Pentagon Plans to Send More Troops to Iraq

Send More Troops to Iraq at the same time we announce that we may soon (don't hold your breath) start a gradual withdrawal.

Although much public attention has been focused recently on the prospect of reducing U.S. forces next spring and summer, defense officials foresee the likelihood of first increasing troop levels.
Lawrence Di Rita, spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, noted Monday that troop levels were raised last January during Iraq's first elections, and then returned to the current level of about 138,000 several weeks later.

Talk about double-speak. Increase the troops tomorrow - lower the troop level to a figure still higher than today = brag about lowering the level. Wow - is that what you call fuzzy math?
