Did I miss the "confirmed" 4,000 troop increase?

That was taking Pakistan to the world stage, giving them a dunce hat and telling them to sit the corner.

It is one thing to do that in private.

But in a world wide press conference?

That is something else and speaks volumes.

The President said he would not release the number of troops or when they will strike ... but strike they will!

No, you did not miss it—he simply did not say how many troops we are committing because he does not want to telegraph our plans to the enemy.

Unless the previous CIC.

Great Speech. I think that was a planned “leak” or something that was mentioned. Never confirmed. Trump doesn’t signal his moves, but to be sure Pakistan is NOW on notice - get rid of your terrorists or funding to you stops. India will help like China did to stop NK - or there will be economic consequences.

I didn't hear that...in fact, I recall him saying he wouldn't announce anything ... anything ... ahead of time.
