Are we getting ready to organize another troop deployment to Iraq?


For the first time since Operation Desert Storm, the Army plans to announce this week an involuntary mobilization of thousands of troops from the Individual Ready Reserve; various press outlets are planning to report.

The move, which Army officials say is likely to involve notifying roughly 6,500 soldiers about a possible deployment, is meant to fill holes in active and reserve units preparing to go to Iraq and Afghanistan this fall and early next year.

Pentagon officials have said for weeks that tapping from the Individual Ready Reserve was in the works. The Army's plan is being explained this week on Capitol Hill in advance of the announcement, expected on Wednesday, defense officials said.



So if Iraq was given back to the Iraqis, why are we still there?

Doesn't it read funny that we are still sending troops, building bases, and privatizing the hell out of everything if we truly were giving Iraq back to the Iraqis?

We need to get the Neo-CONS out and keep Kerry Liberal!
