20,000 TROOP INCREASE FOR **POLITICAL** REASONS Choux... 01/03/07
    “President Bush is expected to announce his new Iraq strategy in an address to the nation early next week.” According to the BBC, “The speech will reveal a plan to send more US troops to Iraq.”

    Last night on NBC News, Jim Miklaszewski reported that the new strategy will be announced next Tuesday, and that an administration official “admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one.”

    Just weeks ago, CentCom commander Gen. John Abizaid told Congress “I met with every divisional commander, General Casey, the corps commander, General Dempsey, we all talked together. And I said, in your professional opinion, if we were to bring in more American Troops now, does it add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq? And they all said no.”

    Would you want your child to die or be maimed for **Bush's Political reasons** in his War of Adventurism on Iraq?

      Perhaps you should try it. You might actually learn something. Like the fact that most Iraqis seem to enjoy and appreciate our presence in Iraq. Like the fact that the troops aren't ign'ant, illiterate boobs and actually have the brains to make decisions for themselves. Like the fact that Bush hasn't profited one iota from the war, but is rather moved by his interest in protecting the USA from international terrorism by fighting the terrorists THERE instead of waiting for them to come here. Like maybe the fact that even good generals can sometimes be wrong, as Casey is.

      But hey, its your choice. You can read and possibly learn something, or you can continue to live without facts, making decisions purely on emotional outbursts.

      Your choice.
