From President Bush’s speech tonight:
Some Americans ask me, if completing the mission is so important, why don’t you send more troops? If our commanders on the ground say we need more troops, I will send them. But our commanders tell me they have the number of troops they need to do their job. Sending more Americans would undermine our strategy of encouraging Iraqis to take the lead in this fight.
Well then. Damn good thing we’re sending Capt. UberHusband over in two weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I support my husband and I support what he’s doing and his commitment to the U.S. Army.
However…it does irritate me to hear things like this. Of course, I could always do the glass-half-full thing and imagine the commanders, reclining back in their chairs after hearing Capt. UberHusband had been reactivated and saying…”Aha. That’s all we needed. Now we’re done.” {patriotic music swells in the background}
Time to go to bed. I’m sure I’ll be up early tomorrow.
