President Bush on Wednesday night will announce a plan to send about 20,000 more troops to Iraq in an effort to pacify Baghdad, a U.S. official said.

Bush intends to hand control of the country to Iraqi forces by November, the official said Tuesday.

Most of the additional troops will be deployed in Baghdad, where American and Iraqi troops fought a 10-hour street battle with insurgents on Tuesday. (Watch exclusive footage of the battle )

But about 4,000 would be deployed to restive Anbar province, the heart of the Sunni Arab insurgency, the official said.

1. Bush intends to hand control of the country to Iraqi forces by November

.... sounds like a time table to me. Once again bush lies through his teeth.

"I reject artificial time tables." Then he sets one

"I listen to the generals on the ground not politicians in Washington D.C.." Then he rejects
the advice of all his generals on the ground in Iraq and listens to Bill Kristol of Washington
D.C.

Only send 100 troops the rest can be made up of College republicans, the twins, Jeb's
spawn (except for the one in drug rehab), and all the Freepers & Rush listeners under 42.

Time for the right wing to put some skin in the game.

BTW to the Freepers who monitor every single post here ..... get your ass to the recruiting
station now.

Also my Dad is Korean war vet, , my brother works for the Navy in D.C. and was on his way to the
pentagon when it was hit, my best friend's brother was killed in Vietnam, and a 20 year + friend's
son is about to go to Iraq as a hummer driver this month.
