And these troops are going to come from WHERE?
I'll tell you where, kiddos: Feel that DRAFT?!?!
"Pentagon Plans to Add Forces to Afghanistan to Make Up for Shortfall by NATO"
"The Pentagon is considering sending as many as 7,000 more American troops to Afghanistan next year to make up for a shortfall in contributions from NATO allies, senior Bush administration officials said.
They said the step would push the number of American forces there to roughly 40,000, the highest level since the war began more than six years ago, and would require at least a modest reduction in troops from Iraq.
Or a DRAFT!
The planning began in recent weeks, reflecting a growing resignation to the fact that NATO is unable or unwilling to contribute more troops.... The shortfalls in troop commitments have cast doubt on claims by President Bush and his aides that NATO was stepping up to provide more help in Afghanistan....
Translation: Bush lied ... AGAIN!
The increasing proportion of United States troops, from about half to about two-thirds of the foreign troops in Afghanistan, would be likely to result in what one senior administration official described as “the re-Americanization” of the war....
Haven't you had enough, America?
