Drums of War bangin' for Iran?

[AAP]

I don't think that the PR National Guard is an appropriate representative sample of the US military. Do you?

From the last Presidential election:

"In the survey of more than 4,000 full-time and part-time troops, 73% said they would vote for Bush if the election were held today; 18% said they would vote for Kerry. Of the respondents, 59% identified themselves as Republicans, 20% as independents and 13% as Democrats."

Hello, welcome to 3 years ago.

Wonder what their opinions are now that they have learned, like the rest of us, just how deceived they truly were about the entire "war" in the first place.

Ahhh... the lies.. the deception... the scandals... the lack of respect for the sacrifices made in the name of this so called "war"... all those things certainly won't be supporting those #'s you claim above. Heck, November of last year certainly put those claims to rest.

U.S. Troop Support for Bushie

2004 you say 74%

Jan 2, 2005 = down to 63%

Jan 3, 2006 = down to 54 %

Wonder what new lows Bushie would find himself at in the 2007 poll? Oh there it is...

2007 = 35%

Quick stats here :

The latest Military Times poll offers the most telling evidence yet that this is beginning to change. Although the reasons for the recent military flight from the Republican Party can only be guessed at, it's a safe bet that disgust at Bush administration bungling in Iraq is the single biggest factor.

The poll shows that only 35% of military personnel approve of the president's handling of the war.

--

WASHINGTON — Seventy-two percent of troops on the ground in Iraq think U.S. military forces should get out of the country within a year, according to a Zogby poll released Tuesday.

Justin Logan, a foreign policy analyst for the Cato Institute, called the figure alarming, and a sign that the Bush administration and troops in Iraq see the goals and the progress of the war very differently.



(so much for support of Bushies "stay the course" mantra.)

The article says there were 4,000 Nat Guard in attendence. You think the island of PR has 4,000 Nat Guardsman?

It was a National Guard conference held in Puerto Rico, not a conference of Puerto Rican National Guardsman.


and AAP already dealt with the rest of the military ^^

Not unless you get some new candidates to run.

meh, Obama may just be the guy Dude sure has a lot of charisma. I woulndt mind a libra who would leave guns alone, it's not like the budget allows for increasing social programs anyways. I know everyone sees him as ''change'' but wtf is he proposing? I'm sick of hearing of the change and how we've fubar'd the world, how is he or anyone going to bail our economy out when big brother china comes knocking? (seriously asking for an alternative here).

 

[AAP]

Obama won't get the nod.
