Troop Surge Already Under Way
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 10, 2007— 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 today.
An additional battalion of roughly 100 troops from the same division are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday.
It is the first small wave of troops in a new White House strategy that is expected to put more than 20,000 additional U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq and likely require new call-ups of the National Guard.

I'm not sure where the link is supposed to go, but this story doesn't surprise me.
I'm not quite sure how Bushie can send more troops without congressional approval. Let's see how all this plays out.
I said he would send more troops no matter what the Congress or American people had too say.
I truly believe its time to Impeach him and Dark Lord Dick {Hermann Goering} Cheney.
Either that or appeal to the World to remove him and his Gestapo Minions from power.
God Bless.
Stan, I fixed the link. I hate bloggers' link thing, and usually use the Dkos one.
Keith Olbermann had a kiiler segment on the war tonite, I hope Crooks and Liars has it up to share!
Paddy - Thanks! I was able to read the article. I thought it odd:
"A senior White House official said that Maliki told the president, "I swear to God, I'm not going to let Sadr run this country.""
Does Maliki believe in God or Allah?
He could have saved us all a lot of time by coming on and saying:
1. You can’t stop me from sending troops, I already sent ‘em! Hah!
2. We’re going to be fishing reeeeeally hard for a Gulf of Tonkin with Iran.
I’m sure the networks would have appreciated his not pre-empting their shows, and would have been glad to promote a speech that lasted as long as a commercial break just as heavily. And I wouldn't be so hungover right now.
living near a major airforce base -- i can always tell when things esculate -- and the past week has been super busy in the skys here...sigh
Anon - That may still be in the cards.
Paddy - Which one? It might be on YouTube. . .
Stan - technically one and the same, but I get your point.
Undeniable - SEE what happens when you play that game!!! ;) Hope you're feeling better by now. . .and I'll stop yelling. . .
AZ - They've (National Guard) been scrambling quite abit overhead here, too.
