1. We'll see.

2. Like Monk says.

We'll see.

They goddam well BETTER, though.

3. Doubling them is still a 'drop in the bucket'

it would take at least a half million more to do anything and he won't do that cause he would have to have a draft for it.

5. Anyone know how many mercenaries

we have there?

8. I heard yesterday that it was estimated at about 100,000 mercs

I wonder just how many Americans in all are over there. Half a million? One million?

You've got the 120,000-130,000 military, thousands of mercenaries, State Department staff at one of the world's largest embassies, fleets of truck drivers, construction workers building bunkers and concrete walls around our bases, oil company workers trying to keep the oil flowing, businessmen from a multitude of enterprises, religious workers and missionaries, armies of journalists from every major U.S. newspaper and TV network. I'm sure there are more types of Americans over there that I haven't mentioned.

4. Why the hell didn't someone ask months ago?

"Sir, does this 22,000 troops include all support personnel? Or are you counting just combat troops? What total Iraq personnel increase does this proposal entail?"

Damn.

6. Well... I Think I'll Start Taking Some Bets!

This comment may be irrelevant to the thread, BUT I'm going to be in D.C. on March 17th JUST BECAUSE!!

I have been planning to go all along, but now I don't even care what it costs me anymore! I just MUST be there no matter what! I have a couple of credit cards that have almost no balance and if I have to bust the budget... it's gonna happen! Not only because I want to stick a couple of fingers in some eyes, but I also will call my "so called" Representative and get special passes for the White House, IF they are still available. Oh, I forgot... not really sure IF my Representative was actually elected legally, his name is Vern Buchanan from the District that sort of, kind of LOST 18,000 votes!! You know... of the LATE GREAT Cruella herself!

And most importantly, I'm bringing my grand-daughter with me and just might set a "not so great" example for her, but I just can't take this S--T anymore.

Might be my last attempt to say FU, but I'm going for BROKE! Well, maybe just $1,000.00 worth of debt anyway!

Isn't there some FREAK out there with an ax to grind or something??

7. I hope I never hear Bush say that a giant asteroid will not hit the earth

If I hear that I'll have to start kissing my ass good-bye.
