More U.S. Troops in Iraq... Why??

I'm sipping on a latte. I'm tired and feeling kind of sad after President Bush's speech Wednesday evening. The president wants more than 20,000 additional troops sent to Iraq.

The majority of Americans are opposed to the War in Iraq. As previously noted, I have chosen to capitalize "War" out of respect and concern for the soldiers and all who have been killed in Iraq, including soldiers and civilians.

Democratic leaders should not give the president the funding necessary for more troops to Iraq.

Violence in Iraq is causing an alarming number of deaths. It's a good reason to begin bringing troops home, the exact opposite of sending more troops. That's all I have to say at this moment.

I'm reading over what Democratic leaders had to say about the president's plan. My goal is to write an analysis article during the next few days or week.
