So... if true, does this have anything to do with the trial leak of his new Iraq strategery crashing like the Hindenberg? Is the Monkey having second thoughts? Why the hesitation to go full speed ahead toward catastrophe, like he's done every other time?


WASHINGTON - President Bush plans to order extra U.S. troops to Iraq as part of a new push to secure Baghdad, but in smaller numbers than previously reported, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The president, who is completing a lengthy review of Iraq policy, is considering dispatching three to four U.S. combat brigades to Iraq, or no more than 15,000 to 20,000 U.S. troops, the officials said. Bush is expected to announce his decision next week.

Typically, a combat brigade comprises about 3,500 combat troops and more than 1,000 support personnel.

"Instead of a surge, it is a bump," said a State Department official. He spoke on condition of anonymity, because Bush hasn't yet unveiled details of what the White House is calling a "new way forward" in Iraq.

2. Pure politics

It will do no good, and probably do a lot of harm.

3. He thought the reaction to Saddam's hanging would be more violent...

He has been planning for this day. Unfortunately, many of the Iraqi people are in shock and meditation during this most holy holidays for them. But, it will be over in a few days. Mr Bush may be speaking too soon...

4. Trivia: "bump" is slang for a half-line of cocaine.
