LIAR

OK - Keith reported on this last night - the actual number for the "augmentation" of troops is between 32,000 and 48,000 because Mr. Bush didn't include support troops.

President Bush and his new military chiefs have been saying for nearly a month that they would "surge" an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq, in a last, grand push to quell the violence in Baghdad and in Anbar Province. But a new study by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says the real troop increase could be as high as 48,000 -- more than double the number the President initially said.

Bush, being Bush, may send less support troops in because he "supports" the troops so why would they need someone to transport gas, tend to their wounds, cook, act as MP's when they have him? Don't forget that it's already been reported that the surge troops won't have the proper equipment to protect then such as armored vehicles.

He is a liar.
