I do and here is why:
Let's not forget the decision to go to war was base on intelligence available at the time. Every intelligence agency in the world were reporting Sadam had WMD. Base on those intelligence the President made the right choice. But as it turns out Iraq didn't have WMD. Therefore, since we've already disturbed peace in the region the least we can go is to restore it by any mean necessary. Which is why I agree with the President to increase the troop level. I even think 21,000 is not enough. I don't agree with the DEMs who want to cut and run. They are opposing the President's plan but yet have not alternative to offer.

The idea of increasing troop levels is a good thing. He should even go higher. When there is crime on the streets of America what do we do? We put more cops On the eh street. And yes crime has gone down. Crime has gone down 26% since Bush was put into office.
Putting more troops into those areas that are the greatest threat will do a lot to bring stability to the region.
3000 in 4 yrs in Iraq
3000 in 1 day in the USA
where do you want the fight.
No Rush and Hannity did not call me

In the first place no intelligence agency anywhere said that Saddam had WMDs. They said he was working to develop them. Bush and Blair were the only ones saying he actually had them. Second, there is nothing new about this plan, it's the exact same thing we tried in Nam. When Kennedy sent our troops over there it was to train the ARVN. When nothing came of that, Johnson started the escalation. Third, the only reason there was peace in the region was because we put Saddam in power, and he created the must brutal police state in the world. The Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds do not want peace, until they do there can never be one. Nothing anyone, Republican or Democrat, can do is going to change that. Bush is ignoring that reality, as he has so many others.

Why is everyone blaming BUSH? All the other people in the cabinet decide what to do, he just delivers the message to the public. He can't send 21.000 troops to Iraq without them getting paid. someone had to approve the allocation of those funds. Food and weapons, that's another dept. and on, and on, and on. I still think they had WMD's and were transported to other country's underground. Ever heard of Blo-Crete? It's a mixture of sand and asuper fast drying type of glue applied with a borring tool. It sucks the sand out and at the same time applies the mixture which by the time the end of the borring (which is about 12ft long) the tunnel is already dry.

It really will not matter, We are entering an election cycle for the White house. So party lines are begin drawn and the left will not want to be perceived as supporting the opposition, will not play well in the polls.
Proof in point nothing but sound bites from the left, and no plan at all on the table....

No, I don't agree with it... Iraqis are ain the middle of a civil war, and we have no business to be in between. I want peace in that region more than anyone, but if they want to kill each other over who was a prophet and who's not, let them go for it. Why put the US Military in between that. We're pretty much just caught in a crossfire. It's silly for us to be there.
And Democrats don't want to cut and run, douche - bag. God, some of you people are so ignorant.

I agree with you to a point. You didn't mention that problem he is attempting to address, securing former insurgent strongholds, has been a problem long before now. A lot of lives could have potentially been saved if he had acted sooner.

No, I don't care if you send 2 million troops, if they have to act like Boyscouts, they won't win.

Wow, you're opinion is a real surprise coming from a bush supporter, it's almost as if Rush and Hannity personally phoned you and gave you your opinion.
