The Old Switcharoo

President Bush said yesterday that we need more forces in Afghanistan. Duh! So what's the plan?

Mr. Bush noted that he has already extended the tour of a 3,200-soldier American brigade and called on Congress to provide $11.8 billion more to pay for operations in Afghanistan over the next two years.

He's extending soldier's tours. Once again, who's supporting the troops? And didn't Mr. Bush's proposal for the troop surge in Iraq involve moving troops from Afghanistan to Iraq? Is the brigade he's now keeping in Afghanistan the one he was going to move? Is he robbing Peter to pay Paul? Does he have any idea what he is doing?

I'm going to go with, "NO."

Jack Murtha proposed yesterday that President Bush cannot send more troops until they have the neccessary equipment. How ridiculous is it that the President needs to have someone tell him that you can't send troops into harm's way without body armor and armored vehicles?

We need more than a non-binding resolution to stop this man from destroying our country.
