Anybody See 'Filling The Ranks' On The News Hour ???
Transcript isn't up yet, but it was one hell of a piece.

You can see the video here (RealPlayer): http://www.pbs.org/newshour/newshour_index.html

Lawrence Korb says something to the effect that it would be one thing to call up the Ready Reserve after an emergency like 9\11, but doing it 3 years into the 'War On Terror' is a sign of desperation!!!

Hope a lot of military folk were watching that tonight. Not that they aren't already aware of what the hell is going on.

:grr::nuke::mad:

1. Bush is abusing the military
In order to win the election, Bush is destoying the lives of people who have served our country in uniform, in order to avoid telling the American people the truth about his monumental screw up in Iraq and what it will entail in manpower to fix it.

Can you say "draft"?

The smirking deserter is a disgrace to this country. Our soldiers deserve better.

2. Correct On All Counts !!!
With Iran being massaged as the next stop, a draft will be inevitable if * gets 4 more years.

Something we need to meme and bumper-sticker to the hilt!!!

:hi:

3. I've suggested a bumper sticker before

"Vote for Bush/Cheney in 2004
Win a trip to the middle-east
for you or a loved one"
