Wyoming:
As Wyoming prepares for the largest National Guard deployment in state history, much of the planning has gone into helping those who will be left behind for a year in communities scattered across the rural state.
Nearly 1,000 Soldiers will deploy in April to Iraq and Kuwait, leaving behind thousands of families and extended family members in nearly every community in the state.

This is one way
They can reduce the unemployment rate.

I'm just curious...does anybody know what happened to the anti-war movement and orgs? Why aren't they having protests against the war anymore? Do we need to remind them that the war is escalating and invite them to a rally?
World Can't Wait is doing good work.
They finally got the courage to name Obama as a warmonger as they had only Bush previously. And their We Are Not Your Soldiers campaign, taken directly to the schools, deserves support. Antiwar vets speak to the kids and they seem to be very effective.
I'd post the link but their website seems to be down right now.
we poke fun of the "born-again fiscal conservatives"
but this is more evidence that we are waist-high in the dual-party trance.
once another republican president is picked, the left will suddenly remember that they don't like the war on terrorism, and the right will suddenly forget they are supposed to be fiscally conservative.
They followed Obama to the dark side
I think the anti-war movement was 99% Obama fanatics and 1% RP supporters. That 99% is pro-war now because charisma and hero-worship is more important than ideology and morality.
It seems like the war is the
It seems like the war is the trojan horse into their defense system. Perhaps we need to start a dialogue with these groups about stepping up the efforts toward peace. It should be very hard for them to make any coherent defense of continuing the war when there are people dying and suffering and we are in a grave economic situation. When they see the cognitive dissonance of their position, perhaps they will realize all is not well in America and we are in peril. We need the left to realize we are all being lied to and manipulated on every topic. We need them to stand up with us. If they become disenchanted by the hypocrisy of the war they may distrust all that they have been fed including global warming and UN/world gov't schemes.

or so years ago we were told that militia's should not exist because the National guard serves that purpose. We argued that since they were sent overseas they no longer can be considered a militia.

The National Guard troops would be on our side and are well-trained. They need to be gone for the police state to work.

and while we're on that subject, not every cop gives a rat's ass about the police state. some of them will be on the side of freedom.

Obama is considering 400,000 troops to Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama is considering a plan that would double the size of Afghanistan's security force to about 400,000 troops and police officer to stabilize the nation, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Obama was expected to approve a version of the plan in coming days as part of a broader Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy, the report said, citing senior administration and Pentagon officials.
Afghanistan now has about 90,000 troops and the Afghan National Police numbers about 80,000 officers, the newspaper said.
The relatively small size of the security forces has frustrated Afghan officials and American commanders who wanted to turn security over to legitimate Afghan security forces, and not local warlords, at a faster pace, the Times reported.
The White House declined comment on the report.
The administration's goal of a 400,000-strong Afghan security force is more than three times the size that U.S. officials believed would be adequate for Afghanistan in 2002, when the Taliban and Al Qaeda appeared to have been routed, the report said.
According to the newspaper, cost projections for the program range from $10 billion to $20 billion over the next six or seven years. The annual budget for the entire Afghan government is largely provided by the United States and other international donors.
Earlier on Wednesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was asked whether a Pentagon estimate puts the cost of expanding the Afghan forces to 134,000 at $17 billion.
Gates told reporters at a briefing that estimate sounds too high.
"That's higher than any figure I've heard," Gates said. "And we certainly hope that our allies and partners and others around the world will contribute to the Afghan trust fund at NATO to help sustain these forces over time."
