Why was this not newsworthy? I have been waiting all day to see it on mainstream media - but there is no coverage.

This "sense of the senate" amendment was passed last night in a 76-22 vote. I doubt it will be too much longer before bush smacks Iran in the face with his almighty "democracy stick".

With our military already depleted, I sense a draft coming on.

Well, they've already raised the age-limit on active recruiting and called people back to active duty from reserve status...they don't have much else to fall back on aside from diverting more troops from other areas.

I don't see Bush pushing that though; he's still trying to scramble to leave himself a "legacy." He'll leave the Iran mess to the incoming administration, I think, barring any major escalation of U.S.-Iran tensions.

What you think we shouldn't get tough with Iran if they start shit? Whats more news worthy in my opinion, was that Hitlery, B. Hussien Obama and silky pony Edwards all said they cant promise to bring the troops home if they were elected president.

He has a legacy set, it will be much more favorable in 50 years when his term is history and not contemporary history. They dont need to draft anyone right now because they are at full recruitment. When they stop turning away people who test positive with drugs, or fucked up knees and shoulders then you will know we are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This is just ordinary liberal wind bagging.

thats right billy - smack em in the face with the democracy stick.

thatll show them whos political ideals are superior.

damn people, with their own damn ideas.

Yeah because they just have ideals... like ya know. Nuking Israel. Fucking moron. Turn off PMSNBC.

If Bush cured cancer tomorrow you'd call him a fascist for it. Eat a dick.

wow - constructive, fr0g, as always.

Billy - as expected you attack the "liberal" media and assume that I subscribe to it. ..

Assumptions: the leading cause of you being a douche bag.

The only expectation anyone had was that you would be sounding the liberal loon alarm when we saw you make this thread. You came through on it, way to not let us down you fucking uneducated goon.

whatever bro -

try and think outside your own little plot of earth - you over-localized warmonger.

WHat exactly are you trying to say with this thread, manifesto? Are you afraid for all our soldiers that they may have to fight a war in Iran soon? Are you afraid that you might be drafted? You're definitely afraid of something. Being afraid is what you people do best.

Hey retard, try thinking about whats good for the country for once, and not what we can do to make shit harder for it, so you can feel better about yourself. Fucking ignorant, uneducated self centered moron.

Dont worry, noone is going to draft you, they have IQ limitations in the military, people like you and Pyrric don't get accepted.

your such a ignorant fucking retard billy - im already working with the state department as a private contractor.

don't insult my intelligence based on your half-assed assumptions.

if you want to have constructive conversation, let me know - id be happy to debate this with you.

Im afraid that my son will have to fight and die in a never ending war for someone to make a quick buck.

so go ahead, tote your flags and raise the battle cry, condemn our children to a lifetime of trying to fix our mistakes. You call me spineless because I dont want to go to war, i call you spineless because you have resorted to violence as a first resort.

the bully isn't brave - hes just a bully.

I will continue to insult your intelligence, or lack thereof because you're a fucking ignorant, uneducated moron. Understand grease monkey?

He moron, if you raise your son to be a big a pussy and conspiracy nut as you are yourself, I'm certain he will dodge any draft thrown his way. So don't worry. I just wonder if you will raise him to hate the country the same way, god I hope he is twice as intelligent as you are and turns out a republican and breaks your bleeding commie heart.

So explain again how the US is making a quick buck off of this War?
