Double the Troop ‘Surge’ in Iraq?Posted on Feb 1, 2007A new study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concludes that Bush’s “surge” plan could actually add as many as 48,000 troops to Iraq—more than double the number the president has pledged. That’s because all combat units need to be backed up by support troops. (h/t: Defense Tech)

By vet240, February 1, 2007 at 6:05 pm # Just another example of stupid un-informed arrogance from the boy who would play at being “King”. I have tried to think of a fitting comparison from past history but, I confess when it comes to Laziness (don’t/cain’t reed ner rite), pig-headedness (dont’ ask for real advice), and arrogance (I’m the decider), there has never been and I hope there will never another like this guy. We are being abused by a simple minded, drug-fogged, punk who not only talks to God but God (as he has said) talks to him. This (I hate to use the word) person actions are, in my estimation, criminal.
