1. So what military force

is going to be left in the US? I have an answer but I don't like it. BlackWater?:tinfoilhat:

3. And for the first time...I agree legal residents of the US should

have guns to protect their homes and their families....I know it's crazy but if Blackwater is the group that is armed against the citizens.....then US citizens are in danger.

2. You were under the impression that a withdrawal was underway?

It's a surge -- an increase in troops.

But, yes, Bush has said time and again that we will be in Iraq when he leaves office.

4. And we will be.

In Iraq.

Chisel it in stone.

5. Might as well call it what it is.......escalation.

Extending tour times, stop loss, 35,000 more troops to Iraq.
It'll be a cold day in hell before we get out of there if they keep funding the fiasco.
