Iraq: The Fully Loaded Citrus Soda War!

Bush, ignoring EVERYBODY except, I guess, "God" and Barney, wants to make his pet war even more extreme:

President George W. Bush told U.S. lawmakers on Monday he has decided to send about 20,000 more troops to Iraq in a plan to be announced on Wednesday that Democrats denounced as an escalation of the war.

The White House said Bush would address Americans on his long-delayed new Iraq plan on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST.

Oregon Republican Sen. Gordon Smith, who a month ago said he could no longer support the war, was among senators who attended a White House meeting to discuss the president's emerging strategy for Iraq.

"It was clear to me that a decision has been made for a surge of, I suppose, 20,000 additional troops," Smith told reporters in a conference call after the meeting.

We must stop this madman. Thankfully, our new Democratic majority is hinting to do just so.
