Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Thursday directed about 3,500 U.S. troops who have spent the past year in Iraq to stay up to four months past their scheduled departure date, boosting the size of the U.S. force amid unrelenting violence in Baghdad, officials said.
The move, involving the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team from Fort Wainwright in Alaska, was the latest sign that any significant reduction in the size of the 130,000-strong U.S. force in Iraq is unlikely any time soon.
Army officials initially said 2,500 soldiers would be extended but later said the number was 3,500.
That’s right. Rummy pulled an old “sike out” on our troops. With this type of managment, is it any wonder why people don’t enlist? Is it any wonder why our soldiers snap and go out and kill and/or rape civilians? We will have a new generation of Vietnam vets thanks to the total incompetence of the Bush administration.
