		<description>I&#039;ve been saying that for two years.  I&#039;m still on active duty and I feel it is my obligation to say it now as I&#039;ve been saying it to my elected representatives.

If you want to continue this war and future wars, turning our Army into an imperial Army you must either 1) conscript people from foreign coutries we are occupying or 2) institute a large full scale draft of American citizens immediately or risk further destruction of the US Army and Marine Corps.

I got back in March after a 14 month deployment in Nineveh and Al Anbar.</description>

		<description>Draft = Rich, well connected ChickenHawks still get a way out, &quot;Cheney&quot;, &quot;GW666&quot;= More of the same from the elite.
Draft = Average American ChickenHawks getting upset that their kids are now GW666&#039;s cannon fodder for Oil = End of War.

		<description>Even so, given the choices that seem to have been foisted upon us by the system and the media (Hillary and Giuliani), Iâ€™ll be voting for another candidate just the same.

Comment by TripMaster Monkey â€” October 16, 


Hm.  Yeah, I voted for Perot twice and Nader once, if you can believe that, but I did so in the knowledge it was irrelevant who I voted for, my particular state is not competitive.

		<description>Keltoi sez:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;It goes back to my orginal question about whether the Dems are in your â€œgang of crooksâ€ basket.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Most of them are, yes...particularly certain Speakers of the House that have unilaterally decreed that &quot;impeachment is off the table&quot;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Since they wonâ€™t approve a draft or impeachment, your only hope to â€œfreeâ€ the government is if they win the WH in 08, and was wondering if that would make you happy or not.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

First of all, although many Dems and nearly all Repubs have shown themselves to be accessories to this administration&#039;s awful crimes, there are several notable exceptions.  Some of those exceptions are currently running for President.

Second, you&#039;re couching the debate in &quot;Dems vs Repubs&quot; terms again.  If both alternatives are unacceptable, one must seek other alternatives.  I understand that, since we are living in a &lt;i&gt;de facto&lt;/i&gt; two-party system, voting for a third party or Independent candidate is akin to &quot;throwing your vote away&quot;, or at the very best, a protest vote.  Even so, given the choices that seem to have been foisted upon us by the system and the media (Hillary and Giuliani), I&#039;ll be voting for another candidate just the same.</description>

		<description>RemoveBush,

Sorry, my sarcasm key was stuck.

But surname distribution and surge participation both have the same irrelevance to the captains&#039; positions.  The pinche rightwingers clutch the stupidest and tiniest straws to discredit and smear anyone who dares to say the Emporer is naked.</description>

		<description>Iâ€™m trying to point out the HUGE problem with your plan. It will only ALLOW Cheney and the other criminals to escape.

Comment by RemoveBush â€” October 16, 2007 @ 12:03 pm


First of all, I have no &quot;plan.&quot;  Secondly, impeachment alone doesn&#039;t result in removal from office.  That takes a conviction by the Senate.  Thirdly, neither one of us is an EXPERT on the Constitution.  I don&#039;t know why you are so positive that you are the ONLY one that is correct here.  I, at least, am not making that claim.  You have your opinion; I have mine.</description>

Hey RB,

Calm down.  It was sarcasm - I know with the stuff that the right wing comes up with, it is hard to tell; but nanlichi just wrote the same type of thing I was about to write (albeit much funnier).  He was pointing out the irrelevance of the &quot;surge&quot; comment. (you can tell from the POS comment if you can&#039;t tell from the tone).

BREEEEAAATH :-)

Peace,

		<description>Impeachment either, btwâ€¦.
Whatâ€™s your point?
Comment by TripMaster Monkey â€” October 16, 2007 @ 1:03 pm

It goes back to my orginal question about whether the Dems are in your &quot;gang of crooks&quot; basket.  Since they won&#039;t approve a draft or impeachment, your only hope to &quot;free&quot; the government is if they win the WH in 08, and was wondering if that would make you happy or not.</description>

<p>It goes back to my orginal question about whether the Dems are in your &#8220;gang of crooks&#8221; basket.  Since they won&#8217;t approve a draft or impeachment, your only hope to &#8220;free&#8221; the government is if they win the WH in 08, and was wondering if that would make you happy or not.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4121270', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Look at the surnames of these &quot;captains&quot; again.  There are FOUR that start with the letter B and THREE that start with the letter M.  Why didn&#039;t TP point that out?  What are they hiding?  TP should be honest enough to point out that out of 12 captains, a full 7 start with either a B or an M.  Out of 26 possible letters in the alphabet? 

What are the odds of that??

Come on, these people have absolutely no credibility, I agree with the POS TCDon.</description>

You&#039;re right.  Initially the war was about WMD.  I&#039;m talking about the reasons after that, after it became obvious that there were no WMD.  At some point the spin was that the U.S. was going to liberate those poor Iraqis from their evil dictator.</description>

No  there isn&#039;t,  because  Bush  has  for  some  strange  reason decided  to  break  the military, while pushing more money   for private mercenaries, like Blackwater.

He  even vetoed the   military  men  and  women&#039;s  wage  increase,   real   support  forthe  troops there,  eh  koolaide  drinker?</description>
