Bush, More US troops to Iraq

Instead of admitting he was wrong and that Iraq is a complete disaster, Bush is planning to pour more fuel on the fire and is planning to send more troops to Iraq. The BBC was told by a senior administration source that Bush is planning to give a speech setting out changes in his Iraq policy. The speech is likely to come in the middle of next week. From the BBC.

US President George W Bush intends to reveal a new Iraq strategy within days, the BBC has learnt.

The speech will reveal a plan to send more US troops to Iraq to focus on ways of bringing greater security, rather than training Iraqi forces.

[...]

Its [the speech] central theme will be sacrifice.

The speech, the BBC has been told, involves increasing troop numbers.

The exact mission of the extra troops in Iraq is still under discussion, according to officials, but it is likely to focus on providing security rather than training Iraqi forces.

As usual, Bush is not listening to the will of the people and more importantly the will of our own troops!
