More troops are likely, but not a draft
The question of whether to send more troops to Iraq — soon, at least for a short term — isn’t the only military decision awaiting President Bush.
Bush also is proposing to boost permanent force levels in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as both are stretching to meet demands in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. In short, the president is stuck between Iraq and a hard place.
The first issue — troop levels in Iraq — would be a tough sell, even if it might make sense from a strategic standpoint. On the other hand, how much concern can a lame-duck president have for the political popularity of such a move?
The matter of bolstering the number of soldiers and Marines — especially in light of the global battle against terrorist threats might find more support, in public and in Congress.
1.what is the purpose of the letter, what is the topic if the letter?
3.who is the audience for the letter, what is the tone of the letter, write a debatable issue.

think about it, if anything were to go down america would be right there for them, but at the same time arent held liable for the actions of america, and since they;re not really seen as a threat they arent much of a target for terrorism, what do you think

The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport eleven million illegal immigrants! That would be eleven million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to your friends.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq .

Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.

He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

The Vietnamese Election had a greater turnout than the Iraq Election

In September 1967, the Vietnamese held an election to decide their own government with an over 80% turnout, better than the Iraqi election. We were told then that this was a new day of freedom for Vietnam, a major breakthrough that would soon allow us to start withdrawing our first forces.



We also heard the same “stay-the-course” rhetoric we’re hearing today, calling those who wanted to leave cowards, and predicting the Vietnamese were well on the way of becoming a free, sovereign nation. Yet, seven long years of bloodshed later, with over 35,000 more Americans killed, and 80,000 more maimed and permanently disabled, with our tail between our legs, in shame and disgrace, we were forced to abandon Vietnam – to “cut and run” … all because we had no idea of the psychology and culture of the people we were fighting. Samething will happen In Iraq. Stay tuned!

My fiance was in the Marine Corps for 5 years...he was in Iraq for the first initial push...he was involved with recovery efforts for the USS Cole...I have so much respect for him and am so glad he is home...but it just seems like he has acquired such an agression from the military...its been 3 years since he was out...I'm sure he had Post Traumatic Stress...but his anger is really bad. I know 4 other Marines with the same problem. One ex-marine friend of his was arrested for murder...I notice it so much with Marines...what is this???

First Lt. Ehren Watada, a 28-year-old Hawaii native, is the first commissioned officer in the U.S. to publicly refuse deployment to
Iraq. He announced last June his decision not to deploy on the grounds the war is illegal.
http://hotzone.yahoo.com/b/hotzone/blogs19056
Mr Lt. Ehren Watada should serve as a model of patriotism for marines and service militar. But instead the militar is doing the opposite,why?.

Should all the liberals be sent overseas to negotiate a peace? Would they be crucified and skinned alive or would they be given tea and crakers?

I am sick of hearing abot how great the troops are...they are a buncha republican pawns. The Commander in Cheif and his girly boys in DC ran from the Vietnam War.

You can BET they are not STUPID enough to send their kids into the IRAQI shooting gallery..yet act like...they respect our soldiers.

When our RAT POLITICIANS and their brat kids show up for WAR, then our troops should show up as well...but not until.

Amyone that wants to risk his life for Punk Bush is an idiot.

Do not give me that load of crap about defending Freedom..it is BULL

I saw a special about a nazi sub captured with an enigma machine on board.
Somehow due to a politician in Washington DC who was involved with this operation to capture the said sub it was brought up by ways of rivers,canals,and lakes to his home city of Chicago.
Is this true?
Is it open for the public to see?
