Hey, we need those troops in Ohio and Florida!

Even though major combat operations supposedly ended on May 1, 2003 (remember "Mission Accomplished"?) and the Bush administration assured us that stabilizing Iraq would not require more troops than it took to topple Baghdad, we're sending another 12,000 troops to Iraq to help stabilize the country so they can hold their elections on January 30.

It'll take more than 12,000 additional troops to stabilize Iraq, and more than the Bush brand of "democracy" to create an atmosphere in which fair elections can be held...
