The Chickenhawk Dilema

Seems Beloved Leader has a little quandry facing him. Perhaps Scott Ritter is right and the invasion of Iran is less than 60 days away. Here are some Preznit Horse Cock noises:

The Bush administration said Monday that Iran was trying to build atomic weapons in secret and suggested the international community should respond by taking away Tehran's right to nuclear energy technology.
Gee, how multilateral of them, but it really sounds like more flapping of the Chickenhawk gums again...in a prelude to what, launching an invasion to get the press off the Bugman's back just in time for the 2006 election cycle? Let's see if Perle, Wolfowitz and Bolton will be parachuting SGT Rock-style into Tehran to kick some mullah ass...because, it seems that the Pentagon may need their help.
The Defense Department acknowledged yesterday that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the U.S. military to a point where it is at higher risk of less swiftly and easily defeating potential foes, though officials maintained that U.S. forces could handle any military threat that presents itself.
...
Underscoring the stress facing the armed services, the Army reported separately yesterday that its recruiting efforts are continuing to slip, as recruiters nationwide obtained less than 60 percent of the April goal of 6,600 new recruits into the active-duty force. It was the third straight month in which the Army missed its recruiting goal, and it represents a significant downward trend.
Well, there are plenty of racks and rifles for the sons and daughters of the republican junior gentry, I'm sure. All those republicans who have enlistment-age kiddies ought to be driving them down to the recruiter today to fight in the 1600 Crew's war!

I'm pretty sure they'll be right behind Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz and Bolton; it's their destiny.

The closest those armchair warriors have been to actual combat was getting drunk and watching Red Dawn and Rambo (but not First Blood, that was too librul). Oh, and taking bribes from weapons manufacturers.

This is just like Nam in that the rich kids sit at home while the poor go to war.Bushco is creating an economic enviroment where the kids today can work at Walmart or go in the military. All things considered I wonder how safe we would have felt with Bush or Cheney covering our backs in a fire fight.

As always, unparalleled in excellent names for Fearless Leader, Jo -- President Horse Cock/Cranker best one I've heard all day.
