U.S. soldiers in Iraq urge Gates to send more troops ping!

And booze, and some Hooter girls...

"I really think we need more troops here. With more presence on the ground, more troops might hold them (the insurgents) off long enough to where we can get the Iraqi army trained up."

Quoted by whom? SPC Glenn, Robert Gates or a Reuters editor?

[westmichman]

"President Bush is expected to announce a new strategy in January for the unpopular war"

Thanks to you, Reuters (and the rest of the anti-American MSM)

Precisely why a SPC4 should NEVER be allowed to talk to the media. WTF does a SPC4 know about anything higher than MAYbe company-level tactics? Very little. WTF does a SPC4 know about how many troops should be needed to do the job in Iraq? Very little.

So why is the opinion of a SCP4 matter so much to a reporter? I'll listen to the theater commander's opinions and very few outside of that one man.

Funny, because I've watched both shawn hannity and Bill oreilly intyerview soldiers and ocmmanders and on both shows the soldiers were emphatic that no increases were needed yet. http://sacredscoop.com

......killed nearly 3,000 U.S. soldiers.

Reuters "LIES" as usual!!

There have been 2385 KIA's and that is much closer to 2000 than 3000!!

No one gives a damn about reporting the truth about this WAR, not FNC, not CBS, NBC etc. They all just short cut the truth to exploit the BIGGEST number possible!!

"However you characterize it, it's not good enough"...

This is what Gates told our TROOPS!

Hmmmmm... I am not sure I would be really excited about having the new guy come up to me, and tell me that what I have been doing..and my buddies have died doing, "isn't good enough"...

[airborne]

And use the air superiority we should be hammering the enemy with!!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Cue the Leftists at Daily Kos saying "da troops were threatened with death to say this!!!11111"
