Kinda funny too, hearing the Dems bitch about the troop increase, when, in their own words:
Pelosi: "What I would do and what I think our country must do in Iraq is take an assessment of where we are. And there has to be a leveling with the American people and with the Congress of the United States as to what is really actually happening there. It's very hard to say what you would do. We need more troops on the ground."
Reid: "If it's for a surge, that is, for two or three months and it's part of a program to get us out of there as indicated by this time next year, then, sure, I'll go along with it."
Biden: "Not enough troops. Not enough people. And the inability to seal the border with Syria. And having squandered 18 months in a real definite training program for the Iraqi police and the Iraqi military. They're the reasons I think we're behind the curve, in addition to not distributing the money to reconstruct."
Reyes: "We have to consider the need for additional troops to be in Iraq, to take out the militias and stabilize Iraq … We certainly can’t leave Iraq and run the risk that it becomes [like] Afghanistan"
