Troop surge the only way

WATCHING George Bush’s speak on the troop surge in Iraq, I wished he had ended his pronouncements with ‘Because of my failed policies, lies and deceptions’ as to why more troops are needed, the increase in insurgent activity, sectarian violence, etc.

However, it’s our only option now and we must not lose this war that Bush’s misguided leadership has placed my nation in. This time, albeit reluctantly, I’m backing his call for more troops to stabilise Iraq.
