1. This was mentioned on the Al Franken Show....

...this afternoon. I couldn't fucking believe it. There goes the military vote for Bush--if there's anything even remotely resembling justice in the world.

3. it's hard to put into words how low-down that is.

the military's this desperate for warm bodies, yet the neo-cons and crazies want to fight iran next.

4. So much for the all volunteer Army.

This is the kind of thing that inspires mutineys. And the real issue is : how do we know that they won't gathered up and sent there anyway?
Why bother trusting them?

Its a bad sign when you have to coerce anyone to reenlist -

So when will the fraggings begin ?

6. They will. The real choice is one year of Iraq vs. three years of Iraq

Then again, there's no guarantee that one year will be one year, either.

I told you before and I'll tell you again: since Canada and Mexico wimped out, Brazil became a very nice country. All you have to do is get to the embassy or a consulate and poof, in foreign territory you are.

13. Yupper.... I think Lou is "one of us"..... if that's possible n/t

[krkaufman]

14. If "one of us" means he sees the damage Bush is wreaking...

... and has had enough, but not if it means that he's a Democrat or liberal. Lou is a traditional conservative, offended by Bush's extreme policies.

Well alrighty then! Glad you cleared that up, Mr. Spokesman.
