Army Considers Longer Combat Tours Again

WASHINGTON - The Army is considering whether it will have to extend the combat tours of troops in Iraq if President Bush opts to maintain the recent buildup of forces through spring 2008.

Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren testified Tuesday that the service is reviewing other options, including relying more heavily on Army reservists or Navy and Air Force personnel, so as not to put more pressure on a stretched active-duty force.

Most soldiers spend 15 months in combat with a guaranteed 12 months home, a rotation plan that already has infuriated Democrats because it exceeds the service's goal of giving troops equal time home as in combat. In coming weeks, the Senate will vote on a proposal by Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., that would restrict deployments.

"It's too early to look into the next year, but for the Army we have to begin to plan," Geren told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "We have to look into our options."

Gen. David Petraeus, Iraq war commander, suggested Sunday that conditions on the ground might not be stable enough by September to justify a drop in force levels, and he predicted that stabilizing Iraq could take a decade. Earlier this year, Bush ordered the deployment of some 30,000 additional troops as part of a massive U.S.-led security push around Baghdad and the western Anbar province.

There are about 156,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.

“the same group that controls Europe controls Canada, and the united states.”

YOU forget that group is the one Bush calls the EVIL EMPIRE and the one we can not deal with. It is the same one that is building nuclear weapons and wants to eliminate Israel. YOU ARE AN ASS!!

i am sorry i do not believe that bush called either the Sunni or the Shina the evil empire

he called Iran(Sunni),Syria(Shina),and n Korea(communists) the axis of evil

yes Iran, and n Korea are building nuke weapons.

n Korea got theirs from the Soviet union.

Iran got theirs from Iraq.

and Syria is build chemical weapons which they got from Iraq,

so you see your complaint about the Sunni being in control of Iraq is null and void because if bush HAD ALLOWED THE SH IA TO BE ELECTED INTO OFFICE THEN YOU WOULD BE CRYING BECAUSE HE HAD LEFT THE OLD GOVERNMENT IN OFFICE AND OR THAT HE HAD ALLOWED THE SAME GROUP THAT CONTROLS SYRIA TO CONTROL IRAQ.

and that is the same with all of your posts because you don't think anyone but you have all of the facts. when in reality dictator gene(i will not call you a colonial again because i dont think you are or ever was one. you may have been in the military but not a colonial

“I am sorry i do not believe that bush called either the Sunni or the Shea the evil empire.”

That is what Bush Called Iran who is controlled by the SAME party as the Government in Iraq that Bush enabled to be elected. The Shea now control both Iraq and Iran and are the arch enemies of the Moslem nations that we have good relations with such as Jordan and Saudia Arabia who are Sunni. In other words what Bush has accomplished is to enable a government in Iraq like the government we have been unable to deal with for over 40 years in Iran and a government that are the enemies of our only friends in the Moslem World. SMART MOVE-GEORGE!

Has anyone bothered to tell you how much you sound like a complete idiot? Someone "really" should!”

IT IS you and all that continue to support Bush that are the real idiots. That support is down to about 25%. By the time this is all over, everyone will know just how big a mistake Bush made to get us involved in Iraq. Saddam was an evil person and the Iraqi People should have removed him from power. As far as evil dictators are concerned, the tyrants in Africa have caused FAR more death and misery then Saddam. We are not invading those countries-- Darfur and the Sudan for example. We were wrong and have turned Iraq into a battle ground with foreign terrorists helping to increase the fighting. Bush is an IDIOT as is ANYONE that supports his policies!

“you have forgotten to tell us how he got everyone out to vote at every election and he got 100% of the vote. of course that was at a point of a gun.”

Bush enabled an election that brought the same party as controls Iran to power. How GREAT is that. A government that can not control the killing in Iraq.

AND YOU NEED TO LEARN TO READ. FROM CBS ON JUNE 26, 2007:

CBS) The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high.

You "really" are an idiot, aren't you?

“Bush enabled an election that brought the same party as controls Iran to power. How GREAT is that. A government that can not control the killing in Iraq.” What do you have to say about this fact?

CBS) The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high. Last night CNN poll had Bush at 24% and Congress at 23%. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS 34 0R 24% BUSH DOES NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS! You are the Idiot!Now Sen. Lugar is calling for us to remove our forces from Iraq BECAUSE the SURGE IS NOT WORKING. Look at events this past week!

how come the boots on the ground says it is working

and you believe some senator in washington

i have never even heard of this senater which is not really important.

and as i said about the sunni

the sunni live in iran and control iran. the sunni live in iraq and some are trying to control iraq. so you cry that the same party that controls iran controls iraq.

but the shia control syria, and if the shia controled iraq you would complain that the same party that controls syria controls iraq.

SO THE ONLY THING IMPORTANT TO YOU IS TO MAKE THE PRESIDENT LOOK BAD.

as for polls i donot trust them becouse the person who conducts the polls picks his/her responders. which means all they have to do is call all democrats, or all republicans to get the results that they want.

“How come the boots on the ground says it is working?”

They want to believe that. The dead, injured and numbers of attacks say things are NOT improving. The lack of Political progress say the policy is NOT WORKING. The Billions we are spending is say it is NOT WORKING!

“The Sunni live in Iran and control Iran. The Sunni live in Iraq and some are trying to control Iraq. So you cry that the same party that controls Iran controls Iraq.”

“But the Shea control Syria, and if the Shea controlled Iraq you would complain that the same party that controls Syria controls Iraq.”

First the Shea NOT the Sunni Control Iran. The Sunni are the group that controls Jordan and Saudi Arabia. We helped a group gain control in Iraq that is like the party we have not been able to deal with in Iran for over 40 years. The group that wants to eliminate Israel. That does not sound like such a good plan! The Bush Policy in Iraq IS NOT WORKING! Sen. Lugar is correct!

"SO THE ONLY THING IMPORTANT TO YOU IS TO MAKE THE PRESIDENT LOOK BAD." BUSH MAKES HIMSELF LOOK BAD!!!!!!!!

US Chiefs: Iraq Not Ready to Hold Ground

BAGHDAD - American military commanders now seriously doubt that Iraqi security forces will be able to hold the ground that U.S. troops are fighting to clear - gloomy predictions that strike at the heart of Washington's key strategy to turn the tide in Iraq.

Several senior American officers have warned in recent days that Iraqi soldiers and police are still incapable of maintaining security on their own in the most crucial areas, including Baghdad and the recently reclaimed districts around Baqouba to the north.

Another GOP senator breaks with Bush:

By ANNE FLAHERTY (Associated Press Writer)
From Associated Press
June 26, 2007 3:26 PM EDT
WASHINGTON - Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of Iraq, joining Richard Lugar as the second Republican lawmaker in as many days to suggest President Bush's war strategy is failing.

He said the Iraqi people must become more involved and "I don't think they'll get it until they know we're leaving."

The Ohio senator's remarks followed similar comments by Lugar, R-Ind., the previous night. The two GOP senators previously had expressed concerns about Bush's decision to send 30,000 extra troops to Iraq in a massive U.S.-led security push in Baghdad and Anbar province. But they had stopped short of saying U.S. troops should leave and declined to back Democratic legislation setting a deadline for troop withdrawals.

20 Beheaded Bodies Found in Iraq

BAGHDAD - Twenty beheaded bodies were discovered Thursday on the banks of the Tigris River southeast of Baghdad, while a parked car bomb killed another 20 people in one of the capital's busy outdoor bus stations, police said.

The beheaded remains were found in the Sunni Muslim village of Um al-Abeed, near the city of Salman Pak, which lies 14 miles southeast of Baghdad.

The bodies - all men aged 20 to 40 years old - had their hands and legs bound, and some of the heads were found next to the bodies, two officers said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
