Correct the last sentence: "....whenever we GUESS it's in our national
interest".



Why would you want to alter the quote?

Because the word "guess" is, in retrospect, the correct one.

If you wish. But your man, Kerry, might not appreciate your alterations.

Doesn't matter. Your president STILL functions under the delusions you
pointed out by providing the quote. At least Kerry has sworn off that
nonsense.

Yes, but if you discount the hard-left base that would claim disaster
regardless of circumstances, its not such an impressive list after all. The
fact is that about 80-85% of the country is pacified, and the

Had to laugh at Ashcroft today. He sees nothing wrong with an election held
only in selected portions of the country. It's better than no election at all,
he says.

Maybe he can apply that logic to the US?
Just hold the election in the red states? :-)

Haven't I been saying that for the last 12 months? We'll take the
Republican-sponsored programs ...and you guys take the Democratic ones like
Social Security, Medicare, and Socialized medicine. But don't come crying
to us when you can't afford to pay for your social programs (because there
are no rich people to soak with taxes), the doctors all flee your "New"
America, and some third World terrorist-sponsoring country invades you
because you have no military. Oh yeah...and we get the oil in ANWR, Texas,
and the Gulf, as well as the nukes in the silos across the Midwest and
Plains states. If you don't like it, then too bad...'cause our military
will be stronger than yours.

Underneath your inexperience in life, you really are a kind of
militaristic fascist, eh?

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

I believe that the federal government's primary function is to provide a
strong military for our nation's defense. It of course has other functions,
too...but none as important as its primary function.

I am not suggesting there are any plans for a draft, but NOYB has
suggested attacks on Syria and Iran.

If NOYB's fantasy comes to fruition and we expand this war, he may be among the
first to go!

From the Selective Service website, "Strategic Goals for 2004"

Agency’s ability
to respond flexibly to a DoD request for health care personnel using the
Agency’s HCPDS.

**********
Strategic Objective 1.2: Ensure a mobilization infrastructure of 56 State
Headquarters,
442 Area Offices and 1,980 Local Boards are operational within 75 days of an
authorized
return to conscription.

*********************
Strategic Objective 1.3: Be operationally ready to furnish untrained manpower
within DoD
timelines.

************

programs.

*************

Service Offices and 48 Civilian Review Boards are operational within 96 days

Sure sounds like a draft is the farthest thing from the government's mind.


A funny thing occurs to me. The Limbaugh fans who squeal, "Don't let them
register our guns! They might come and take them away!" have no difficulty at
all registering their sons, and soon their daughters for that *exact* purpose.
