This is the last time we will send you back over there and extend your tours I promise. I am the President of the United States you can trust me…. Oh wait, never mind back to the front again.

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON – The Army is stretched so thin by the war in Iraq that it is again extending the combat tours of thousands of soldiers beyond the promised 12 months — the second such move since August.
The extension reflects a dilemma for Army leaders: either keep one group of soldiers in Iraq longer than promised, or replace them with another group that has not yet had its minimum 12 months at home between combat tours. Either choice risks upsetting some soldiers and their families. And the fact that the choice cannot be avoided is a sign that troop rotations in Iraq are squeezing the Army from several directions.
Some members of Congress are expressing concern that the military is over-stretched by the war. On Monday, Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., said the situation in Iraq is “disintegrating” into a civil war.
H.L.s Take
Thats right Arlen, pretend you care enough to raise a stink about it, but then cave in at the last minute like you always do. How many tours will these soldiers have to do before they start speaking out against the colossal monkey failure that their mission is. Most of them still Love Bush and are happy to die for him.

Since the US military needs more troops, will all you Repubs and Dems that support war please sign up and go away?

The situation in Iraq is out of control. Iraq will have it’s civil war and it will be out of our control to do anything about it.
