How's that war going, Chimpy?

Thousands of Marines face involuntary recalls.

The U.S. Marine Corps said Tuesday it has been authorized to recall thousands of Marines to active duty, primarily because of a shortage of volunteers for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Up to 2,500 Marines will be brought back at any one time, but there is no cap on the total number of Marines who may be forced back into service in the coming years. The call-ups will begin in the next several months.

This is the first time the Marines have had to use the involuntary recall since the early days of the Iraq combat. The Army has ordered back about 14,000 soldiers since the start of the war.

Pair that with this statement:

"What's happened [in Iraq] is nothing short of a miracle."
–-Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), Tulsa World, 8/22/06

Yes. It all makes sense now. More from Senate Majority Project:

In a wide-ranging interview in today’s Tulsa World, in which Inhofe also reiterates his support for the "Bridge to Nowhere" as "one of the few things in Washington that works," gets wistful for the Cold War and claims that global warming is merely a front for "international economic movements"(??), Inhofe saves his most insane salvos for the situation in Iraq.

"What's happened there is nothing short of a miracle," said the Senator, who is also very proud to tell you that in the recorded history of his family, there has never been a divorce or homosexual relationship, and that if you believe in global warming, well, you’re sort of like a Nazi.
