US Soldiers Sacrificed for Mid-Terms

US troop numbers in Iraq have recently increased to 147,000. Is this recent and long overdue troop strength increase just an attempt to temporarily quell the violence and diminish the bloodshed just a bit as we approach the November mid-terms? Why wait till now? Why were the badly needed troops held back for so long to begin with?

Answer: because to have done otherwise would have proven Rumsfeld and Feith dead wrong in their promises of troop reductions following the toppling of Saddam's regime. Rumsfeld and Feith are directly responsible for over 20,000 American soldiers dead and wounded due to their blatant incompetence. But the ultimate blame lies with their salesman president named George W. Bush.
