The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the Pentagon is going to ask for some more troops (perhaps as many as 40,000 to join the 140,000 currently there) to go along with the rest of its plan for victory in Iraq. The rest of the plan:
– More industrial aid to Iraq
– An offensive against Muqtada al-Sadr’s Shiite insurgents
– Another offensive against the Sunni insurgents in Al Anbar province
Hopefully, the rules of engagement will be simple; see the enemy, kill same. Hopefully the ‘Rats in Congress will vote for victory instead of defunding, but I’m not holding my breath.
No, don’t hold your breath. Green eggs and.. traumatized my childhood. Blue eggs would destroy what sanity I have left. As for the rest, they haven’t fought this war the way it should have been in the first place. What makes anyone think they’ll start now?
Nope, no holding the breath! Turning blue is only attractive if you are making millions in Las Vegas, and then, it’s questionable. :)
