bush* lied to soldiers
Promised these poor people would only have to spend one year in combat. Today they said "we meant it when we said it". What kind of crap is that? This is wrong. Bring these people home.

1. you want to know something even more saddening??
...I'm sick to death of these military responding with "support our President and stay until job done". Time they speak out.

7. yeah. . .
they really know how to "support the troops". . .

They have. . .

duped them in to serving far longer than they ever imagined,

not given them sufficient protective gear.

not taught them anything pleasant to say in Arabic or dukey about their culture,

insighted the enemy by such wittisisms as "bring 'em on" and shut down a newspaper that nobody was reading, for inciting violence, which only incited more violence, and to which we responded with only more violence.

Oh yeah this constitutes total support and really savvy foreign policy.

3. A local woman on our local news last night said her
husband called and said "GET ME OUT OF HERE" when he heard his tour was extended.

She said all of the families feel the same way. They are really pissed.

5. The worst thing about it...
is that this decision is totally political. He knows starting a draft or even sending more troops over would hurt him politically, but just keeping the same people over there won't be noticed as much. It's sick.

6. He sure did!!
And I would think even repukes would think this is unacceptable and unforgivable and dishonorable and THEY should be calling for impeachment! If it were a Democrat in the WH, you can bet your bottom dollar they'd be screaming "Impeach!"
