Lies, Lies and More Lies

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Anyone remember the announcement made by Defense Secretary Gates back on April 11? Merely one month ago, Secretary Gates announced that all active duty soldiers will spend 15 months in Iraq and Afghanistan, instead of year, and the guarantee that they will be at home for a full 12 months before redeployment. Guess what? ANOTHER DAMN LIE by the government.

According to Stars and Stripes, Members of the 1st Armored Division’s 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry, Company A, will be headed back to Iraq in November. That is only 9 months home, after spending 13 months in Iraq.

Evidently, when Gates was asked Wednesday about the situation, he stammered, sputtered, and could not explain why the Army was sending back the company just nine months after its last Iraq deployment.

So, what was once a pledge to guarantee our soldiers more time with their families and the extra training needed prior to redeployment, is now being referred to as “is a goal”, so states Bryan Whitman from the Pentagon.

Don’t feed us more lies and deceit. This is Bush's war. He has never listened to the Generals on the ground, nor the will of the people.

Bring them home, ALL HOME.
