Bush's new Iraq strategy next week - Theme: Sacrifice

One more week, another 20 US dead. The solution, more "sacrifice."
The BBC was told by a senior administration source that the speech setting out changes in Mr Bush's Iraq policy is likely to come in the middle of next week.

Its central theme will be sacrifice.

The speech, the BBC has been told, involves increasing troop numbers.

The exact mission of the extra troops in Iraq is still under discussion, according to officials, but it is likely to focus on providing security rather than training Iraqi forces.


They don't have a mission. They're going to escalate without a mission.

  • Sacrifice?

    What are they Aztecs? Where are the virgins? Couldn't we goats?

  • Perhaps the sacrifice is our sense of reality.

    More likely, hundreds of young, fighting age males.
