Massive Bush tidal wave swamps blogosphere
"There is no magic formula to success in Iraq..." so the president started. And this morning his words are fueling a tidal surge of commentary. While politics always plays an important role in online communities, there are generally other competing interests and issues: technology, entertainment, sex.
But not this morning. It's Bush and more Bush.
Troops to come from Carolina, Kansas
According to Pentagon sources, the additional troops will come from a brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and the 4th Brigade based in Fort Riley, Kansas.
Additional troops will follow from Fort Lewis in Washington and Fort Stewart and Fort Benning in Georgia,
the sources said. There are about 135,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.
In Baghdad, Iraqi soldiers will take the lead, with backup from the Americans, the officials said. The Iraqi army will add three army brigades to Baghdad to make it an Iraqi-led operation. The additional
troops will be sent to Iraq in phases, officials said.
