Bush Pushes Forward

It is so sad that we've allowed GWB to kidnap the military of the U.S. Government.

From the Progress Report of the Center for American Progress - 12/3/2006.
CNN reports that President Bush is "expected to announce his new Iraq strategy in an address to the nation early next week ." According to the BBC, "The speech will reveal a plan to send more US troops to Iraq ." The Pentagon is already drafting plans "extending U.S. military units already in Iraq and moving troops from other locations" in anticipation of the announcement. One thing that hasn't been decided: what the extra troops would do in the middle of a civil war . The BBC reports "The exact mission of the extra troops in Iraq is still under discussion ." Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) says Bush's plan for escalation in Iraq is "Alice in Wonderland ," adding, "I'm absolutely opposed to sending any more troops to Iraq. It is folly."
