Kentucky Guard Unit's Stay In Iraq Extended

http://www.wlky.com/news/10733919/detail.html

A group of 81 Kentucky National Guard members based in western Kentucky won't be returning home in March, as they had expected.

Two companies of the 2nd Battalion, 123rd Armor Regiment had their year-long tour extended by up to 125 days as part of President George W. Bush's decision to build up U.S. forces in Iraq.

...

Storm said the Guard units would be returning in July or August at the latest.

Storm wrote that he does not expect anyone to be happy about the extension.

Doesn't expect anyone to be happy? Ya don't say?!
