Vote to bring the troops home passes! It may be symbolic but it's a real Bill

How about for those who voted against the Bill to put a date certain for U.S. Troop withdrawal from Iraq, that we send their sons and daughters to Iraq until they vote to end this war (and that includes the Bush daughters).

I also advise that those that truly support us being there either sign up yourself, or send your own sons and daughters and sisters and brothers there instead. Why are people not signing up to join the military to join this war if it was so noble a cause? If this were truly important to our country, the American people would get it and we wouldn't have such a shortage of troops and having to use dubious tactics to get young kids to sign up. Wake up! Either try and implement a Draft or get out. We are breaking our military daily.

Now that I think about it, shouldn’t the Commander in Chief be leading the charge there rather than from Washington. Heck, Cheney knows how to shoot people too. Bring him with you, Mr. President!

Pentagon says they need more troops but where to find them?

It is a difficult problem to solve indeed but there are some ways to get more fresh troops to Iraq where needed. For one thing, I believe the Commander of all troops should be willing to serve with his troops. I'm not talking about General Petraeus. I'm talking about President Bush. I think if he were with his troops more on a permanent basis, he could determine first hand whether the Democrats call for withdrawal was supporting the troops or not. It is difficult for him to accurately assess views like this without a closer eye on the problem. Heck, I would even be willing to pay for his body armor personally. But if he uses a Humvee to get around Iraq, I can't afford to provide the necessary protection and add more armor to the vehicle. I just had my car fixed and it cost me $2,700. That's the problem isn't it? When the bank account gets depleted, you can't afford even the basics. It's probably too late to reverse all those tax cuts even if you are the Commander in Chief, and besides your buddies and Dick's at Halliburton wouldn't appreciate that reversal even if you did need money to pay for more troops, body armor and training etc. But that's OK, as I'm sure the troops will protect you, especially non-coms.
