Poll question: The real reason for the troop repatriation?

[trotsky]

1. Other

They need more troops in Iraq and every other method short of a draft has been tried.

[UdoKier]

5. I agree. They are overextended and don't have enough troops...

...for the NEXT oil grab.

2. To create a larger manpower pool for the invasion of Iran/Syria/NK.

4. That would be my vote too. n/t

8. Bingo.....

It's nothing but a smokescreen to make it look like some troops are coming back to the states, but, in reality, they will be prepped for the invasion of Iran.

10. Seconded (Iran is my pick)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. Yeah. Unless they think they can knock Syria off quickly

or the NK sabre rattling escalates.

3. Martial Law But Not Until...

after the election and possibly not until 08' (the anointing of Jeb?).

6. It's for Iran.

They will say, "we're bringing them home" up until the election (because we don't need them in Europe anymore, because we want more troops to protect the homeland at home, etc). Then, after Bush wins again (if he does) they send those 100K to Iran. We'll cry out... this was the plan all along! You never intended to let those guys come home! But they will say that plans have changed and Iran is now an immediate threat and needs regime change. We wish those guys could be home, but they must be in Iran.

Mark my words, that's what will happen.

7. Other. Iraq

Iraq, Iraq, Iraq.

9. Ditto, not ready to give up yet, defeat is not an option, etc. etc. nt
