In a bit of unwelcome news, apparently the Bush camp has unveiled plans to surge 20,000 additional troops into Iraq beginning this month with roughly half of them being sent into Baghdad where the insurgency seems to be the worst.

Summary of speech: More troops, more spending, more pipe dreams and more empty slogans directed at the few remaining complacent morons to slop up like a Pavlovian mut.

Peace in the Middle East was an impossibility in light of US President George Bush's announcement to send more troops to Iraq, Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Shara said on Thursday, according to a report on Israel Radio.
"There is no reason to expect that the peace process will be restarted without the clear commitment of the Americans," al-Shara said.

What gets me here with this new troop increase is that Bush just continues, right in our faces, to do the opposite of what the American people want. It's almost as if there was no elections.

We must expect more Iraqi and American casualties
We'll interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.
