WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The United States will not have enough forces available to meet a request for more troops from NATO's top commander in Afghanistan until next spring at the earliest, the U.S. defense chief said on Tuesday.

"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.

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????

When the economy takes a nose dive, world wide, you think it is going to be hard to find people who want to eat?! Offer them 20,000 paper $1 bills and find out how fast they sign up.

Which is what the US is doing world wide now, promising citizenship to those who fulfill their tours. Tough s--- if you get killed during the tour.

This info has been posted in the 4um before, about foreign people being sworn in as citizens after they have served, and about how the numbers are growing, fast.

In 1940 there were 20,000,000 unemployed and hungry men, but it took a draft to force them into service. In all 16,000,000 were drafted and I assure you, no one was that hungry to be willing to be killed for nothing.

The important words were; world wide. The US government cares not one whit where the cannon fodder comes from now.

It is a brave new world today.
