"We do need and welcome more foreign troops into Iraq and there will be more foreign troops in Iraq,..."

I thought that was the problem. At least that's what I've been hearing; that the current wave of attacks are from foreign troops that have come into Iraq to fight the US and the UN.

We need to field more Iraqi troops. The establishment of an Iraqi constabulary is of the utmost urgency. At the beginning they should be blended with US special forces.

They will be far more effective than Euro troops. They can recognize the enemy. To a Euro they will all look alike.

But building an effective force will not go quickly. Until then, we will just have to tough it out. Abandoning the task at this state is not an option.

Times sure have changed.

I like this president but why can't he avoid using the unacceptable term "foreign troops"?
