WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Critics of the Iraq war proposed a congressional resolution on Thursday calling for a U.S. troop withdrawal in a reflection of growing American unease, a proposal swiftly rejected by the White House and the Pentagon.

It's time for Borderless Bush to do one of two things: reduce OPSTEMPO or go back to a draft. You can't keep screwing the people who volunteered in good faith. If Don "Matlock" Rumsfeld is so serious about doing away with the cold war military the all-volunteer thing has got to go.

I spent a year in Iraq, so I'm more than entitled to this opinion. This is a culture where, if you allow yourself to be used, the people will keep screwing you for all that you are worth.

Pull the troops out of Iraq. We've done our job. It's time to tell the new government to get it together by a certain date, because we're going home. Afghanistan, too. And Korea, and Germany, and everywhere else.

Then, put the troops on the borders. You should see the border between Iraq and Kuwait. A mouse couldn't cross it, thanks to the U.S. Let's do the same with our borders.

Bush is really starting to piss this OIF 2 vet off. Put my ass on the line for Los Estados Unidos d'Americo? I don't think so.

Shut your stupid, barely-literate piehole.

If I want another update from your mom's basement, I'll FReepmail you.

[Billthedrill]

What unit?

[NHAntiMassRedRebel]

Actually, I live in your mom's basement. Check it out!

[TommyDale]

We will withdraw when the job is finished. Period.

He knows about this stuff. He's in New Hampshire. The Mexicans are pouring across the border there.

[cweese]

Yeah right. Whatever, Mr. Veterinarian.

[NHAntiMassRedRebel]

You're absolutely right. Maine's the first sanctuary state.

[monkeywrench]

I think that the Bush team feels we need our troops in that particular area at this time. This isn't just about iraq.

SWEET! :)

[wideawake]

Yup. Almost 4,500 people claiming whole or partial Mexican ancestry live in NH.

It's basically the same as California or Texas.

Here's one Freeper who thinks for himself and agrees with the both of you...

[NHAntiMassRedRebel]

Hey, I was and still am of the opinion that the Hussein regime had to go. But we need to draw the line. This unending deployments situation sucks. We're still in Germany and Korea, too. We've paid our dues.

OIF 2? What happend to the first one?

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

"Rush says the media should declare a truce. Why should they when they do not report any negative things that occur there now?"

That's pretty dumb.

"Rush says the media should declare a truce. Why should they when they do not report any negative things that occur there now?"

Yep. Still pretty dumb.
