To do this all we need is really one or two infantry companys per city in the anbar provence. Bush plans to send much more. I would have loved to have had this type of surge when i wan in iraq. The problem is the liberals dont see the common sence of the issue!

Then you would agree that a change of course two or three years ago would have been a good idea?
I have to wonder why it took the loss of the congress, to motivate him to change his strategy…could his stubbornness prior to November 2006 been for political reasons?
I contend they were, and that stubbornness put our troops in needless jeopardy and has extended this war well beyond the time it should have taken to do the job he felt needed to be done.
In short, he went cheap for political gains.
Thanks for making my case Sitty.
