Bush denied the troop surge was a Vietnam style escalation. In public, W the President clearly said only 21,500 additional troops were being temporarily deployed.
Just another Nixon style lie!
Nearly as soon as the ink was dry on the newspapers, another 4,000 support troops were added. Then, another 9,000. Then, 15,000 were given extended tours. Now, another 13,000 Guard troops have been notified to be ready to move out early.
So, a small troop surge of 21,500 in GOP math is more like an excalation of 50,000 to 60,000 troops.
Vietnam taught us all a lot of lessons. It seems like telling the truth wasn't one of those lessons.
