Gates: U.S. Military to Grow by 92,000 Troops
January 11th, 2007Do you get it yet?
Via: MSNBC:
At a briefing to add details about President Bush’s new Iraq strategy, Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday said he would recommend increasing the Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 troops over the next five years.
On Iraq, Gates said that “failure in Iraq is not an option.”
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was also at the briefing, saying it was imperative for the Iraqi government to “re-establish civil order,” particularly in Baghdad.
Gates proposed adding 67,000 Army soldiers and 25,000 Marines, citing an annual increase of 7,000 for the Army and 5,000 for the Marines until the Marines reach 202,000 and the Army is at 547,000 troops.
The Army already has been authorized to boost the number of active-duty soldiers temporarily from 482,000 to a maximum of 512,000, although it has yet to reach that limit.
The need for war (and subsequent spoils) is structural. There is no going around it.

It seems everything is falling in place for a war against Iran. I had expected it to occur several months ago, but it didn’t for some reason or another.
