Pentagon extends tour of Marines in Afghanistan

The Pentagon has extended the tour of 2,200 Marines in Afghanistan, after insisting for months the unit would come home on time.

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is doing combat operations in the volatile south, will stay an extra 30 days and come home in early November rather than October, Marine Col. David Lapan confirmed Thursday.

That is what happens when you raise your right hand and take an oath. Most liberals have no idea what that means.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not meant to be "won" in the traditional sense.They are meant to drag on indefinitely,providing the Western imperialist powers to stay and control the oil flow directly and provide profits to the corporate world.As in Vietnam,except for the oil.

Wow imagine that...yet another example of Bush and his cronies using US soldiers to stroke their own draft dodging egos.Havent we been told for months that Afghanistan is doing well and now all of a sudden....OOPS!....same with Iraq ..doing well according to Bush but the real story coming out of there is much different.
With both fronts in a quagmire ,and his legacy building days coming to a close,Bush decides to sacrifice a few more US soldiers to prop up this war mess until he can scuttle back to Texas where he will then write a book claiming how he won ,not one,but two wars.
I feel sorry for anyone who cast a vote for George Dubya Bush......because you are a bigger dumb ass than he is.
WELL SAID! ITS JUST TOO BAD!!!!..OUR DEMOCRACY CAN"T RID BUSH!!!..

.. LIKE a tick he is sucking.. BLOOD AND MONEY FROM THE tax payer!!

However historically ...when so many innocent lives are lost...the bad guy will sooner or later loose!! and pay that... big price!!!

Bush ...is desperately trying to position a positive "Legacy" before he leaves office..!!

Forceful Occupation of Iraq ...and killing of 750,000 defenseless...innocent civilians ...is not what he wants!!

If Bush had paid attention in college, he would have learned that it is extremely hard to win wars when fighting on two fronts.

Hitler learned that lesson the hard way and at his own expense.

Huh? You use this story to crack on liberals? How pathetic. Get a grip, this is about Bush and the military not being able to recruit bodies because of IRAQ!

We need the bodies on our own border since we are under invasion. I dont care the invaders are unarmed and civilian, or if the walk backward and say they are leaving, we are getting colonized by an inferior culture for lack of balls to stop it. Disgusting!

I suppose those officers in the Pentagon raised their right hand and a took the same oath. Why is they can lie to the troops for months (you are going home in October) then tell them November and no one is supposed to say a word. If I say we have no business there, then I am told I don't support the troops. Which one of us is not supporting the troops here?

Untested administration hawks clamor for war
Beware of war hawks who never served in the military.
http://tinyurl.com/yvkumd
That, in essence, was the message of retired four-star Marine Corps general Anthony Zinni, a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam War and the White House point man on the Middle East crisis. Zinni is one of a growing number of uniformed officers, in and out of the Pentagon, urging caution on the issue of a pre-emptive strike against Iraq.

In an address recently in Florida, he warned his audience to watch out for the administration's civilian superhawks, most of whom avoided military service as best they could.
"If you ask me my opinion," said Zinni, referring to Iraq, "Gen.(Brent) Scowcroft, Gen.(Colin) Powell, Gen.(Norman) Schwarzkopf and Gen. Zinni maybe all see this the same way.
It might be interesting to wonder why all of the generals see it the same way, and all those (who) never fired a shot in anger (and) are really hellbent to go to war see it a different way. "That's usually the way it is in history," he said.

US needs to get out of Iraq & Afghanistan.

Those wars,
along with speculators
and China & India's increased use of oil (which is out of our control)

are the reasons for the high price of oil.

Oil Cos, like any corporation,
do not like unstable areas.

Thus the high price of oil.

I am quite sure that this was by popular demand and request?

C'mon Bush. You've spilled way too much blood for the benefit of your oil rich friends and lest we forget the Rockefellers!
