Apparently, Dubya's "Iraqi Strategy" is to immediately increase troops by 20,000 plus souls in the Middle East, if Congress will approve. The proposal has encountered predominantly harsh feedback..well, from everyone. I just so happen to be a part of that 66% of the nation that disapproves.
He claims the agenda is to retract troops later in the year, once the overdose of military presence has become effective in the region. Of course, I'm paraphrasing and putting my own literary flair on all of this. I suppose this could be considered a booster of the "shock and awe" innoculation we imposed on the region several years ago? I know I'm not alone when I question the current effectiveness of our already steady stream of capable military personnel serving time in that part of the world. Are we really making a difference??
Opposed to increasing the military presence, I believe it would be more effective to concentrate on implementing programs that phase-in the Iraqi government and civil organizations so that they may become more self-reliant.. and ween-off the United Nations providing sustenance to maintain order and peace. The word is that it's a little too late in the process, motivations are low, and that the Iraqi people are unable and/or unwilling to come through for themselves.
In any case, I suppose everyone is wondering how in the world they'll find twenty thousand plus more troops to enlist and deploy??? Well, look no further.. The "Don't ask, don't tell" clause just went out the window.

"Lieutenant General Daniel W. Christman, former superintendent of West Point, recently told The New York Times that "It is clear that national attitudes toward this issue have evolved considerably in the last decade."
Indeed, everyone should have access to the same opportunity to experience a deployment to Iraq! Heh. Bring on the flames, by golly! I think we might just win this war afterall, since there really isn't anyone more catty in battle..
FABULOUSSS!! *sighs*

Indeed, I commented in school on how it does not belong on the front cover and most people told me to shuttuppa my face. :(
Iraq? Pfft who cares about that now we've got Celebrity Big Brother instead \0/
By the way, I posted this because it'd be interesting to get some international perspective on the increase of troops in the Middle East, the recinding of the ban on homosexuals in the military, same sex marriage.. anyone?
I was just thinking about how all of this will push the "Same-Sex marriage" issue to the forefront. I wonder if Bush realises the repercussions.
It's the primary concern of advocates that partners are not given the same consideration when it comes to claiming survivor benefits. If the ban on gays in the military is being recinded, shouldn't their spouses be recognised as such and have the same equal claim to benefits?
I think so.
