Troop Shortage? Shocking with all the Yellow Ribbons I see!
Why do we have a troop shortage? Don't 58 million Americans support the President and even more "Support our Troops." The glare coming off the yellow ribbons that festoon all the gas guzzling SUVs is enough to blind most motorists yet we don't have enough troops.... Shouldn't we be able to scrounge up a couple of hundred thousand from those millions of Bush voters and yellow ribbon people who are actually willing to fight or support our troops by fighting by their side?! As Bill Maher said in 2001, Putting a Yellow Ribbon on your car is "LITERALLY" the LEAST thing you can do! It doesn't protect our troops or bring them home sooner. It doesn't resurrect thousands upon thousands of dead Iraqis not to mention hundreds and perhaps thousand of dead Afghanis. It doesn't heal the psychological scars of those tortured in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib or any of the other places where we imprison and torture people who are often, if not always, innocent. OK enough...
