feelings.  My prayers are with you and your family, (and for you hubby and all the troops that are involved in this war) God Bless

I didn't hear that, but thats crazy.\n\nIt's going to cause a draft.  There won't be enough people going on their own.

that is hoping for to much, my man is deploying in march, and 3 other neighbors in may 2007 all in different units. this wont happen until a vote is cast on a specific date etc... however how about pray for the safety of our troops more? that is always appreciated, even by the people who dont believe in God. (sorry)

I believe our troops are performing their mission well they are securing the streets while providing humanitarian aide.  I am not sure if I agree with the mission.  I think that we are in a position much like Vietnam where are troops are not being allowed to win the war. I understand that we don't want to be inhumane but this is a war we are fighting - let them do whatever is necessary to win so they can come home.

wow...this is new to me...you wonder...how is bush fighting something...and supporting it at the same time...there must be something for the corps.thats why no one is mentioning it...or they have been told to shutup by the government

What's wrong with boarder patrol in Iraq, or Afghanistan? That is what a conservative would say. I think there will be thousands of discharged military men looking to fill those positions already.

Not any more. They simply don't have the money to maintain the big military they once had. Most of it is rusting in storage areas that are poorly guarded.

I do! No doubt about it!!! I was mad at him when I heard that he denied our troops to come home after these last 4 years! He's only thinking of himself.. I really feel sorry for our troops...they need to be home with their families and not end up dying and never seen again! And yet he keeps sending more of our troops out there? What a turd!
