Yes, I'm a veteran. Yet I'm just a bit younger (got out at E-4) and the probability that I could be called up at any time is slightly more conceivable then you having to receive the call (not that they need many circuit board troubleshooters in Iraq, but with the new permanent bases being installed...) so you can understand my concern. I'm talking about enlisting NOW. Back to the front - NOW. To defend our 'freedoms'? Don't make me laugh. The Fed attacked our freedoms - not the '

Are there clear cut metrics where if such and such happens, its time to go? - Larry Kuperman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_withdrawal_benchmarks Deference, we have 14 military bases that are defined under the May 2005 supplemental funding bill for Iraq as "permanent." This doesn't mean that US troops will man those bases...but it doesn't mean that they won't either. - Larry Kuperman I think that's deceptive, check out this article.

According to any diehard fan of the Iraq war defeat in Iraq is leaving Iraq. Thus, inversely, SUCCESS in Iraq is staying in Iraq - forever. Interestingly enough, Oil and defense contractors also believe success in Iraq is defined by never-ending and open-ended commitment to Iraq and the belief that we should find more countries to invade.

That is a damn fine question. According to our Country's finest documents, however, it is not a question with feasible answer. This is the point where citizens mumble, "Reform or Revolution?" and receive or fail to pursue either.

you can't impeach for possible bad judgement - danielost Sure you can. There are only procedural rules regulating impeachment. Here they are: WWW Link What you may be referring to is Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution wherein it is stated; The President, Vice Presiden

Pretty good little speech. Not his tightest, but poignant. Even though most former supporters of the President have stopped proselytizing and have stopped actively dogging those without full support for the Administration's policies America still doesn't have the wherewithal to impeach.

Reply to Wii users: are you still playing with it? in Console Games JoeUser Forums

Nintendo has always gone their own way and Nintendo has always made a profit on the systems they sell. They don't want to be Sony or Microsoft and they don't care about being perceived king of the console gaming hill. It doesn't surprise me that few people are playing Wii with Summer in full bloom but once it starts to get cold again, the entire console gaming market will kick in to high gear in preparation for Thanksgiving sales.

do you not take the bat away from him. - danielost You know what Def would do? Instruct the child not to do that again (depending upon the intensity of the whacks) then spank the shit out of the kid (up until a certain age, of course). Notice I didn't mention taking away the bat. Eventually, that kid's gonna' have a bat whether you like it or not.

President Reagan did not know about the mass murders. - Danielost A really great book about the Reagan Administration and his propensity to delegate is The Acting President ; co-authored by Bob Shieffer and Gary Paul Gates (E.P. Dutton, 1989). It unfortunately does not cover any Iraqi mischief but it does well in providing a good feel for how the Reagan Administration was run. Check it out at your local library if you've got the time. I wish Gene would re-con

I appreciate the Irony def, I been here a while as you know. - MM I think you've actually been here a few more months then I have. I started out at Political Machine in Spring of 2005 after three or four months I moved to JU. I don't think any of my articles or user points ever transferred over from the PM forums.

Danielost, attacking the war in Iraq doesn't mean supporting Saddam Hussein staying in power. Me, I like to blame the people who aided in his staying power in the first place. Keep a sharp look out for some familiar names. A reading from the book of Wikipedia, Chapter, Saddam Hussein: Throughout the 1980s U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush , U.S. Secretary of State James Baker , and Central Intelligence Agency director
