Bush Is A Liar When Troop Escalation Numbers

    So Bush lied to us once again ( surprised ? ) this time about his troop escalation manpower numbers.

ABC News:

President Bush's troop buildup in Baghdad apparently will be bigger and more costly and perhaps last longer than it seemed when he unveiled the plan in January as the centerpiece of a new Iraq strategy.

U.S. officials say it's too early to tell whether the troop reinforcements will succeed in containing the sectarian and insurgent violence, but it looks as though the Pentagon is preparing for an expanded commitment assuming that by summer there are solid signs that the extra effort is yielding significant results.

The Bush plan called for sending 21,500 extra U.S. combat troops to Iraq mainly to Baghdad with the last of five brigades arriving by June. The estimated price tag was $5.6 billion. Officials have refused to say exactly how long it would last, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates had suggested that it could be over by fall.

In recent days a different picture has  emerged.

Abortion Blamed For Military Manpower Shortage

   Did you know that the United States has a military shortage of manpower because of abortions? Abortions are also contributing to the Social Security problem and to the flow of illegal's coming into the United States?  That is what former Sen. Zell Miller said during the past week!

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution  

It hasn't gotten widespread play yet, but former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller made a little news this week in Macon when he declared that abortion has contributed to the military's manpower shortage, the Social Security crisis, and the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

"How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We're too few because too many of our babies have been killed," Miller said.

"Over 45 million since Roe v. Wade in 1973. If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security," the former Georgia governor said. "Still, we watch as 3,700 babies are killed every single day in America. It is unbelievable that a nation under God would allow this."

If you doubt us, check out the video at the Macon Telegraph's web site. The comments were made at a Tuesday night fund-raiser for a local anti-abortion counseling center.
