Rhandi reported troop staying in till 2009
Edited on Mon Nov-28-05 03:26 PM by FreedomAngel82
I'm listening to Rhandi and she's reading something (I just tuned in) about what generals are trying to tell Bush. According to what she's reading they're planning on staying in until 2009. The generals don't want to talk because they don't want to jeprodize their career's. AH! Rhandi also said that she has a friend who is a military career person and so is her husband and they have two little kids and are afraid of going to Iraq, so she divorced her husband to tell that she could only take care of the kids to stay and than she remarried the guy after she got to stay. She said her friend can't take it anymore. They're so destroying these men/women's lives. :cry:

2. Ah I wasn't sure

And now I'm hearing her talk about doing an air war and making it look like we're done and she's saying the pilots won't be responsible for the bombing. She also said that we're going to be the one's fighting the civil war and helping the Iraqi's bomb people they don't like. It's probably going to be like what Tim Goodrich and Hart Vigel talked about at Camp Casey this last summer.

5. Yep
It's all about the politics. They don't care either ways about the soliders and what's going on on the ground. This way they can use Iraq and terrorism in 2006 and than again in 2008. They'll more than likely have some "Mission Accomplished part two" and than do the air bombings like they were before we "officially" went in.

9. The corporate elite are making too much money
Edited on Mon Nov-28-05 03:58 PM by tabasco
from war profiteering. We will have to pry Iraq from their cold dead hands. This may be their last chance to establish total plutocracy in this country and they will not surrender their plunder easily.

Traitorous war profiteers should be punished.

10. Somethings gotta give.
We don't have the troops to cover what we'll need for next year. They're already talking about converting artillery troops to infantry. Replacements are not coming and a draft will take too long to start up. On top of all that is a pending economic meltdown that will come sooner or later if we keep spending the way we are.

This can't go on until 2009.
