Marine Ready Reserves Called Up For Iraq

While polls indicate that most Americans want the US to start withdrawing from Iraq, the Bush administration has quietly raised the level of troops to 138,000, an increase of 11,000 since the beginning of the year. And it is calling back into service those who have completed their 4 year active duty requirement and are currently in the Ready reserves because of a shortage of volunteers. The Army has been doing this for a while and now the Marines have been "forced" to. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060823/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/marines_call_up

There seems to be no end in sight for this open ended commitment. But with the majority now supporting setting a timetable for withdrawal, how long will it be before supporters of the war suffer political consequences (like Joe Lieberman did)?

well i think u are wrong on many accounts there pal. If u go through and read the Bible then u will slowly come to see that this war has no end until God Himself declares the time upon us. those of us support the war are also the ones not suffering from "liberalism" so tell me what other falsettos u hear so i may present a valid argument against them

Less than three months, unless of course the United States has grown entirely inured to pain, suffering, torture and death.There used to be a humanism in that country, a dislike of violence in general, and a desire to be on the right side of the moral choice. No longer.
I'm afraid that November won't bring the change the polls say it should.

True .. it seems no end is in sight and I don't expect to see it end in my lifetime.

Does that mean that you just role over for these pricks?

Regardless what the majority may support the war will continue until we kick there ass' back to Mecca.

They WON'T quit and therefore we can't.

Specifically:

If Lieberman doesn't get re-elected, you lose; if he does get re-elected, you win. If he pulls out (as he is being pressured to), the bet is not cancelled. OK?
