Folks, the BFEE just found the ULTIMATE SCAPEGOAT for a draft

[Walt Starr]

Yep, Newsweek will be that scapegoat. Observe, if you will, the scenario:

Violence in Afghanistan escalates, spilling over into Pakistan, over the Koran report. Nobody in the Me buys into the retraction, forcing the U.S. to extend tours and increase troop levels. Further escalations of violence in Iraq are blamed on the same thing and troop levels must be increased there, too.

Where do we get those troops?

Sorry, but since Newsweek couldn't watch what it wrote, we have to now draft our young people into the Army to stabilize things.

Two birds. One stone. Case closed.

[applegrove]

1. Look for undesirables like people in prison & gang members to

be drafted first. Look for a two tiered army. The elite groups with all the training, then the poor farm boy troops that have to deal with the bombs, the press-ganged former inmates & all crap. My guess is that the 'fundie Christians' will be made the educated leaders of the mass troops.

Or maybe I am just in denial about the draft.

IMHO

2. LOL

It's a bit surrealist, but this whole world has been feeling more and more like Rollerball lately, so you may be right...

[blm]

3. You got THAT right. they always set up others to cover their lying asses

time and time again. They control most of the broadcast media and can get away with this shit every time.

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. And, from now on, by extension, any other media outlet foolish enough to

talk shit about US government policy.

[underpants]

5. Walt-they had this story prewritten and ready for today

This BEYOND reaks of a set up "high government official" and all.

6. Nah, they'd never CREATE CONDITIONS that would benefit them...

[Teaser]

7. Maybe...

but I think the Uzbek situation is more volatile than this Afghan situation. This is an incident, while the Uzbek situation is self-sustaining (while Islam Karimov remains in power).

Just my 2 bits.

[Walt Starr]

12. Yeah, but the Uzbek dictator is Shrubbo's friend

And this excuse is there for them to use.

Let's them build up forces before the next war, too.

Rove is not a genius, but he's damned lucky. This scapegoat just fell into his lap, and can be used whenever he chooses.

[Cleita]

8. There is a draft coming one way or the other.

The goal of the neo-cons, I believe, is to build the biggest war machine known with the most modern weapons and the biggest military ever. We may all become part of this military down the road. It's the way they will rule the world, with fear. Yes, there will be other countries, but their puppets will be installed in their governments. Those governments like the European union, whose regimes can't be toppled as easily as third world countries, will be kept quiet by the threat of this military.

We have to stop them now.

[libnnc]

9. ho-ly shit.

you're right. :scared:

Makes *perfect sense*...fucked-up Bushian *sense*, but it fits.

Sets us up nicely for the Iran-June senario, no?

[Walt Starr]

11. Yep, if we see a draft, count on it being linked to the violence

over the Koran report.

[seabeyond]

10. fundie friend came this morning to gasp at what newsweek

did. as i go into a rant about the bogus outrage from white house, putting male on male in a pile, kneeling a male to another males crotch to pretend sucking dick, whoring our female and stripping her down to smear menstrual blood on their faces

now our citizens like her are going to allow bush to dump all the blame of the death and mess of the war on newsweek

no no she says. but this is it gonna start the big one

start the big one my fuckin ass, people have been dying all along, it is just not reported.

not in afghanistan she says

another bullshit, just not reported

the story is true, we knew the story was true long ago. bullshit, all of it is just more bullshit to shift blame off bush

[donkeyotay]

13. Ah, the classic GOPer twofer

1) we get the draft which we desperately need for WWIII (or IV, who's counting?)and

2) It's the god-damned liberal media's fault.

Brilliant. Classic. Disastrous. Oh well.

[City of Mills]

14. It would never happen.

That would require the intelligence and facts to be fixed around the policy. :think:
