Hagel said to "sell shoes", not used cars...unless you were being funny...just sayin'.

The IRS took in 48 Billion dollars on one day this month. At present spending levels that won't even pay for 6 MONTHS of this war. Not even 6 months! But no matter, Tiberius, we have people like you and John McCain. People who really know how to fight a war and have right on their side! People who will give their all to this administration, sacrifice your children and any others you can find. You guys didn't think much about this the first round, so let's not make that same mistake twice only to bitch about the left not understanding the situation at hand.....Give us numbers!

You and John McCain will need to send 400 thousand kids to do the job right. How much cash do you want to spend on this full on escalation Tiberius? Our present level of 200 MILLION a day barely holds what we have together. A BILLION a day, $365 BILLION a year? Think that will accomplish your goals?

You and John McCain will need to quadruple the number of ground troops to do the job right. A new Draft will take care of that.The draft will be welcome because all social spending will be cut for the war. Without a trust fund or a good lawyer, these kids won't have jobs or prospects so a draft won't be that big a deal.

I can't emphasize this enough Tiberius. We're going to be paying for this with double digit inflation so get your numbers right this time. How much more do you want to finish this war? Triple? Quadruple? Be realistic given the number of casualties that will need medical care. Don't try to pad the bill with an invasion on Iran, keep it in Iraq!

So once again, how much are you, John McCain, and your Republican kind willing to spend so Bush and Cheney can ride in a convertible with their heads held high on Veterans Day? Give a concrete dollar amount and the numbers of American young men and women you are willing to sacrifice to save Son of a Bush's face!

Now the real tough part-let's see if you and John McCain really have the balls to tell the American people, up front before the election, the sacrifice you expect them to make: we need to draft hundreds of thousands of their children over the next couple years, train them and ship them over to Iraq at a cost of a BILLION a day. All unnecessary social programs will be cut and if we can really do it without taxing the 1% richest Americans we will. After all, someone has to be alive to spend the profits.....

And you Republicans say WE on the left are being unreasonable when we say this madness needs to stop now. Stop blaming the left for your woes and really blame those who put us here in the first place with their lies.

Impeach Bush and Cheney! Tax the 1% to pay for this debt and GET US OUT NOW!

...then his irony is WAY too subtle for this reader. Not one ounce of irony, humor or anything else a reasonably intelligent person could glean, at least from his latest posts.

In any case, there ARE people who truly believe what he's saying. And he (or others) can SAY that Democrats want to pull out of Afghanistan, or that they never wanted to go in in the first place.

There is, as I said and repeat now, NO EVIDENCE of this.
