don't think he's begging for help. He's going to try to bullshit his way into getting Europe to send troops into Iraq. Then, with 120,000 troops free, he'll send them into Iran and/or Syria. They've been priming the pump there over the past several months. Syria is where "saddam sent all the WMD", and Iran "is building NUCULAR weapons".
A vote for Bush means a vote for a draft that will most likely result in Mandatory Military service for ALL AMERICANS. The DEMS are requiring MANDATORY MILITARY FOR ALL AMERICANS precisely because they know the chickenhawk replublicans WONT SEND THEIR CHILDREN to fight wars. No, they get their kids cush jobs they don't have to show up for, while the rest poorer people of country, those trying to achieve the American dream by getting college tuition from the service, are getting killed in wars.
"If you make a war if there are guns to be aimed if there are bullets to be fired if there are men to be killed they will not be us. They will not be us the guys who grow wheat and turn it into food the guys who make cloths and paper and houses and tiles the guys who build dams and power plants and string the long moaning high tension wires the guys who crack crude oil down in a dozen different parts who make light globes and sewing machines and shovels and automobiles and airplanes and tanks and guns oh no it will not be us who die. It will be you.
It will be you---you who urge us on to battle you who incite us against ourselves you who would have one cobbler kill another cobbler you who would have one man who works kill another man who works you who would have one human being who wants only to live kill another human being who only wants to live. Remember this. Remember this well you people who plan for war. Remember this you patriots you fierce ones you spawners of hate you inventors of slogans. Remember this as you have never remembered anything else in your lives.
We are men of peace we are men who work and we want no quarrel. But if you destroy our peace if you take away our work if you try to range us one against the other we will know what to do. If you tell us to make the world safe for democracy we will take you seriously and by god and by Christ we will make it so. We will use the guns you force upon us we will use them to defend our very lives and the menace to our lives does not lie on the other side of a nomansland that was set apart without our consent it lies within or own boundaries here and now we have seen it and we know it.
Put the gun into our hands and we will use them.
Give us the slogans and we will turn them into realities. Sing the battle hymns and we will take them up where you left off. Not one not ten not ten thousand not a million not ten million not ten millions not a hundred millions but a billion two billions of us all the people of the world we will have the slogans and we will have the hymns and we will have the guns and we will use them and we will live. Make no mistake of it we will live. We will be alive and we will walk and talk and eat and sing and laugh and feel and love and bear our children in tranquility in security in decency in peace. You plan the wars and point us the way and we will point the gun."
