The U.S. Is Sending More Troops Into Iraq.

Source: The New York Times

Things are going so well in Iraq right now that Gen. George W. Casey Jr. has decided to move 3,500 reservists into a dangerous part of Iraq to help stop recent uprisings.

Just look at the mess Bush created in Iraq.

The top American commander in Iraq has decided to move reserve troops now deployed in Kuwait into the volatile Anbar Province in western Iraq to help quell a rise in insurgent attacks there, two American officials said Monday.

Although some soldiers from the 3,500-member brigade in Kuwait have moved into Iraq in recent months, Gen. George W. Casey Jr. has decided to send in the remainder of the unit after consultations with Iraqi officials in recent days, the officials said.

The confirmation that the number of American forces in Iraq would grow came on a day of soaring violence in Baghdad. Two Britons working as members of a CBS News television crew were killed on Monday and an American correspondent for the network was critically wounded when a military patrol they were accompanying was hit by a roadside bomb.


Are things really getting better in Iraq?

From the outside looking in, I would say things are getting worse, and Bush has no real plan or exit strategy to get out of the quagmire he created.
