Someone mentioned to me that Turkey and the US has quietly resolved the issue concerning troops being deployed from US bases in Turkey. Then they told me to look around at the quiet signs that something is brewing, like today's announcement that Iran has restarted it's nuclear program. So I did a search and found this piece that I don't recall from the evening news. http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=89033 - Link I had been told that Iraq was a "warm-up" that went worse than expected, so maybe it was...whatcha think? ------------- [IMG]http://hometown.aol.com/hlwrangler/myhomepage/revised5_copy.jpg"> ""...the Marines we have there now could crush the city and be done with business in four days."--LtGen Conway on Fallujah |

We don't have the resources to invade Iran. We're WAY to far spread between Iraq and Afghanistan (some people seem to forget that is still going on). We would need a full troop withdrawal from both in order to even think about it which won't happen for years. -------------

Troops are being redirected everyday from places like South Korea and Japan. Just when you think you have it figured out, it changes. You have to consider that we sent about 1/3 or so troops to Iraq the second time around and not nearly as many NG, so nothing is impossible. We have resources when we "need" them. ------------- [IMG]http://hometown.aol.com/hlwrangler/myhomepage/revised5_copy.jpg"> ""...the Marines we have there now could crush the city and be done with business in four days."--LtGen Conway on Fallujah |

we wouldnt need a draft, it takes a man with some balls to start a war and pres. bush did just that. we have so many troops between fulltime and reserves we wouldnt need the draft.

I do however support the "defend the motherland thing". Instead of invading other countries lets start invading here in America. Lets invade the school system , lets invade the social security and welfare system. What about poverty. We give billions of dollars to other countries for food and stuff which is nice but lets spend that money on people here in America. No more out sourcing. We are digging own grave here. Spend more money here in America and we will prosper. Let the middle east solve there own problems. Hey if it comes down between a civil was over there let it be done. We had one and you might remember we pretty much settled are problems. They are the same crooks,thieves, and liars we have in are government if they cant deal with it then move! So what if we lose oil partners. We got Alaska and we can use more fuel efficent cars. Oil is going to dry up some day and that day is coming. We must plan for the furture.

^Just....Shut up...^(the "it takes balls kid") Anyway yeah, it's lookin that way and if God hates us as much as Pat Robertson says he does it'll oughta happen sometime next week. And I don't care what you people say, there have been high up Army generals saying that we're spread thin as it is, if we go into Iran I got it at least 100/1 there will be a draft. Of course maybe Europe will help us out if this crap hits the fan because it would ya know....sorta make sense....Still, we'd be hard pressed to do it with our current forces. And this 20 casualities a day crap would be history too.....If you people that are religious want to pull a favor for us non-believers now would be the time.... Oh and I'd say if it does happen it'll start with Isreal. Maybe we'll stop backing them at every damn chance and let them handle themselves for once but I doubt it......I can here the Armagedon screamers now... ps I heart Amishman!

it takes many things to take the first swing. of that, yes, someone needs balls. as well as confidence, planning, support, and materials. not to mention money to get it all going and maintain it. not to mention a somewhat larger than normal ego, boosted morality and of course, determination. war is expensive but as an economic principle, war is good for the economy. any country winning a war experiences a bit of an economic boost. of course, the loser suffers. no i don't think we need to do much more over there other than stabilize iraq and then get the hell out. btw guys let's remember we aren't at war with iraq. congress never declared war. -------------

I see the Isrealis using some of the bunker buster bombs we sold them within the next two years. If Iraq had been handled correctly we might be in a position to do something about Iran militarily. Like if we hadn't disbanded the Iraqi Army and used them to regain order in a hurry before the looting got out of control. That set us back YEARS. That was probably the bonehead move of the decade. We don't currently have the option of invading Iran without a very strong coalition, meaning Iran would have to seriously upset the Europeans, which with the crap their President has been spewing about the holocaust, is actually possible. Diplomacy is our only real option at this point, that and waiting for Isreal to bomb their nuke program back a few years. Any coalition against Iran could not be made up of more than 50% American Infantry and have a chance of being politically sucessful. We could probably get away with using our logistics more heavily than coalition forces. I of course, base this figure on entirely nothing. |

I think we all agree we should have had an exit plan for Iraq. If we actually invade Iran I will be very surprised. I would be even more surprised if they give the go ahead for the draft (they remember how well that went over for vietnam.). We should be keeping a closer eye on China, instead of Irans nuclear program. But then I think of what they will bomb with the nuclear power. Isreal... Then we will have to go in and help. But I think we will just give them weapons then an actual invasion. |

i agree we need a better exit plan/strategy. but i don't think the operations have gone exactly the way we expected from the start. they removed a cruel dictator from power, expected. didn't find wmd's, unexpected. discovered the potential/capacity for making wmd's, expected. remained in the country for this long, unexpected. finally, acting as a temporary police force, expected. they had an exit strategy. they just didn't plan to be there this long or take on this much responsibility... i supported moving into iraq because i believed like many other people around the globe there were wmd's present. now that we didn't find them and our plans changed, i support getting out as soon as we can. i'm uncomfortable that we just kinda bust in their country, rearranged the government, blew a bunch of crap up, and failed to accomplish our goal of finding the weapons. but i am satisfied sadam is out of power. have any of you seen the victims testify to the jailings/punishment/torture? some testimonies are very detailed....very vivid and moving. the best thing for america is to just lay low, not be too active on the foreign political front, and let others deal with life. if something major happens like another world war, more attempted genocides, or anything requiring UN assistance then we are needed. other than that, we're over here. they're over there and let's leave it that way. -------------

After where done in Iraq we need to pull out and rethink our anti terrorism stratigy. terrorism is going to be here 10 years from now. we need to stop sending billions to helping other countries where our problems are growing. i cant stand that after 9/11 or katrina we didnt get vary much foriegn money but when some thing happends out side the US we are expected to fork out more money that everyone.

I say we with drawl from Iraq, Afganistan,Korea, and all these other countries. Didnt we have a "war on drugs". That campaign was bull crap. Take the dudes we have over seas place them over here to protect the borders of America. I guarantee there would be less crime rate here in America. Why?? you ask. Drugs cause alot of crimes in this country. Protect the borders less drugs and people smuggled over here. People who are in under devloped cities who cant go into any colleges or who think they have no furture turn to a life of crime. Selling drugs, robbery, murder, and so on and so forth. If you give those people an alternative you can get them to be a productive member of society. Joing the army would be a great alternative for those people. If we cant rely on America to protect us from drugs and drug related crimes maybe we should ask Chuck Norris to help us. &nb sp; Chuck!!!! help. ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

By the way, who thinks that there are already special forces teams in
Iran blowing stuff up? I do, I mean the SF Teams we sent into Iraq
before they ever said we were going to war had like a quarter of the
country taken over before we ever officially went in, I don't see why
we wouldn't do so stuff under the radar....'Course...Iran could attack
us in Iraq if we make them angry and they're nuts enough to do so, so
there are somewhat higher stakes at hand in blowing up Iranian gear
right now....

Here is the issue young geopoliticians in training, Isreal is in real tough shape politically right now. It is splitting and Sharon's condition is not helping. What if he dies tomorrow? You know who is coming back (most likely), big daddy Netanyahu and he is PO'd. The West Bank reoccupation will begin and if he thinks that Iran is even close to a threat, let the preemptive strikes begin. What does this mean for us. Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon will have a Jihad card and use it. The US will have to keep its pledge to defend poor Isreal. This can all be avoided if the US takes action first with the failure to meet UN's demands issue and in the name of the UN Security Council.
China? Who said China? China is slowly adopting "western" ways and is a role model for rogues like NK right now.

.Ryan, spying? We spy on our closest allies, its the game you have to play. We give these nations military "secrets" all the time, even to China (cough*Clinton*cough). Some of the biggest "issues" we have with spying are with ISRAEL! To predict where our biggest concerns are I think it would serve you best to read into the language (tough talk) that is used when our leaders talk about other nations. Its Iran all day now. Three years ago, Iraq, Iran, and NK. Pattern?
Before someone else points it out, I know I have spelled Israel wrong a lot.

You have a point. I don't know, maybe I'm just letting a bit of
personal animosity for China cloud me a bit or maybe I just like to
think about conflict in terms of major power vs. major power like it
used to be......But yeah, we could do that Jus, ofcourse Iran would
prolly invade then we'd "have" to go defend them and it'd be just as
bad anyway.....Actually, maybe we should do it before Isreal does so
they don't invade them? Or just be all Splinter Cell about it and cause
the thing to melt down "by accident" or something....

Ya know though, if a major war did break out in the mideast and the

if stuff went south with Iran and Isreal, maybe we could start from
scratch and rebuild the damn thing like we did with Europe under the
Marshal plan. Either that or finally get tired of spending American
blood and treasure to try and "fix" them and quit so we can worry about
our own country for a while....either way would work for
me....especially the second one....

Thats right, because we all know its some big government conspiracy.. By the way most covert operations units, the ones that never existed are pulled from standard infantry and other units, not from SOCOM. SOCOM is tight knit group, so people wonder when 10 men suddenly dissaper from the ranks. So people are pulled from infantry units, given the training needed then inserted where need be. It is easier to lose a man in an orginization 50,000 strong, than an orginization of 2,000. -------------

The whole "dependency on foreign oil" argument for ANWR drilling is fallacious. Crude is a commodity that is traded internationally. Oil companies are international entities. You buy your gasoline from BP/Amoco, which is a US/UK conglomorate, or from Citgo, which is owned by the Venezuelan government, or from ConocoPhillips, which is a US company with operations around the world. Those companies in turn buy crude from a variety of sources, and drill for their own as well. Are there politics in the petroleum business? Of course - but this whole idea that "we" get "our" oil from "them" is contrary to the facts of the global commodities economy. ANWR drilling will provide additional revenue to the Alaskans and to whatever private companies buy the drilling rights, but it is downright false to say that it will have any meaningful impact on national security. Oil is oil - doesn't matter where it comes from. At most, ANWR drilling will result in a tiny tiny reduction in the global price of crude. Moreover, even if you did accept the falsehood of "teh furren oil", ANWR drilling would only be a drop in the bucket of our national crude usage. Which, of course, leads to the crude vs. refined distinction. The US government is a large user of refined petroleum products - but hardly uses any crude oil, and doesn't own any refineries. Even if the government owned a bucket of crude oil, it would still be beholden to the owners of the refineries and distribution systems. Now, what makes more sense is to say that we wish to reduce our dependency on oil, generally. If we were free of oil we would also be free of the economic politics surrounding oil. ANWR drilling, of course, does nothing to free us from our petro-culture. There are many fine reasons to drill in ANWR. "Freeing us from foreign oil" is not one of them. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

And I hope you wake up to reality....I don't care about the carabo but Alaska has all of like 6 months worth of crude in it so it'll just be a bandaid that wont solve anything at all. Hell, it's not like we're gonna stop buying oil from the Arabs for that six months anyway, probably wont even decrease our orders. But I'm just gonna stop there because if I start getting into the rest of the stuff you talked about I might have to cry my self to sleep tonight.

Social security reform? What exactly do you propose? "Reform" simply means "change". Flat tax - are you really sure you want that? While simplifying the tax code may be a good idea, much would be sacrificed with a truly flat tax. (not that anybody has actually proposed an actual tax yet) Education reform - same question. You imply that some great change is needed. What is this change? I have some ideas myself, but would love to hear what exactly you have in mind. |

Whilst I agree that the draft would probably never happen, its still possible. Never say never I guess. BTW, how do you plan to avoid the draft?

There's where the system becomes ridiculous.

I just believe that's not right. If a draft is issued, there's no way in hell, they could FORCE me to join.

Bolt, I seriously doubt if it comes to a draft they will be lining the draft dodgers up along the wall with all those pock-marks and blood stains on it. Not to say draft dodgers wont be punished, but you'll have a choice, fight, or accept the consequences of avoiding the draft. Crappy choices are still choices. Besides, there's always consciencious objector status. Failing that just start reponding to the voices in your head out loud Nobody wants a draft, especially not the military. They don't even like training recruits that suck, let alone ones that don't want to be there. However, the way I'm seeing it, if the draft ever was reinstated, considering how unpopular that would be, it'd have to be for a serious situation, like actualy invasion of US soil, and I doubt many people would dodge the draft then. |

Well, the COULD send you to jail. Because it IS a law that if you dont join you get punished. Not sure exactly what the punishment is though. |

I'm not saying I'm a "Draft-Dodger". I'm just saying I see no point in fighting for something you don't believe in. I was applying the draft to the Iraq war. Sorry for any confusion. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules> |

What's the difference between fighting a war you think is just as opposed to fighting a war you think is unjust? When it comes down to it, when you're being shot at, you won't care. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

It took the national gaurd 4 days to make it into New Orleans. It took a few hours for hundreds of news anchors and camera men. The armed forces of our great nation are a joke with all the procedures and terrible leadership skills. "Military Intelligence is 2 words combined that don't make sense"-Dave Mustane(Megadeath) so, in conclusion we will ruin our nation, Lose many more soldiers, and show the rest of the world that we are not truly fit for outside our border combat just like in Veitnam, kosuvo, Afganistan and Iraq. I must apoligize to those who serve our country if offended by this but, The truth hurts. -------------

^ Hate to tell you guys, but America has mastered the art of war. We would be hard pressed to find a single country that could defeat us in all out balls to the wall war. Things regarding New Orleans were, complicated. I am far too exhausted to go into that now, but I think I remember the director of FEMA taking responsibility for said screw-ups. |
