And first on the ground is 82nd Airborne, my hometown terrorist killer. I wish them well. As General Patton said "No b*stard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb b*stard die for his country". I hope our guys and gals heed it well.
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 Wednesday.
An additional battalion of roughly 800 troops from the same division
are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday. Eighty percent of the
sectarian violence occurs within a 30-mile radius of Baghdad, so that
is where most of the additional troops will be concentrated.
