State of the Union

You first.
Didn't mention Katrina.

Didn't mention global warming, did he? Ancillary, if at all.

Where are the 92,000 extra troops going to materialize from? Guest workers?

I have a suspicion that Republican politicians are very very cross tonight, deep down.
 
I've got an mp3 of W. referring to it as :
"And so, in my State of the -- my State of the Union -- or state -- my speech to the -- nation, whatever you wanna call it, speech to the nation -- I asked Americans to give 4,000 years -- 4,000 hours over the next -- of the rest of your life -- of service to America. That's what I asked. I said 2 -- 4,000 hours."

Whatever you wanna call it, it is required by the Constitution.

"Extra"

Glad I didn't watch, if you got that number right, I'd have thrown something at the TV.

Hey. you might be on to something there. We could start a Citizenship for military service program. That way the chickenhawks won't have to actually, like, fight in the wars they dream up. Not that they do anyway.

Even the brief mention of climate change is somewhat of an admission of reality.

I'm liking that idea much.

Hey Darth -

Yep, he wants that many over the next 5 years:

One of the first steps we can take together is to add to the ranks of our military — so that the American Armed Forces are ready for all the challenges ahead. Tonight I ask the Congress to authorize an increase in the size of our active Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 in the next 5 years. A second task we can take on together is to design and establish a volunteer Civilian Reserve Corps. Such a corps would function much like our military reserve. It would ease the burden on the Armed Forces by allowing us to hire civilians with critical skills to serve on missions abroad when America needs them. And it would give people across America who do not wear the uniform a chance to serve in the defining struggle of our time.

And that Civilian Reserve Corps - what the hell is that?!?
 
Hey, there already is such a program.

Now that you mention it, when I was in the Navy I remember a lot of Philipinos were in the Navy. I forgot about that.

Realistically most illegal immigrants would probably not be fit to serve. It is better when they have the luxury to pick from among candidates. Today they probably have to take almost any warm body to fill their quotas.

Contained in the Netski Mash-cubator (pat. pend.)and maintained at 90 deg. F.
Bubbling wildly.
Might just become poteen. Suitable for running your car on, too.
 
You didn't know the United States Congress was full of Jews, including Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Barack Obama, did you?

Wait until al Qaeda sees this!

It was about increasing the size of the military, not about putting 92,000 more troops in Iraq.
