roll Do you think we are heading down the same way as this film. If you could get big bucks by going to work in Iraq, would you???

What would it take for you to consider it
Not a chance.

My brother gets to go next October. He was already there for the invasion but there's only so many soldiers to go around, as we will be seeing here in more detail quite shortly.
I wouldn't go for any price.

What would it take? Being offered $10 million cash, a big stack of bodyguards, several armoured cars and not having to actually go outside of the Green Zone ever.

A gun to my head.

Has the US military any answer to the present security problem in Iraq?

The latest to pull out are doctors Medecins Sans Frontieres

Has the US government got deep enough pockets to either sustain the present level of military involvement, or increase it without some sort of draft?

Apart from trying to keep oil flowing, little seems to have been done to make ordinary Iraqis feel secure.
What happened to all that rebuilding that was promised?

And Bush still talks of tax cuts.

The next 4 years could be a nightmare for America. And Kerry wouldn't have been able to do anything different.

All because Bush believed Saddam was responsible for 911. It may have won him the election, but it will take more than simplistic rhetoric to win the peace.
The latest I read was that Hungary and Holland are leaving George and his Army in Iraq.
So that's about 10 less troops then -?
