The idea is that we see how our soldiers are being put like bait in these hostile cities. If they could be deployed to guard the Iraq borders with Syria and Iran maybe the insurgency could be held back or stopped. Let the Iraqui army clean up the mess in this cities. Have Iraq deploy its army inside the city while establishing another part of its army as a perimeter around and outside these cities. This could hold the infitration of the insurgency and keep our soldiers out harmsway. The concept would be a close guard on these borders which means less exposure for our soldiers. The Iraqui army would establish close perimeters before entering these cities meaning filtering any insurgency while another part of the army would clean up the cities for insurgents while establishing law and order.

My son is home from his first school in the Airforce. We are in SC and his first duty station is in Montanta. He has to pay for his travel there, where he will be reimbursed by the Airforce.

We have been looking on-line for inexpensive airline tickets, but are unable to find any below $597.44 one way.

Does anyone know anything about flights for the military, or a site to find "cheap" tickets at the last minute?

Bush would then have no choice but to bring the troops all home, or face the wrath of the American people for leaving them there unfunded and vulnerable. The American public has made it clear that they don't want us to be in Iraq.

I heard this biased statement somewhere by someone (lol). I just sorta wondered. I am joining the service but am more Liberal. I guess is there more republicans in the military? It is just I would like to see if it is true. Does the president's view (Democrat or Republican) determine what the future recruit's views are?

what are they doing with all this stuff? The weapons depots that sadaam left behind had tons of stuff, now they are using up every bullet in america too? Their aim cant be that bad can it? Even if they are like new york cops and put 44 shots into each unarmed civilian cornered in a hallway, that would still mean the entire population of iraq has been killed or wounded at least once.

Now, as the pork barrel money and spend schemes are being exposed for the stalling tactics they are, the Pelosi/Reid regime is now and only now deciding to actually care about the soldiers and consider funding without grandstanding. Finally the bill authorizing the soldier funding is being offered to the president without retreat broadcasting and as much useless pork as previoiusly offered.
ap quote
Democrats in both houses are expected to seek other opportunities to challenge Bush's handling of the unpopular conflict later this year.

Democratic officials stressed the legislation was subject to change. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss provisions before a planned presentation to members of the party's rank and file later in the day.

Why would a condition of anonymity be necessary when talking about the safety of soldiers and the assigned mission when pork barreling and jockeying were eliminated if this WERENT about grandstanding

Isn't it AMERICA that went into Iraq and demanded something that did not belong to them???? They wanted Iraqs oil and when Iraq didnt give it to them they caused a war!!! War is always the answer for America. Also, the american soldiers (HEROES MY ***) kill innocent children in the streets and shoot harmful animals FOR FUN!!!!!!! I saw a video of american soldiers in Iraq shooting a stray dog for fun and they were laughing while the dog was howling in pain!! That is torture!!! A hero would be someone who protects their country from danger not lead them into it. By going into Iraq first and making the first violent move, AMERICA is causing more danger for themselves. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying the Middle Easterners are all that great either with all their suicide bombings that are killing their own people as well and not only their enemy. Also they are fighthing against each other, the shiites and the sunis. Instead of working together they go against each other.

My husband will be going to DLI for over a year, (we will be with him there) then to AIT for 22 weeks. We have been told it is possible for us to go with him, how do we arrange this? I have heard that if he is going to be somewhere for six months or more that we will move with him, since this is so close can we request it?

Also, can I move myself there and have him live with us even if the Air Force is not doing the actual move?
