Let's talk about Iraq, baby

Thanks Fanatical Apathy for pointing this little tid bit out:

Women soldiers in the U.S. Army would be barred from serving in combat support units under language added to a defense bill Wednesday. Proponents of the measure said it would affect only a small number of women, while opponents said over time, it
would drastically alter the face of the modern army.

Now, let me think, why would they want to bar women from serving in combat...I don't know...could it be a draft? As liberated as we are, could we as a country draft women to fight?

From The L.A. Times - those people we're going to draft? Well they'll be going to a war that was planned almost a year before.

The leaked minutes sum up the July 23, 2002 meeting, at which Blair, top security
advisors and his attorney general discussed Britain's role in Washington's plan to oust Hussein. The minutes, written by Matthew Rycroft, a foreign policy aide, indicate general thoughts among the participants about how to create a political and legal basis for war. The case for military action at the time was "thin," Foreign Minister Jack Straw was characterized as saying, and Hussein's government posed little threat.

Labeled "secret and strictly personal — U.K. eyes only," the minutes begin with the head of the British intelligence service, MI6, who is identified as "C," saying he had returned from Washington, where there had been a "perceptible shift in attitude. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and [weapons of mass destruction]. But the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy."

Aren't we all just shocked? No WMD, no connection to 9/11, 1615 American's killed as of today and over 100,000 Iraqis killed.

They suck.
