35,000 soldiers told to prep for Iraq.

“The Pentagon has notified more than 35,000 soldiers and Marines to be prepared to deploy to Iraq beginning this fall, a move that would allow commanders to maintain the ongoing buildup of troops through the end of the year if needed. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Tuesday the deployment orders, which have been signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, do not mean that the military has made a decision to keep the increased level of 20 brigades in Iraq through December.”

And this is what the nimrod President has to say:

President Bush has repeatedly argued that the United States needs to “eliminate terrorist threats abroad, so we do not have to face them here at home.”

And Richard Clarke hits home run with this comment:

Withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq doesn’t mean that violence will follow them to the United States. As former White House counterterrorism director Richard Clarke notes:

Of course, nothing about our being “over there” in any way prevents terrorists from coming here. Quite the opposite, the evidence is overwhelming that our presence provides motivation for people throughout the Arab world to become anti-American terrorists.

And the request for 35,000 soldiers were requested in December. All mastermind by the Gerbil to press Congress for more money for Iraq for his personal agenda.

hey dudes

Could somebody give me some oxygen? I've been holding my breath till September to see how the general reads the ground. These lieing sons of she dogs won't let up with their deceit for one minute.

As far as the money goes it's payday on Monday, just like the any other alchoholic.
