Pentagon to Order 30,000 Troops to Iraq in Early 2009
QuestionGirl June 27th, 2008 - 7:35 pmThe Pentagon is preparing to order roughly 30,000 troops to Iraq early next year in a move that would allow the U.S. to maintain 15 combat brigades in the country through 2009, The Associated Press has learned.
The deployments would replace troops currently there. But the decisions could change depending on whether Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, decides in the fall to further reduce troop levels in Iraq.
Several officials familiar with the deployments spoke on condition of anonymity because the orders have not yet been made public.

I found a Kindergarden class that has not been recruited yet. I am holding out for a finders fee. Full scale rebellion is the only out that I see. When everyone refuses to serve maybe then the message will get through.
