OCA said:L.A. Times, Iraq "Occupation" Watch? Dubious sources to say the least.
The 1st one I can give some credence to.
Ok lets say a draft happens, what is wrong with required military service by young men?
i guess these topics always go back to the same crux of the same arguement.
i'm not going to debate the draft here, just trying to mindful that staffing simply cannot continue at current rates. also pointing out that money for this huge effort is still waning, and the dollar is still falling.
i don't have time to google and dig for 1/2 hour to find a credible by your standards source. there really isn't much argument that the troop needs are reaching the point where they are stretched too thin. there really isn't much argument about the deficit increasing and the money for the war in iraq is running out. unless i've got it wrong.
so, for the record, you are saying that
a) the troop level is fine and we don't have to worry about staffing
b) the funding of the war is not an issue, and it shouldn't be a problem to finance this war free standing without international help
and finally,
c) bush is in europe to offer his services to the people of europe. he is actually being nice to them and they should gratefully accept whatever he proposes
forgive me for not fully addressing your other questions. it is merely to try and keep focus on the points i wanted to stress.
