Keep him around because it's so much fun to watch him flit about. The desertion thing is not a lie pattyfish. If you were to actually read the link you would have found that out. <blockquote>But retired Vice Adm. John McConnell, the director of national intelligence, and Army Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Senate Armed Services Committee in a separate hearing that the Iraqi army sent to Baghdad only two of the three additional brigades that were to have been in place by Feb. 15. An Iraqi brigade is supposed to have 3,200 men. "One of the problems was having fully manned units when they arrived in Baghdad," McConnell said. "A work in progress is how best to describe it. It's not there yet." It was McConnell's first time testifying before a congressional committee since he became the nation's top intelligence officer on Feb. 13. Maples, the military's top intelligence official, said that the strength of the Iraqi battalions that comprise the two brigades range from 43 percent to 82 percent. The numbers were the most concise manpower figures that the U.S. military has given for the additional Iraqi units sent to Baghdad. McConnell said one reason for the Iraqi shortfalls is that typically 25 percent of an Iraqi army unit is away on leave or on some other assignment. But U.S. and Iraqi officials also have cited high desertion rates as a serious problem. </blockquote> Show me where this is a lie, but remember you'll be calling the top military brass liars and only if you can fire them can you say that. It's quite simple patrick one, your'e not an original thinker or a critical one for that matter. You are told what to do. Patrick1 is like that fish in a barrel.

It's just programmed to spew forth with the usual righttard talking points at random intervals. That's why it's not able to go fight in the occupation of Iraq and support the pResident it claims to worship.
