10,000 more troops needed in Iraq!

[Ironside]

A year ago, President Bush announced the "end of major combat." Since then, hundreds upon hundreds of young American soldiers have been slaughtered.

Last month was our deadliest month to date, in Iraq.

Now this...

10,000 more troops requested



Meanwhile, Gen. John Abizaid, head of the U.S. Central Command, said Monday he has asked the Pentagon for the equivalent of at least two combat brigades, roughly 10,000 troops, to handle the insurgents in Iraq.

"What I've asked for is essentially to have a strong mobile combat arms capability," Abizaid said at a news conference in Baghdad. "That's probably about two brigades worth of combat power, if not more."

Pentagon sources said that for three months that need will be filled by elements of the 1st Armored Division that had been scheduled to return home.

At least two U.S. Marines were killed and eight others wounded Monday evening in an intense exchange with insurgents in Fallujah, according to pool reporters embedded with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

A building housing the Marines was first hit by mortar and/or rocket fire, and then by small arms fire in a firefight lasting about an hour .

Fallujah has been the scene of bitter fighting between U.S. forces and Iraqi militants, following the killings and mutilations of four American contractors in the city earlier this month.

The insurgent uprising from Najaf to Tikrit is making this month the deadliest one since the war in Iraq began in March 2003. With April not yet half over, at least 75 U.S. troops have been killed in hostile action; 26 of them died in fighting over the weekend.

The end of major combat isn't over and saying it is, is an insult to all those serving in Iraq.

Your silence speaks in volumes!

Same old b.s. Same old hyperbole.

Stand Back ! Don't Block the Doors !
Thousands of Patriotic Rabid Right Wingers are struggling off their couches, turning off Rush Limbaugh, and heading in droves to the local Army Recruiter's office To SUPPORT OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ by actually joining up.
" I got bored laying around on my fat ass, one DittoHead was heard to say. "I'm gonna take personal responsability for my beliefs and go kill me some brown women and kids before they can attack this great Compassionate Country."

Hey("yo"),

Too lazy to start a new thread?

Where did you get that quote, NPR? Lib radio? Do you have a source, or did you make it up?

People who make idiotic statements such as that don't constitute the listeners of Rush Limbaugh; but you wouldn't know that, now would you?

Just twist one up and post away, right?

BORING.
Well off to the Pub. Later.

No. Ditto Heads don't have the guts to stand up for their beliefs by taking personal responsability and taking direct action.

Much more comfy to sit around and talk hate, and send somone else's sons and daughteers to die for Ditto Heads everywhere.

Put up or shut up.

Either pick up a gun and go to Iraq or shut up.
If you want a war, go fight it for yourselves.

I'm sure your "war-president/a.w.o.l.- drunk , would be honored to have you do your part for national security.

And for those who would dare me to do the same,
I served my time in the service of my Country and the Constitution during the viet nam era "police action".

I don't expect your thanks for protecting your freedoms.
I will however, exercise those rights I served to protect.

First off Ass hole. I don't believe you. Second I did my time in country for three tours. Your statement makes you a liar. That retard that follows you, or may be your alternate ego, or even you in another persona is just as much a liar, and an asshole. Where did he serve? Where did you serve? Name your units and times.
No matter what, watch your mouth when it comes to talking about others. You don't have a clue about anyone else.

I served as well, so don't go throwing your crap at me. I would serve, if I could today. Why don't you just go somewhere else, as in another country since you hate this one so much.
These sons and daughters going off to war VOLUNTEERED to do so, knowing full well what joining the military entails; no one forced them to join. And most are proud to do it.
You would complain, no matter what the circumstances.

You are nauseating.

If you are somewhere else, stay there.

You talk about hate from others; I've seen more venomous spewing from you than from almost anyone else here. Yours is pernicious.

Finally, YOU put up or shut up.
You listen to Rush Limbaugh and find ONE example of anyone talking hate. I dare you to do that. But you won't because you can't, and you know it.

"Hate Speech"--- A term coined by liberals to classify any ideas or comments that do not agree with their own philosophies.

First of all, I think the idea of "hate speech" is pretty bogus anyways. Just another vaguely defined buzz word liberals use to broadly classify anything they don't agree with. However, if anyone here is guilty of hate speech, it is our friend Puke Man. Our troops are overseas protecting his right to be a moron. Some show of grattitude on his part.

I have no problem with your objection to the war, but insead of spewing venomous character assassinations, offer us a good reason as to why the war is wrong. I'll be glad to have a debate with you, but I'm not going to try to counter your illogical nonsense. I think you're dead wrong about the war, but I'll respectfully disagree with you if you'll agree to do the same. Reply at your leisure as soon as you lose the irrationality that plagues you and plug your brain back in.

"Our troops are overseas protecting his right to be a moron."

I think this isn't quite the case.

My liberties and freedom are not threatened by anyone in Iraq or Afgahnistan.

My Constitution and Bill of Rights have been gutted right here in America by the Ashcroft and the Bush Cabal.

The so-called Patriot Bill does nothing for patriotism or true Patriots. It only employs the social control tactics of Nazi Germany. Hitler would have loved to have such "protections" at his command.

The only threat to our elections is coming from D.C. and the head of Diebold who has stated that they can "deliver the votes to Bush."

Turn off Rush and give Bush the Flush

Let me be blunt. Your previous post makes you a liar.
You have nothing to say.
Nothing to hear.
Go way.

[pukaman]

Does it just hurt your ears, or confuse your mind to hear anything that hasn't been regurgitated by Limbaugh?
Is name calling as far as your intellect extends ?

I served in the USCG, in the early 70's. I joined so that I might have a chance to do something positive with my life and time,serving my country. I did search and rescue work on a 95' cutter in S.E. Alaska.
I've pulled dead bodies out of the water and saved lives for my country,and the right to speak freely and have a difference of opinion. I still believe that it is more noble to save lives, than kill innocent people who have never injured me or my family.

Perhaps I would have been more Patriotic if I had received 5 draft deferments like our noble VP Cheney ?

Is anyone with a different view than you guys automatically called a liar? How simple it must be for you. But then that's the first tactic of the conservative mindset isn't it ?

But I wonder how come you can't see the lies that bushco feeds you.
Example: Bush says " Saddam used poison gas against his own people."
True. He did. thats not nice.

The other half of the truth is " G.H.W. Bush sold Saddam the gas to begin with. Rumsfeld shook hands with Saddam on the deal, as shown in news photos of the time.

So, using that as an example, I pose the following question:

If I supply the gun to a madman, tell him I'll look the other way while he kills your mother, which one is guilty of murder?
This is precisely what Bush did with saddam. It's in the public record, though you won't hear it on Rabid Radio.

Any of your Limbaughites have the ability to debate such a question ?
Or you just gonna call me one of your schoolyard names to demonstrate your intellectual capacity ?

[BOLO]

Somebody say something?
No.
O.K.
