President George W. Bush and Iraq's prime minister said on Tuesday more U.S. and Iraqi troops will go to Baghdad to try to slow violence in talks that exposed gaps between them on the Middle East.  It was unclear how the new plan would affect Pentagon hopes of reducing the U.S. troop deployment in Iraq by year's end, a move with an important political consideration given Republican efforts to maintain control of the U.S. Congress in November elections and the unpopularity of the war among many Americans.  Currently there are 127,000 American troops in Iraq.  Bush and Pentagon officials gave no indication how many U.S. troops might be involved in the Baghdad reinforcement.

It's a good thing this was supposed to be a quick war.  I cannot believe that we are going to deploy more troops to Iraq based on the way the war is going.  I don't understand the reason for this increase in troop count.  I cannot wait for this administration to be out of office so maybe there will be a change to this whole meaningless war.

What I don't understand is that the vast majority of American's are getting fed up with the war in Iraq, but yet President Bush is still sending in more troops to fight.  I personally am sick and tired of hearing about this whole mess.  The rate this is going, we are never going to get out of Iraq.  This administration has become so engulfed with the war in Iraq that they are totally blind to how the majority nation feels about the situation.  Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way.  Who knows?  All I do know is that no American can say that they want more troops to lose their lives.  All that is going to come from this troop increase is more loss of our soldier's lives.  I wish Bush and this horrible excuse for an administration could just for once take off their blindfolds and see this war for what it really is and listen to the people that elected them into office.
