6. I've read they might change the deployment 'rules' for the Nat'l
Guard. Also discussed today, it could take years to get the full compliment trained and ready. So guess who will be long gone.

11. worse - he will extend the stays of those already in theater and will reduce the time home
for those who have just returned....

LIEberman said that even those who oppose the surge should let it happen - what's the worst thing possible, he mused, political fallout in '08?
No unholy Joe - the worst thing possible is an escalation in the death toll of Iraqi and "coalition" people.....

17. No question that Lieberman is a lot of things. Certainly a patriotic American.
Unfortunately, in his prioritizing of things, he is a patriotic American dead last, following all the other things he holds dear.

20. unHoly Joe is not what I would call a patriotic American.... he places his own ego above all
Right now his ego is hoping that siding with bush will land him on the McCain pres ticket in 2008.

He cares not a bit about the death and destruction that bushco cause in our name.

23. Bullshit, "Joementum" doesn't even put America first, let alone be patriotic
Joe's idea of being a patriot is the "P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act he invented and promoted.

14. My guess is that they'll cut the home time short.
From everything I've heard, people who are deployed are supposed to have one year at home in between deployments. I can't see anywhere else he could possibly find 20,000 troops but to cut those leaves short and send the same guys back in.

16. I have the answer right here >
They can take all the boomers like "me" , this will kill two birds with one stone , something Cheney would not consider since he likes to kill lots of birds at once .

But really , kill off the boomers and this also fixes the social security problem we have somehow created .

After all we are considered the cause of all problems today and we are still for the most part walking and talking .

21. For starters, the CT Dems who voted for Lieberman.
Surely, they are ready to put their bodies where their votes are.

Right?
