The surging surge is officially announced

Earlier in the week we heard about the request for more troops for Iraq but now it's official. Bush is asking for 8,200 more troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe if we give it another few days this number will also grow because his request looks like just another hodgepodge of throwing anything out there and seeing how it works as opposed to an actual plan. Are more increases what we should come to expect with the surge just continuing to surge and surge and surge? The patsies from the GOP are gone and the public wants answers and wants accountability. Voters have had enough of this adventure and with the daily news of more bombings (31 killed today) there will continue to be a need for more with no end in sight.

Unless the pro-war politicians start sending their kids off to the recruiting stations or the College Republicans launch a recruitment campaign within their circles, the US will still be unable to deliver enough troops to even maintain what limited control they have today. The GOP has made America weaker with their failed global adventures.
