The U.S. military says another 3,700 American troops have arrived in the Iraqi capital to support the security crackdown launched in Baghdad in mid-February.
A statement Wednesday says the new brigade will help Iraqi security forces clear, control and retain key areas of Baghdad in order to reduce violence.
This is the fourth additional combat unit deployed in Baghdad as part of plans to add some 28,000 troops there. Note: Doesn't this sound like the years 1965 to 1972? Remember? Build up the troop level in Vietnam and then win. Here we go again. Stay tuned and watch the defeat that is sure to arrive. Just like Vietnam.
