A Pentagon official has said an extra 7,000 US soldiers may have to be sent to Iraq on top of the 21,500 already announced by President George W Bush.
The official told a budget committee yesterday that the extra troops would be needed to provide support to the additional combat troops Mr Bush is planning to deploy in Baghdad.

The deployment is aimed at restoring security to the city, which is being wracked by daily bombings and growing sectarian violence.

However, it comes at a time when many Americans and Democrat politicians are calling for their soldiers to be brought home. 70% of Americans are now against the Iraq war and it is unclear how the USA will get the troops without a draft. No republicans will send their children.

Answer 1

Could you be any more STEREOTYPICAL??
Not all Republicans are rich, but maybe they would be if you didn't have Democrats taking every penny we earn to give to someone they feel is more deserving.
GROW UP A$$HOLE AND GET A CLUE
We might not still be fighting this war if Democrats had given us the ability to fight it by any means necessary a LONG time ago. They refuse to fund the war and refuse to back up the troops, what do you expect would happen? They're setting us up for failure. Don't worry, you'll get your way. We'll be fighting this war on our soil soon enough. Maybe that's what this country needs, it's obviously full of morons.

Answer 2

The military continues to meet it's recruting goals. They have not called of rich republicans nor rich democrats. If you are inclined to join please do so. You do not get to select when you want to participate or not. You cannot serve only if a democrat is the Commander-in-Chief. Most of the service men and women do vote republican.

The 70% of Americans against the war is misleading. What you actually have 70% of Americans are not pleased with the way the war has been handled. Of that 70% about half want to quit and go home and half want to increase the effort even more and win it quickly. Add to those who want to end it quickly the 30% happy with the current progress and you will see that there is still a vast majority that are against quiting.

The democrats in congress know this. Why do you think they have no intention of actually cutting the funding? If they did they would be swept from office for the next twenty years.

When it comes to democrats in power, look at what they do not at what they say.

Answer 3

The average soldier is a Republican that came from a family that made more than the national average. They also have on average a better education that the general population.

As far as the polls go, you have to look at who is being polled. The AP polls have been polling more Democrats than Republicans by at least 10%. They have also polled people that don't vote. In short those polls don't reflect anything except that the people that asked the poll went for the answers they wanted.

Answer 4

Again with this rhetoric. I will give you links to show 1. The top 10 richest politicians are Democrats and 2. that the military is dominated 3-2 in enlisted ranks by Republicans and 8-1 in Officer ranks.

We belong to Costco and Sams club and may get a large bunch of bananas for an particularly small fee. i became no longer conscious that they could be despatched by technique of the placed up place of work to the protection stress yet, I despatched them at a low fee and they arrived in a unmarried week. there are such truly some culmination accessible and also you may even evaluate sending a crate of oranges or grapefruit which are available this time of year. My nephew and his companions shared the fruit and were delighted. we've also despatched granola bars, nuts, sweet (which couldn't melt), gum, and many diverse products they prefer to obtain (CD's are yet another famous) and also magazines (autos, activities, or something they could favor to study). Our protection stress is the optimal contained in the global. they are serving us and preserving our freedoms. they prefer to understand the way a lot they are favored and how grateful we are to have them to do the activity it truly is so needed. some do no longer have self belief there has been any progression yet, i visit inform you that there are significant improvements and those who're there experience that the reality isn't continuously being informed to those again living house. this may be very discouraging. deliver a letter and a kit and do it always.

Answer 6

Make that read, "rich politicians". Dems are in the same position.

If you think the US laws are wrong, remember, for fifty years Dems have been in charge. Bush is the first President since WWII who has had a Republican congress. And NO PRESIDENT can make laws. They have to be handed up from congress. He only permits or denies what congress proposes.

Answer 7

The rich don't fight in our wars. Democrats and Republicans alike. The poor are on our front lines.That is the way it always has been. Why? Because of lack of other opportunities. Why would you subject yourself to that sort of environment if you could earn 50 to 100 grand a year working in a nice office?

Answer 8

A better question to ask is why is there only about 10% democrats fighting in Iraq? You all can't be that much of a coward or can you?

Answer 9

Most republicans are not rich, you fool. Secondly over 65% of the military is comprsed of republicans, only 4% of liberals. Eat your own words.

Answer 10

Such a display of combined hatred and ignorance, as always.

Most people who are rich become so after spending years working, at which point they are no longer young enough to serve. Their children are their own people, and choose to enter the military or not.

And, fyi, a lot of children of well-off people serve. My father was a corporate executive in a Fortune 500 company, and both me and my brother served. I knew many people from such areas as Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham Michigan that served. So your claims are as specious and ethereal as your IQ.
