The very definition of desperation.

The armed forces, already struggling to meet recruiting goals, are considering expanding the number of noncitizens in the ranks -- including disputed proposals to open recruiting stations overseas and putting more immigrants on a faster track to US citizenship if they volunteer -- according to Pentagon officials.

Foreign citizens serving in the US military is a highly charged issue, which could expose the Pentagon to criticism that it is essentially using mercenaries to defend the country. Other analysts voice concern that a large contingent of noncitizens under arms could jeopardize national security or reflect badly on Americans' willingness to serve in uniform.

This is the outcome of the policies of a President who cannot accept the fact that he has failed and remains unable to change his policies.

So instead he will send foreign fighters to die in the place of a dwindling American force.

I guess George believes that we will care less about the loss of non-American lives in Bush's criminal war then we would if our "own people" were dying over there. He is mistaken.
