Troop Count back to 135,000

Iraq turning the corner! Zarqawi Who...?   Turning a corner...?   Turning a corner into another nightmare.   A Civil War...?   What Civil War...?   A Sectarian War...?   Just another chapter in the life of Bush's Iraq.

Now they will be imbedding American Troops in with the Iraqi Military and Police forces.   Just another reason for the Sunni and Shi'a militia and insurgents to kill muslims and Americans.

It seems just when you think the incompetence and stupidity coming from the Pentagon's NeoCon mismanagement can't get any worse...   It does...   - fc
pentagon Pentagon to Boost Iraq Troops to 135,000

The Pentagon's move to increase U.S. forces in Iraq will push troops levels to roughly 135,000, dashing Bush administration hopes of dropping that figure by tens of thousands by the fall congressional campaigns.

As of Friday, there were 16 Army and Marine brigades in Iraq, two more than the level several months ago. And the total troops there had already reached 132,000, and will climb in the coming weeks, buoyed by the decision to delay the scheduled return home this month of an Alaskan Army brigade.

The move is in response to the escalating violence in Baghdad and the new troop levels could remain intact for much of next year.

The move comes as members of Congress are preparing to return to their home districts, readying their November re-election campaigns — and robs them of the ability to tell an increasingly impatient public that the number of U.S. troops in Iraq will substantially drop by the end of the year, as they had hoped.

The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard.
