That should be a priority issue. This scam is just feeding the military machine with kids who think there is nothing better out there to do than go off and kill Iraqi kids. This practice should stop immediately.

1. Funny....
I think the priority on No Child Left Behind is throwing it out entirely and putting something that works in its place.

2. Is this within their power?
A lot of DUers think that all the Congress has to do is hold a vote, and the President must obey. In reality, it's closer to the other way around.

I am concerned that the Congress' hands will be tied -- and they'll pretend they're just being nice to the Boy King. The worst of both choices.

4. It has to be made an issue. The Dems can do that if they want to
I think most Americans with kids or grandkids in school would take our position on this over Bush's if it was explained to them correctly.

5. There is no better job than killing Iraqi kids because of offshoring?
Please tell me you are being sarcastic. And if you are you are good at it.
