So how do the Freepers handle this one?

[Montauk6]

Rummy's base-closing proposals... DURING WARTIME????????!!!!!!

Or is this Clinton's fault as well?

1. How about Thune having to ask Daschle for help

To save South Dakota's base, considering how he ran on his supposed "influence" with the Chimp in that regard?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :rofl:

[wli]

2. there are several motivations

1. economically punishing Democratic areas
2. emptying bases to use as REX 84 prisons and slave labor camps
3. shifting military personnel overseas for new offensives
4. geographically dispersing military bases for defensive purposes

3. This is much too complicated an issue for freeps.

They pretty much stick with hating arabs and gay people, and being paranoid about a terrorist attack.

4. "It's Clinton's fault."

"He's the one who took money away from the military. And if Democratic traitors like Cindy Sheehan weren't out there destroying morale, we wouldn't have to close the bases. Anyway, we're not at war, we're just cleaning up in Iraq; and you're a traitor for questioning the president's decisions during wartime. Say, do you believe in abortions? I bet you DO. I bet you EAT FETUSES. Why do you hate the unborn so much?!?! Commies! Terrorists! --There's no use talking to you, you won't listen to FACTS."

6. I swear to you my neighbor (Navy) told me this:

Clinton let the military get so weak, that they now have to close these bases. And that was that. Yes, my jaw was on the ground.

I mean, he didnt hesitate. Wow.

8. Do they also blame Bill for Vietnam?

"He should've refused that medal from JFK unless the then-president ordered an immediate evacuation."
