It feels funny in my mouth NOT to say Bush is sending troop (aka “surge”) to Afghanistan. Then again, shouldn’t we have done this to begin with?
President-elect Barack Obama intends to sign off on Pentagon plans to send up to 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, but the incoming administration does not anticipate that the Iraq-like “surge” of forces will significantly change the direction of a conflict that has steadily deteriorated over the past seven years.
Gear up, troopers. Although I’m sure you’ve had orders for months now.
