Bush would accept more US troops in Iraq if necessary

[Barrett808]

CHARLOTTE, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush said he would agree to boost the number of US troops in Iraq if commanders saw fit to do so.

In a speech in Charlotte, Bush said he also would accept a reduction in the number of US troops on the ground if that was what commanders said they needed.

"I've got all the confidence in the world in this fine general," Bush said, referring to General George Casey, commander of the coalition forces in Iraq.

"If he says he needs more troops, he'll get them. And if he says he can live with fewer troops because the Iraqis are prepared to take the fight, that's the way it's going to be," Bush said.

1. From where? Are the cloning bases on Kamino taking orders?

4. The Fish Cheer

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Iraqnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

10. Well, it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Iraqnam
Well, it's 5, 6, 7, open up, Pearly Gates
This ain't no time to question why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die

2. See, it's their fault. The generals.

If they aren't asking for enough troops, it's their fault right, the Commander's hands are tied!

3. What a petulant spoiled brat he is

He is so far out of touch with reality -- that I really don't believe that he is conscious.

Hell my dog and cats are more conscious and aware of the world than he is.

HE isn't making the decisions -- he probably has no idea who is really making decisions.

So now the job description for Prez -- take a drugged out dunk and sort of dry him out -- make sure he has a well known parent -- and then anoint him Prez. Yep -- that's the ticket. And then some damned fool idiot will vote for him. And if he happens to have a stroke -- blame it on a pretzel.

5. Can you spell DRAFT?

I doubt he can get it approved, but with all the threats to Iran, they have to be trying. My daughter is too young, but if we get another Repuke in 08, she's going to college in Canada and live with my relatives there.

15. Lucky you - to have relatives in Canada

Our only foreign relatives are in Italy, and my sons are in their teens.

6. Gee, I wonder why we'd need more

US troops in the area!

Notice how healthy his gums are! Look at the hooves, a fine stud of a horse...er...man.

9. Please tell junior we plumb done run out of men, 'eh?

11. I know where he can get two more bright and shining minds to recruit.

I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore

12. I guess that means Jenna and Barbara will be enlisting,

and maybe Jeb's kids too. Or maybe not Jeb's kids, considering the criminal activities they've been involved in over the years.

I'm sure the army would be happy to have that little pissant Shrub nephew that appeared on CNN the other week though.

13. None of them will "SIGN UP"

The military has "PISS IN THE BOTTLE" Drug testing now.

Their casual used of Cocaine, Ecstasy and THC will get them in a whole SHIT LOAD of trouble.

14. Bush about to practice Escalatio, ehh? (NT)
