Akaka hits on readiness and military strain
Posted by Max Bergmann

Iraq is destroying our ground forces - and subsequently weakening this country. 2 points come out of Akaka's questioning.

First, Petraeus admitted in his response that strain on the force played a role in advocating going back to 12 month deployments. Nothing shocking there, but when the President tries to spin the decline in deployment times, we should all remember that it was done much more out of necessity than due to events on the ground.

Second, Iraq has eliminated our strategic ground reserve and we now have no ability to respond to other contingencies such as in North Korea or to protect the homeland.

Yesterday, my boyfriend gave me a lot of runescape gold as the gift. But I will buy runescape or rs gold to return him because I do not like that someone gives me something free. Although the runescape money is attractive for me, I will insist on returning it to him.


According to the agreement of the game, I should get the Scions Of Fate gold to go into the world of the game and SOF gold is sold by some companies. The Scions Of Fate money is not free and it will take some money to own the cheap SOF gold.
