| A-skeered of being one-upped by the other Wizards of the Senate who're out pretending they're Prez, Johnny the Grate proclaims the obvious with the Weasel Werdz, "If necessary... blah³...". Well duh. IHT seems to think this deserves a Screamer Headline. I'm sure Johnny appreciates it - he needs to look like The Man™, needs a headline, needs to gen up some Sunday Talk Show Face Time. He's "calling" for more troops in Iraq, though the actual Generals don't seem to be as ecstatic... I wonder how much this IHT article cost him. |
KABUL, Afghanistan: Washington will send more troops to Afghanistan "if it's necessary," U.S. Senator John McCain said Saturday using measured words, as he urged increased training for Afghan security forces and the movement of European troops to the country's insurgency-plagued south.
McCain made a strong call on Thursday in Baghdad for 15,000 to 30,000 more U.S. troops in Iraq. But the Arizona Republican on Saturday gave a much feebler — and almost hesitant — endorsement for increased military support for Afghanistan.
