So you're for allowing Iraq to devolve into chaos. That's a switch for
you, seeing as how that would be 'disastrous' for the US long-term
(accrording to you, Mr. "I'm not a contradiction").

It seems that Iraq currently keeps about 140,000 soldiers occupied
pretty much full-time. But I'm sure that would all change, yes?

You are a true moron, toopid.

Trapped in your box....forever.

You forget this part, though, toopid.

"You clearly do not understand how manpower requirements work. Why
don't you give us a matrix of where all the people required would come
from, with duration of deployment and frequency of activation? Do that
and I'll leave you alone. (Hint: it seems that the Pentagon is having
problems with this question. Solve it and get a medal, toopid!)"

It's very easy to say as you have, over and over, that someone is
trapped in a box. It's a lot harder to show how to get out of it. Our
top military brass, for example, seems to have some difficulty here,
even manning *current* operations, while you apparently do not, even
manning *another* operation. So show me how this 'box' will change (if
you can. If you cannot, the sane thing for you to do would be to admit
it.). Show me how we can man all of the military requirements currently
facing our military, and then add in that "shooting war" with Iran.

BTW, bushie and rummy thought 'outside of the box.' He thought that the
age-old lessons of military history were outdated, just like you do.
Fat lot of good that did him (and us), toopid...

So time for you to prove your mettle, toopid. I'll accept an Excel
speadsheet showing troop strength, location, and where pulled from. You
do not need to do a full DMD by MOS with unit MTOE. Show us all about
that box you keep braying about (with nothing but a cute little phrase
to back it up).

Can you do it?

I didn't think so.

BTW, your lack of brains will not affect my holidays at all. As I said,
you have a pretty high opinion of yourself, little man.

LOL!

Moron.
