Unswayed by anti-war passions, President Bush will send 21,500 additional U.S. troops to Iraq and build the American presence there toward its highest level to quell worsening bloodshed. The move puts Bush on a collision course with the new Democratic Congress and runs counter to advice from some senior generals.
Set to announce his decisions in a prime-time speech Wednesday night, Bush was to acknowledge making major mistakes in Iraq, primarily failing to deploy enough U.S. soldiers and demand more Iraqi troops and cooperation to confront the country's near-anarchy.
In advance of Bush's address, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said U.S. military operations have been "handcuffed by political interference by Iraqi leadership" — but now will proceed under rules allowing troops to confront Shiite militias as well as Sunni insurgents.

The new Democratic leaders of Congress met with Bush and complained afterward that their opposition to a buildup had been ignored. "This is the third time we are going down this path. Two times this has not worked," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Why are they doing this now? That question remains."
Senate and House Democrats are arranging votes urging the president not to send more troops. While lacking the force of law, the measures would compel Republicans to go on record as either bucking the president or supporting an escalation.

Time to call CSPAN folks!
HI CC
I'M SO TIRED BUT I HAD TO SEE THIS SPEECH!
caps off
Durbin the Jerk is up now
Says we are not winning the war in Iraq
The President KNOWS how to fight the war. It's some of the Congress Critters on the Hill that don't know how to fight...and WIN a war.
None of the networks are carrying Durbin! LOL
I think that he was referring to getting Europe to embargo Iran.
Now time for the French response speech on TV.
The Democrats are responding....Turbin Durbin is on!!!
I think his tie has a hint of the purple finger color...Good catch, maica!
The Rats have demanded and are getting equal time????
!!!!
What the freaking hell is this all about?? This isn't about a political campaign.
This is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLICK, my TV os OFF!
They can't defeat shit. They can defund the troops in the field or they can STFU.
Now Durbin is up sounding like a middle schooler.
"Between you and I, he is the front runner... and I talk to a lot of folks while not looking at polls."
Anyone who is versed on the issues and wants someone tough on terrorism and immigration - and not a moderate like MCCAIN or Juliani - (I prefer extremists): Anyone of these people prefers Hunter over what has thus far been presented. We need a hawk in office.
F@#$ YOU Dick Durbin you surrendering traitor!
