Reply #7: Why aren't more details being discussed? [View All]

Things that I never hear talked about whenever a "surge" of troops, usually estimated to be in the tens of thousands at least, is discussed are, from where are we getting all of these extra troops and even if we do actually have the numbers, how is this going to affect our military's preparedness and ability to handle any other crises that might occur during what would appear to be essentially a "re-invasion" of Iraq. The lack of discussion about these issues (at least from the news coverage that I have observed) is very discomforting. Given what we all have learned about Bush and his syncophants in his administration, I fear that they will once again fail to think things through and even more troops and Iraqi civilians will be needlessly slaughtered :-(
