rummy the dummy: we got plenty of troops for lots more wars

[welshTerrier2]

remember that commercial: "munch all you want; we'll make more"??

well, if the US was a snack manufacturer, rumsfeld's latest gibberish might be remotely credible ... but after seeing all the gimmicks the Pentagon's been using to patch together a force in Iraq, ain't nobody gonna believe nothing rumsfeld has to say about US troop strength ...

and a draft? they might want to do it but it would have no chance of flying with already running scared republicans ... Americans are sick of the endless war and we're sick of the endless militarism ...

is rummy ginning up the war machine for a "go" at Iran??

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned potential adversaries on Monday that the United States remained capable of responding to military threats at home and abroad, despite its troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"We are capable of dealing with other problems were they to occur," he told troops at an airfield in the Nevada desert.

"It would be unfortunate if other countries thought that because we have 136,000 troops in Iraq today, that we're not capable of defending our country or doing anything that we might need to do," he said in response to a question about military options for dealing with Iran.

More than three years into the Iraq war, the military is showing signs of stress. The Army and Marine Corps, in particular, must spend tens of billions of dollars to replace and repair equipment. Army officials have said the combat readiness of many units and their ability to take on new missions have suffered. <skip>

2. What's a "country"? I thought we were all global?

What's to protect with protectionism in terms of "country" if everything is being rewritten to a new, "globalized" standard?
