hannity today was talking about IRANNNNN

[greenbriar]

I am telling you folks, its on the menu...closer than we think

[Jack_Dawson]

1. So is THE DRAFT

n/t

[Kikosexy2]

2. I'm ready...

with my lighter...to burn my draft card.

[greenbriar]

3. I know

I told all the repukes I work with that the draft would be enacted by the end of 2005 they all said "but bush said no"


I bet them each a 100 dollars...


wish they would hurry up and vote it in, i could use the thousand bucks to pay off a bill

[Jack_Dawson]

4. You bet 10 people $100?

LOL that crax me up.

[greenbriar]

5. yea

.

[BOSSHOG]

8. "But bush said"

Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Go a year in the future - But bush said social security was in crisis?

Look em in the eye, poke em in the chest, kick em in the ass.

[oneold1-4u]

17. Wished I did that

I could afford a thousand loss but I want odds from all those dumb enough to doubt. They are certainly sure enough that bush is president and god, so maybe 10-1???

[LittleClarkie]

19. I was less ambitious

-$5
-by the end of Bush's second term
-Iran or Syria
-one guy

[OneTwentyoNine]

23. Yep,BUSH 04/DRAFT05

[greenbriar]

24. thats what I said

but they don't think it will happen

[Roland99]

29. I'm going to laugh my ass off when that happens

all of those video game jockeys rooting for Bush's Yee-Haw foreign policy will be strapping on body armor and eating MREs

[DaCheat]

6. Wonderful....

I am hovering around draft age. We sophmores, at my high school, are going to go to Disney World for our vacation Senior Year. Looks like I will be going to Tehran.

[ashmanonar]

15. no, you're not draft age...

they come after the 20 year olds first...which means me. unless i can flunk the medical test...maybe i should just act neurotic, they won't take me on psychological grounds...:D

[DaCheat]

18. Not Yet, But Soon

I may not be in the invading force, but I bet two years down the raod they will need occupation forces. I am not optimistic about it, but I will probably end up somewhere on account of the Bush administration sometime before college.

Hell, they've got recruiters coming almost everyday, in fact, they've already talked to the Freshmen about signing up the first days of school.

[Jack_Dawson]

20. Become Gay

That helps, from what I understand. Or throw your back out golfing out of the rough at Torrey Pines. That works too.

[greenbriar]

22. I hear anal cysts also keep you out

and I for one would not need to "verify" that particular ailment ;)

[arewenotdemo]

26. so many Repuke chickenhawks

so many ways to avoid the draft...

[Mist]

25. Would that old trick of painting your toenails work? n/t

[TheFarseer]

30. How old is too old?

I'm 26. Surely that isn't safe yet.

[ashmanonar]

33. actually you're good.

26 is the cutoff. they go for 20 year olds first, then 21, then i believe they hit 22 and 23, then go for 19 and 18. they only go for the older (24/25/26) if it's an extended draft.

[pstans]

35. I'm 24

I am glad that I won't have to be running for the Canadian border.

[ashmanonar]

36. yea.

don't take my info as gospel tho. check it out for yourself! then you don't have to worry.

the thing is, i've seen the opinion on the draft as going both ways...there will be bc bush is an evil heartless bastard, and there won't be bc bush is a coward who doesn't want the nation rising up against him...

but who knows what the future brings?

[marmar]

7. Clearly ...

the buildup has begun. I just wonder what kind of bullshit reasons they'll come up with for an invasion. Perhaps, "to protect Iran from gay marriage" OR "to make sure abortion NEVER becomes legal."

[greenbriar]

9. I have been saying it all along that IRAn then N Korea

but when bush talked about Iran in the state of the lie address like he talked about Iraq 3 years ago, I know we were going in

[rodeodance]

13. Bush does not need to talk of Irag-he has FoX talk instead-same thing

[ExclamationPoint]

10. I hope he drafts his dam republicans first!

:mad:
Then at least the people going to Iraq/Iran (Only one letter off the first time!) will in a way have deserved what they got.

[greenbriar]

12. whenever any of my freeper friends complain about bush, I hand em

recruitment papers

[Pirate Smile]

16. I love that response. Everybody should use it. If they are too old, then

their children or grandchildren can go.

[tsuki]

11. I am getting the feeling that Bush is bored with Iraq and wants to move

on. Spoiled little rich boy.

[Pirate Smile]

14. I believe some Repubs are trying to introduce some legislation in the

Congress about Iran.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=1211874
WASHINGTON — Though the Bush administration denies it has any designs on changing Iran's theocracy, members of Congress are planning ways to assist in a possible "regime change."

Movements are afoot in both the House and Senate to pass legislation that would enable the U.S. government to support foreign and domestic pro-democracy groups opposed to the current Islamic republic of Iran.

Aides for Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said the senator is drafting legislation that would resemble a bill he introduced in the last congressional session, the "Iran Freedom and Support Act." (search) Though the language in the new bill is being worked out, it is expected to echo the prior bill in that it would include financial assistance for opposition groups. The original bill did not make it to the Senate floor.

"By supporting the people of Iran, and through greater outreach to pro-democracy groups, we will hopefully foster a peaceful transition to democracy in Iran," Santorum said in a statement regarding his new proposal. "The bill also notes the futility of working with the Iranian government."

[greyXstar]

21. There's no doubt

Der Furher said the same thing to the Iranians that he said to the Iraqis in the State of Delusion a couple years ago. Maybe changing your voting registration to repug will save you from the draft.

[CrispyQ]

27. But, but, but . . .

Condi says no, it's not on the agenda.

And we can believe her, right???????????

[Guaranteed]

28. I just realized- I made it to 2005.

I turn 26 this year. I can't be drafted. :)

Lucky me!

[MattG]

32. However . . .

Didn't Iran actually have links to Al-Quaeda and WMD's? I heard that on the Daily Show, so it MUST be true.


Actually, the Daily SHow is probably more accurate than the other major news outlet. I do like CNN and my local CBS affiliate though. MSNBC is quickly becoming just as conservative as FOX News (and MSNBC was known for being a liberal news outlet; I guess they're trying to kill that image)

[Anakin Skywalker]

31. Sean Hannity, One of Many

of the Cheerleaders for Bush team.

[Telly Savalas]

34. Maybe Clinton-style bombing raids, but not a full-scale invasion.

Iran has a population nearly 3 times greater than that of Iraq. Hence the only way to get the manpower necessary to pull off an invasion would be via a draft. Suggestions of a draft would raise a shitstorm within the Department of Defence. Ya really think the military wants their numbers quadrupled with a bunch of new people that don't want to be there? Behind the scenes, top military brass would fight tooth and nail against this.

Even if they can miraculously get the DoD behind them enough to push a draft, the backlash from the public would be enormous. Most of the dumbfucks who voted for Bush cause they thought he'd make their sons and daughters safer are bright enough to realize that shipping them off to the other side of the world to get shot at could perhaps entail some danger. While the Bush Administration has pulled a lot of shit over the last 4 years, most of these actions don't have the sort of direct and immediate impact on the lives of the majority of Americans that a draft does. Ya wanna get a bunch of suburban soccer moms taking to the streets to protest? Kidnap their daughters and sons and ship 'em to Iran.
