"Without changing deployment patterns, without changing length of tours, we do not have the forces to send three additional brigade combat teams to Afghanistan at this point," Defense Secretary Robert Gates told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"My view is that those forces will become available probably during the spring and summer of 2009," he said.

US has no more troops for Afghan war until spring

Lets see now..

Comrade Bush last winter said we needed to enlarge the number of grunts by 100,000 within five years. Not a voice of dissent from congress.

Fast forward to now and Obummer and McKooK, they both agree with Bush.

One small problem, how do they intend to find 100,000 more volunteers????

Wall Street.

The boys on Wall Street never go.

The needed cannon fodder will come as usual from those of us at the bottom of the social ladder.

Money will not buy the needed numbers, girls will not do and the criminals are already in uniform.

But they do have special skills and talents that the bitter hill folk do not. For soothe (e?), the educated shall too be loaded on the short fun bus to happy land to do to others what they have done to us. Besides, they lost their butt in Oz. They be poor too. Wall paper won't help them now.

The ultimate....

Cheney said he took multiple deferments because he had more important things to do. Five years worth.

Every time, someone down the social ladder was dragged away in his place.

I hear you, and believe you, and know this structure to be true.

However, the golden boys used to have jobs to go to. No more.

No skills but cyphering and pencil pushing? All the low paying jobs filled by people with low expectations? I'm telling you these guys are management material and a whole ton of jobs await them, with a benefit package that is equal to and as dependable as, the one they just lost.
