How many more coalition troops will be joining the American surge?

[Hubert Flottz]

Don't forget Poland. Will the UN be sending troops and peace keepers? Will Exxon be sending troops?

1. Isn`t this the reason behind the US push to be

in charge of the UN troops???

[hashibabba]

12. Oh my God...who would be crazy enough to allow Bush to control

the UN troops? This won't really happen, will it? Aren't there only a few republics who would be stupid enough to push that idea?

13. The main thing the PNAC and Bush want to control in Iraq is Oil!

It's why nobody but American contractors and Bush Cronies, have been allowed any power, or say-so, in Iraq so far. It's a family affair!

2. eleven

6. OMG, the bad guys ain't got a chance!

I think Bush needs to turn John McCain and Joe Lieberman loose on Baghdad in their bomber jackets.

[malaise]

3. LOL

Have Barney and Laura signed up yet?

[Hubert Flottz]

7. Bush is going to reveal Barney's last name in the speech tonight

(Barney Badass) It's the Fuhrer's newest secret weapon.

4. I heard Britain has already said no more troops would be sent.

I guess the love affair between Bush and Blair has finally hit the skids.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. I wonder how many Billion pounds of dollars the Poodle will chip

in, to pay for Bush's latest "VISION"?

5. Isn't the Pentagon in contact with Tonga and Andorra for major deployments?

Maybe Estonia could pony up 2 or 3 if bribed sufficiently.

Of course, we can count on all of our allies in the Middle East....

8. The Horror The Horror...

They'll whack everybody that's old enough to die!

9. Who will help me bake the bread,

said the Little Red Hen.

10. See George...See George Lie...Lie George Lie!

George Lies Fast!

14. none from Australia thankfully

Mr Bush spent much of yesterday telephoning the leaders of friendly nations, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Mr Howard, who was enjoying his annual leave at his official residence at Kirribilli when the President called about 8am.

Mr Vaile (acting PM) said Australia had "not had any request as far as any (troop) increases are concerned".

.....

Australia has 1400 military personnel deployed in the Middle East, including 800 soldiers based in Iraq, most involved in training Iraqi security forces. A security detachment of 110 troops is based in Baghdad to provide protection and escort for Australian government officials working in the embassy.

Unfortunately for the USA it is going to be your sacrifice of young men and women in uniform alone.


Peace

15. I hate to see anyone else die for Exxon's shareholders and CEO.

This is a disaster. So damned sad...
