Your complete callousness towards plight of the unemployed typifies many Bush supporters. It also explains the administration's refusal to address negative free-trade effect on many workers while pandering to multi-national slave-wage hungry corps. BTW, I'm one of the 20-30% swing voters that decide presidential elections in USA. It's time to relocate Wolfowitz's office to downtown Baghdad: Saturday, 31-Jan-2004 8:00AM Story from AP / MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer ----------------------------------------------------------- WURZBURG, Germany (AP) -- Soldiers' spouses complained to the Pentagon's second-in-command Saturday that American troops need time to rest between their frequent missions. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz spoke to soldiers of the Army's 1st Infantry Division and their families as the division prepared to go to Iraq beginning next week. Family members of the soldiers told Wolfowitz they needed more stability in their lives. Bonnie McCarty said her husband is preparing for a yearlong tour of duty in Iraq. "When he comes back, does this mean in another year he's going to go back again because the size of the Army isn't big enough?" McCarty asked Wolfowitz. "We don't want to keep going through this." Wolfowitz said the Army is considering an increase in the number of combat units to ease the strain. He said he and other Pentagon officials know that the last several years have been difficult for soldiers and their families and are trying to ease the strain. Wolfowitz said Pentagon officials are not sure, however, that permanently enlarging the Army is the answer. "There's a big uncertainty about what we're going to need in the future, " Wolfowitz said. The 1st Infantry Division along with a National Guard unit from North Carolina and several units from other states will replace the 4th Infantry Division in north-central Iraq. The area is a hotbed of support for former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and includes Saddam's hometown, Tikrit.
