3,500 Troops Surge Home
The U.S. military says 3,500 soldiers sent to Iraq last summer as part of the so-called surge will soon be leaving.What's with the "so-called"? Whazzat mean, anyway? I understand they're mocking the term, but what's its derivation? TW? A military statement released late Monday says the soldiers will redeploy to the U.S. in the coming weeks. The increase in troops - along with the rise of Sunni fighters who turned against al-Qaida and a truce called by Shiite militias Credited? You think there's some other mystical explanation? Ya gotta love the AP! Posted by: Bobby 2008-05-06 |
