it is not a good option to send troops to Iraq. the better option is to with draw forces and dispatching them to Afghanistan to curtail the activities of talibans who are more dangerous when compared to Saddam. it is better if Iraq's neighbors be engaged in Iraq war and leave the issue to the UN.

I love all you arm chair generals since there are so many brilliant people on yahoo why are you not running for office so America can benefit from your wisdom. This is like a bush bashing telethon if he sends more troops that's bad, if he does not send any that's bad, if he should every pull all of our troops out he will get criticize for wasting American lives and money and causing a civil war. If he did not invade Iraq and it was discovered that Iraq had funded some terrorist act he would have been crucified. The bush bashers are relentless no constructive ideas that make any sense just mindless criticism

to renate -
i'm pretty sure that the "additional troops" Bush is talking about are the exact troops you are talking about. it would have to be the ones who have already been there, because it would take forever to train 20,000 new troops. i guess you could take them from bases in other parts of the world, but they would still need the desert combat and counter-terrorism training or whatever.

So the guys that are there now are not sitting ducks.
We either have to pull everyone out - which Bush won't do - or bring in fresh people because some of those people are on their 4 th or 5th deployment.

Who the hell knows? Why did we ever send troops in the first place. Only Bush knows and I think he is insane!

too many are getting shot, so george has decided to send more. that way the percentage of casualtie to troop levels will go down and the american people can be led to believe we are winning an unwinnable war that is using up all our nations capital. besides, george doesn't want to admit he blew it from the beginning.

Bush doesn't want to give any regional political gains to Iran and Syria.
That's why he is obsessed with holding on to Iraq with an Iron Fist.
Iraq needs regional support.

Because we have a madman at the helm who actually thinks things are not as bad as they seem in Iraq. I'm guessing his hard core supporters will fall for that lie, but the 71% of Americans who dissaprove of his handling this war sure won't.

They get liberated and this is what happens. Put Saddam back in power.
