IRAN - The next reason to wave the flag and not enlist

bush is scaring the base and rattling his little tin sword telling us all how terrible Iran is. I'm sure the badass patriotic conservatives are restocking with Chinese made American flags and are so looking forward to supporting our kids who will be sent into another country full of armed people who hate us to spread democracy. And I'm sure those same patriotic "conservatives" are so brave that they will opt to not join the military so they can stay home and support those troops.

Know how to make a "conservative" think very liberally? Talk about the draft.

March 20th and the Euro is coming pretty quick!

The US, Britain and Israel will all agree that oil rich Iran is a major threat and bomb the shit out of them...

Bolton was put in the UN position just for this attack...

And of course, as usual it's all bullshit and about keeping the dollar as the only currency traded for oil.

4. And the Navy's blue to green program

where officers and enlisted folk who have no chance of advancing in the Navy can opt to join the Army at the same paygrade.

3. It's interesting isn't it that the Repugs were screaming

"Racism" against Arabs (Middle East citizens) when everyone didn't approve of the Dubai Ports deal

yet

They turn around and make Iran the boogeyman and once again start attacking Middle Eastern countries and their people....

I agree lets seriously talk about the draft....because that is the only way they will have boots on the ground in Iran...
