Breaking News: Troop Surge Already Underway
So, we knew that Bush was sending 21,500 additional troops to Iraq, but Jesus, that was quick. [Hat tip to Kagro X at DKos.]
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 10, 2007- President Bush's speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in Iraq is already under way.
ABC News has learned that the "surge" Bush is expected to announce in a prime time speech tonight has already begun. Ninety advance troops from the 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Baghdad today.
An additional battalion of roughly 100 troops from the same division are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday.
Wasn't there supposed to be some bipartisan "working with Congress" or something along those lines before he sent in the additional troops?!?
BTW, is anyone going to watch the Shrub's speech tonight (9pm EST)? I don't think I'll be able to stomach it myself, and we already know everything he's gonna say anyways.
