Not that this suprises me or anything:
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.
The voters gave Mr. Bush “a thumpin’” a couple months back, but apparently, that wasn’t enough to stop him. Rather than getting the troops out as soon as possible and letting the Iraqis settle matters on their own (something they will do in any case, whether we pull out now or in a decade), he’s going to make matters worse by creating more dead Americans and Iraqis sooner.
I simply cannot express in words how disheartening and depressing this “new direction” is turning out to be.
