NBC Nightly News Says Bush Will Announce Troops on Borders Monday Night ->

[Dr. Jones]

NBC Nightly News says they have just received this info. NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS will be deployed according to NBC News.

Whoah...

I predict this is a preventative step before going to war against Iran. That is, securing our open borders first so that Iranian terrorists cannot enter into the U.S. for reprisals.

[CottonBear]

1. Isn't that illegal? Is he talking National Guard or regular troops?

:scared:

[Dr. Jones]

5. National Guard troops according to NBC News...

n/t

[ekelly]

9. And so it begins......

How long before WE won't be allowed to LEAVE this country at all?

The dems have now announced that impeachment is completely off the table.
Good move on their part to win over tired repub voters and swing voters.
However, it also increases the desperation of shrub & co.

Dangerous, very dangerous.

[CottonBear]

2. BushCo is like a dangerous cornered and wounded animal.

:scared:

[BlueManDude]

8. yeah but this will be a very popular move n/t

[cornermouse]

3. How?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he has just about every warm body he could get his hands on already in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Sinti]

18. There are the 1.2 million men and women in the National Guard and Reserves

And many more in the active uniformed services combined. This talk about how weak we are is a ruse.

Art of War... All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our' forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak. that he may grow arrogant.

[cornermouse]

20. Yeah.

That's why we recalled 60 and 70 year old men to go to Iraq...

[Sinti]

24. It's the truth

Here be the link.

Here's another that states the same:

You can find more at the .mil sites if you're interested.

I don't suggest that in any way precludes them from wanting even more cannon fodder, I'm just saying they're not being completely "open kimono" when it comes to this stretched too thin, not enough troop strength problem.

4. This is a Rove move

and it's meant to shore up the base, which has been leaving him in droves.

I think they've decided to take the gambit of losing the Latino vote so they don't hemorrhage seats in the fall. I'd only remind him the net results of Prop 187 in CA....

[malaise]

22. More like Rove diversion

Rove is going down

[xchrom]

6. lol -- oh THIS is going to be good.

the great whore of washington dc has just spread legs for the nuts in this country.

right up there with john gibson telling white folks to pop out more babies.

[electron_blue]

7. moving troops to southern Arizona border just as summer starts up?

And is this to keep frustrated terrorists out, or Americans in?

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Keep Americans in. nt

[spanone]

10. Seems like a lot of trouble to shut up Lou Dobbs.

[KittyWampus]

23. LOL!

:D major spew alert!

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. LOL! I don't think that will work.

:rofl:

[eppur_se_muova]

11. That is SCARY news ... ** has gone plain paranoid bonkers.

I guess it's really fortunate that the Guard has so many Spanish-speaking members.:eyes: Wonder how well this is gonna go down with the troops.

[LSK]

12. Shit! I thought this was about Iran for a second

[Mr_Spock]

13. ...and the reaction? Big fucking whoop - when are you going to jail!!

Bush is toast - what kind of idiotic distraction is this?

[shance]

15. This is the way they take over our country folks. Believe it or be a fool

n/t

[linazelle]

16. At about the same time Rove will be indicted--COVERUP!! n/t

[KamaAina]

17. Why would the Dumbass Supreme(TM) send troops to a book store?

For that matter, how would he even know what Borders is? :dunce:

Oh, those borders. Never mind. :eyes:

[ixion]

19. what the hell for?

I mean really? What the hell is wrong with these "people"? :crazy: :puke: :wtf:

[ruggerson]

21. This is SOLELY to shore up sagging poll numbers for his base

The rightwingers are chomping at the bit for red meat. They want a wall or the army down at the borders.

This is Bush pandering at his most extreme.

He NEVER would have done this had his polls been in the 50's.

This is all about '06.

Nothing more.

[Shakespeare]

25. P O S S E C O M M I T A T U S

That Rove thing's really got ya worried, huh Georgie?

[npincus]

26. you mean they're bringing them home from Iraq?

[Disturbed]

28. This is meant to discourage Americans from going to...

Mexico since the Decriminalization of small amounts of drugs has been inacted in Mexico. Joking. ;0)

It is a move to satisfy the RW base that have been screaming about border insecurity and to nueter the Minutemen.
