Official: First wave of troops to Iraq by Jan. 30

quote[A first wave of additional U.S. troops will go into Iraq before the end of the month under President Bush’s new plan, a senior defense official said Tuesday.

Up to 20,000 troops will be put on alert and be prepared to deploy under the president’s plan, but the increase in forces on the ground will be gradual, said the official, who requested anonymity because the plans have not yet been announced.]


What a nightmare! I hope Congress can somehow block this.

Just so you know how unpopular this is, only 17% of Americans approve of this surge. That means that half of Bush's base don't even support this!
