Bush 'to reveal Iraq troop boost'
By Justin Webb
BBC News, Washington

US President George W Bush intends to reveal a new Iraq strategy within days, the BBC has learnt.

The speech will reveal a plan to send more US troops to Iraq to focus on ways of bringing greater security, rather than training Iraqi forces.
............

The BBC was told by a senior administration source that the speech setting out changes in Mr Bush's Iraq policy is likely to come in the middle of next week.

Its central theme will be sacrifice.

..................

Already one senior Republican senator has called it Alice in Wonderland.

"likely to come in the middle of next week"

Well.....that's longer than "a matter of days". That is more like a week. How many more will die while the decider-chimp waits for The Baby Jesus to tell him the plan?
