OMG! Bush's idea of 'fixing' the Iraqi problem - 30,000 more troops!

Okay George, you need to understand something - 135,000 troops will NEVER be able to force your ideas onto 26 million citizens. Not gonna happen. Ever.

30,000 more? Well that amounts to 30,000 more targets. A very stupid military move.

You need to do one of two things, withdraw ALL the troops (very good idea) or send in about a MILLION soldiers and how will you do that? You can't.

What are we winning? What is victory? You can't believe 30k more troops is the answer.

Stupid stupid stupid.

We had 500,000 in Gulf War I and that was NOT to occupy the country.

Think.

7. Okay ya got me.

Yeah, yeah you know me too well. :) A million would be for starters in my opinion. That is why leaving Iraq makes more sense.

3. Bush still thinks there is an "enemy" we must defeat

What a moron!

[Rex]

4. They lost the commies so now it has to be the terrorists.

The Iraqi terrorists er insurgents.

[Ilsa]

5. Abizaid and the other generals in Iraq have said it won't help

to have more troops, but Bush is an asshole, so I guess he'll order it anyway, just to prove he can boss the generals around.
