There was a Yahoo story yesterday afternoon about soldiers being surged. Sadly, it's their THIRD tour of duty.

| 2. KO said last night that there are some already there... |

the majority of deployments to Iraq are already in place (for months out) and they were in place before the surge speech..and those "added" troops were already slotted in...
the surge speech was after the fact

| 6. Yep, most of these folks got their orders |

Bush timed his speech to coincide with the deployment.
