23. i think some of us may have missed a point
which is that recently the polish troops were given new responsibilities in iraq, and other countries are in dialogue over this very issue.

where does that 4B$ a month go exactly? i suppose some of it goes to those client states looking to get some cash for slave troop labor. what was that coalition of the willing again? luxemborg & ethiopia are on that list, i seem to recall...

my point is this: they'll spend billions to keep a lid on things until after the election. *then* the draft will come back. they will need a bigger army to realize the whole of the PNAC plan, but there's still plenty of time to spin, squeeze, and otherwise dupe people into believing we're "winning" the war on terra.

i for one would love to see a draft. progressives get to live up to their name and start burning draft cards, and these frightening little Leo Strauss wannabes i see all the time would get to put their BS where they mouth is. i know, it's a deadly & unfair solution, but at this point i don't know how else to wake up the slumbering, CNN watching masses.
