RW patriots urgently needed for the escalation!

Glenn Greenwald has a great blog entry today. The "surge experts" are saying they'll need 30,000 troops and 18 months (impeccable timing eh?) for it to be successful. Greenwald calls out the 101st Fighting Keyboardists!

ATTENTION: War supporters - Your Country Needs You!

One of the two principal architects of the "surge" strategy about to be adopted by the President is Frederick Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute. He recently appeared at an AEI event with the other surge architect, Ret. Gen. Jack Keane (along with surge advocates Sens. McCain and Lieberman), to detail and defend his plan. Kagan thereafter issued an "Executive Summary" to accompany a report detailing what the "surge" plan requires in order to succeed (h/t Chasm).

Kagan makes it absolutely clear that an increase in the number of available troops and American military volunteers is critical to the success of the surge specifically, and for "victory" in the war in Iraq generally, and he therefore emphasizes how urgent it is for more Americans to enlist in the military if we are to Win:

Victory in Iraq is still possible at an acceptable level of effort. We must adopt a new approach to the war and implement it quickly and decisively. . . . This approach requires a national commitment to victory in Iraq:

The president must request a substantial increase in ground forces end strength. This increase is vital to sustaining the morale of the combat forces by ensuring that relief is on the way. The president must issue a personal call for young Americans to volunteer to fight in the decisive conflict of this generation.

Oh and how about their call for Bush to urge more volunteers to fight this most decisive conflict of this generation. That'll be a riot when you consider his record and that NONE of the Bush kids are fighting. That's includes all of the Bush kids not just Jenna and Babs. Do you think anyone will see the hypocrisy when he does that? I can't wait.
