More than 20,000 extra troops are going to Iraq to try a last ditch to swamp the country, and hand it over to the Iraq Government. This is another one of bush political moves.

A politican engaging in political moves. Whatever next?

I dont think 20,000 troops will "swamp" the country as you put it. They are only going to be some use if they hold the line for a while until the Iraqi's can take over.

Mark, What do you propose should be the future of Iraq? Partition, fundamentalist Islamic state, any other suggestions......

It's hard to tell at present, as the future of Iraq is not looking good. I think it wont be repaired for at least 5 or 10 years. Bush needs to send in more troops as there isn't enough to police the country.

They'll need a few more than 20K. That's probably about one soldier every 8.37 square miles by my maths.... Smile
