[malaise]

Deployment of 12,000 National guardsmen to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fuck Bush!

Add.

[maggiegault]

1. Breaking On MSNBC: "Homeland Security" Is A Joke

What job does * think the National Guard does when the regular troops are deployed?

Oh, right. As a military deserter, he wouldn't really know, now would he?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. Fuck Bush! This has to be stopped. eom

[deminks]

3. Damn.

[BeHereNow]

4. Say good bye to America...Ain't gonna be nothing left at the finish line.

12,000 lives destroyed- jobs lost, families left to suffer the loss
of income because their loved one has been called to fight for the Empire.

We are so screwn.
Make that, "Katrina'd."

5. Take the streets and

Impeach this war criminal.

[BeHereNow]

19. Somehow I doubt the sheeple are up to such a thing. This is unfortunate.

Americans have become so passive.
Picture the cows on their way to slaughter at the McMeat factories.
This is my view of Americans these days-
Not saying this is true of the majority of DU, but we are the
exception to the rule, and the powers that be know this all too
well.

6. WTF?!?!?!

He's just going to keep pushing the fucking envelope until America rises up and throws his arrogant ass out of the WH, isn't he?

[razors edge]

7. He thinks they come from

a plastic bag at WalMart and melt in silence when doused in gas and lit.

He's never seen a body bag, but he has filled them.

9. Is it impeachment yet? - n/t

[Neecy]

10. interesting...

The MSNBC scroll says these will come from 4 Guard brigades in 4 different states. They don't say which 4 states - anyone willing to take a bet that all 4 are blue states?

[The_Casual_Observer]

"soldiers and marines" doesn't mean reservists I guess.

"So we're deploying reinforcements of more than 20,000 additional soldiers and Marines to Iraq."

jr being a slippery bastard again, I guess he didn't say 21,000 either.

[malaise]

13. 12,000 plus the 21,000

This lunatic has to be stopped.

11. What's the forecast for hurricane season this year? How about fire season?

I've got a bad feeling those National Guard are going to be needed at home a lot more than they are overseas.

bush keeps stealing blood and treasure, blood and treasure. Impeach.

[malaise]

15. You should: Here's Drs. Klotzbach & Gray

<snip>
An average hurricane season has between six and fourteen named storms. Of those six to fourteen storms, between four and eight will reach hurricane strength, with one to three of them becoming major hurricanes (reaching winds of over 111 miles per hour). Hurricane predictions issued by Dr. Klotzback’s team indicate that the 2007 hurricane season will be a very active one. There may be as many as nine hurricanes in the 2007 hurricane season. The average, established by Dr. Klotzbach’s team is 5.9. There are expected to be 17 named storms. The average, also established by Dr. Klotzbach’s team, is 9.6. Dr. Klotzbach’s team is predicting that there is a good possibility that a major hurricane will hit the United States in 2007. His forecast indicates an 81% chance that a major hurricane will hit the United States inland along the East Coast in 2006. His 2007 hurricane predictions also show that the Caribbean will see above average hurricane activity this year.

36. Thank you, malaise.

Damn. :(

[roody]

12. It is the National Guardspeople's duty to say no.

[malaise]

16. Time for Governors and State

Legislatures to act.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. Someone tell me now, how would a Democrat who was in the DoD

feel about this war? Give me your best guess. Would he go out to recruit someone's kid just because of what that kid's studying?

[blitzen]

18. Chimp trying to show that he has the biggest, surgiest surge n/t

[Gregorian]

20. It's one, two, three what are we fightin' for.

I don't give a damn,
next stop is Tehran.

[Horse with no Name]

21. They are doing this because Bush doesn't have to "count" these troops

We should have known this would be the endrun around the surge agreement.

[malaise]

27. This is to put pressure on the

Democratic leadership. Bush is bat shit crazy.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

32. Bullshit! BULLshit!!! BULLSHIT!!!! Are you saying, he's never counted,...

,...the Guard? :grr: I have family and friends in the Guard AND THEY AREN'T COUNTED?!?!!!!!

[Horse with no Name]

35. No. He only has to count active duty troops.

National Guard and reserve troops do NOT get counted in the numbers of troops deployed. They are freebies.

[cmd]

22. He's desperate to prove that he was right

And with every move like this, digs himself deeper in the hole.

[spanone]

23. CUT THE FUNDING AND IMPEACH....NOW

[halobeam]

25. Cut the vacation short for our representatives too....

[leftchick]

26. cutting the funding is the ONLY way to stop this madness

the only way. This makes me sick. :(

[halobeam]

24. This is in addition, on the sly, whatever you want to call it... to the amount he said re: the surge

???? Omission of natn'l guards in the language of the surge (soldiers and marines) is just abysmal. I'm sick. We don't even get the fine print from this bastard.

edit to add: We ought to light the fire under the asses of our governors so to speak! We need the guards here damn it!!!

[stevedeshazer]

28. And Bunnypants goes on vacation.

If this ain't the last straw, what is?

[Jim Warren]

29. The plan all along

The initial 21000 number was a hoax. The real plan is to boost active in-country troop levels near the overall 200,000 level.

[The Count]

30. So Congress approval is now a joke????

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

31. OHHWWWHAT?!?!?!?!!!!
