Suicides, Mental Health Issues Increasing Among Troops Deployed In Iraq

<snip>

President Bush said yesterday that he is considering a short-term surge in troops in Iraq, an option that top generals have resisted. Among the options under review by the White House is sending 15,000 to 30,000 more troops to Iraq for six to eight months.

Forget the fact that Americans overwhelmingly oppose such a decision. Can our military be stretched any thinner -- even for a period of a few months?

1. Ask any "conservative" scholar and they will tell you
the troops are just faking anything they say they have and many accidents are classified as suicide by the evil liberal media influence. "Conservatives" do not give one flying dog fuck about our kids in Iraq; their only concern is last minute Christmas Shopping. As long as they have no skin in the game and "ragheads" continue to die its fine and dandy with supporters of the party of honesty and integrity.

You have to wonder what piece of information will get through to the neocons, if any?
