Military - January 2007

By my count, arab countries have always been the aggressors in any conflicts with Israel. Do these people truly believe they have unlimited opportunities to attack their neighbors and not loose any strategic territory? That's not the history of the region or of the world for that matter.

Troops pressure Congress to back pullout from Iraq
January 17, 2007
By Renee Schoof Detroit Free PressWASHINGTON --

Pressure on Congress intensified Tuesday to stop President George W. Bush's plan to increase troops in Iraq, as about 1,000 active-duty soldiers and Marines urged lawmakers to support a quick withdrawal and antiwar groups planned to rally state legislatures.

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 active-duty servicemen and women
who oppose the war sent an "appeal for redress" to Congress. Although they're duty-bound to carry out the president's orders, they have a legal right to use such means to express their views.

The statement, carried on the Web site AppealforappealforRredress.org, was signed by 1,080 troops as of Tuesday afternoon, the site claimed.

It urged Congress to support "the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq," adding, "staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price."

They must be if we can ascertain that 90% (or some other "overwhelming majority") are voting Republican, as frequently claimed on this forum. Yep, even the 18-21 year olds, even though few civilians in that age group vote. And of course all the overseas troops must vote by absentee ballots. Wow, three million folks all voting together as a block. That's impressive.

Condoleeza Rice recently said that the war in Iraq was worth the investment. Since she is a potential Commander in Chief after the next election I want to know what Yahoo users think how many of our kids have to die before Iraq is no longer worth it. It seems that as long as the little rich white kids arent getting drafted the Feds feel free to send the rest of our kids into harms way.

Is there really as big a social void between ratings and officers as my friends would have me believe?

I am hopefully joining the Navy after University. I really want to join as a rating, but feel that it would be a waste of five years' further education when I could have gone in straight from school. Therefore I feel compelled to get my commission first, even though I come from a working-class family and don't seem to mix with the posh, typical officer-types here at Uni. The pay is much better as an officer too.

So what it boils down to is, can I be an officer but still 'one of the lads', rather than a posh, snooty **** who looks down his nose at anyone of lower rank? I'd feel more at home with the boys!

Thanks!

Iran warns it's ready for nuke standoff

TEHRAN, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday that Iran was prepared for any possibility in the standoff with the West over its controversial nuclear activities.

"Today, with the grace of God, we have gone through the arduous passes and we are ready for anything in this path," state-run television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying Thursday.

Ahmadinejad also denounced critics of his nuclear diplomacy at home, saying that they will not affect his government's handling of the nuclear issue with the West.

Conservatives and reformists have in recent weeks openly challenged Ahmadinejad's hard-line nuclear diplomacy tactics, with many saying his provocative remarks are doing more harm than good.

The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons, an allegation Tehran denies.
