Hardball: Breaking - Tweety Says Bush WILL SEND 20,000 MORE TROOPS

[matcom]

Senator(R) from Oregon told Bush today at a meeting he will NOT support the "surge"

on edit: Tweety just got word "in his ear" at the end of the show

1. is he going to pull them out of his ass???

Thought we only had 9000 to send.

[helderheid]

2. We're cloning, didn't you hear?

[Nickster]

6. Right, but after "careful" consideration he can then claim that he worked with the Dems and

will only send 9,000 troops. This way he still gets to look tough, he gets to send more troops, and he can say that he compromised with Congress. They said this was all a political manuever in the beginning, so why wouldn't they blow smoke to make themselves look good now?

10. they are pulling some from Afghanistan

again

[LSK]

17. and will this be in his speech?

I think not.

[leftchick]

21. lol!

uh no, bush will act like we have unlimited human resources. :puke:

[Monkeyman]

19. No we have 9000 here

The 173rd Germany and 4th ID Korea will be called heavy combat units. There is about 40,000 he can pull from other Countries

[LSK]

20. I can see pulling them from Germany, but Korea???

[tridim]

3. Where's he going to get the 11,000 non-existent troops?

4. Where are they supposed to come from?

I thought the military had told him all they have ready to deploy are 9k. That leaves him 11k short.

12. They get the by keeping troops there longer

Those scheduled to come home will end up staying longer.

Also, the shortages can be proven by my own family story. My brother will have just arrived in Kuwait, he flew out last night. he is a RETIRED naval officer. He retired ten years ago, got married, started a family and now a decade later they decide they need him and he has to go to the middle east for a full year deployment.

Bush is destroying our military, slowly but surely.

13. Sending the good mojo

that he will be ok. Hugs

[Marrah_G]

14. Thanks

I'm hoping the Lady watches over him and bring him home safe.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. Ahh, more stop loss in action.

I should have guessed. They're not shy about using that this time around, are they?

[Atman]

5. But on CNN the headlines say Bush is only sending 10,000

It's all a bunch of propaganda bullshit. It's all lies. The ONLY point is to drag it out for two years, no matter how many troops are there. This is nothing but a stall. 100%. Kill more kids to protect Bush's legacy.

7. I'd like to send 20K troops to the White House to remove the current occupant

That's the only good use for them right now.

[JanusAscending]

11. Here, here ! I'll second that motion!!

n/t

8. The Republican Senator from Oregon will not support this, he reports nt

[Lex]

9. Reality is just non-existent for Bush.

I mean, :wtf:

[Marr]

15. This "surge" talk is all about moving the line of debate. That's *it*.

I don't think Bush really cares if they actually increase the number of troops in Iraq. His goal, as usual, is political. He's changed the subject from "should we be there at all?" to "should we commit more troops?".

There's nothing to win in Iraq- anyone can see that. The Bush Administration simply wants to maintian the status quo until they leave office in a couple of years.

18. Will somebody ask the pretender-in-chief where and how he came

up with that number. He pulls a number out of his ass and no one (read.. media) questions the number. They just call it a surge (Bushie words).

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. There's a poll in my Repub area and more than 60% disagree w/it

They usually vote about 60% Repub here.
