Bush considering more troops to send into Iraq; days from announcing

[NewMuslim]

Assalamu Alaykum
Now that Donald Rumsfailed has left office, Robert Gates has come in and proposed more troops for Iraq after, he claims, he went to Iraq, talked to some troops, and saw the "current situation". Dubya is thinking about this and is days away from announcing his decision. Meanwhile, the new Democrat-ruled Congress is opposed to this idea. But in a Democracy (or Republic), the President has [slightly] more power.

What do you think about this? Sorry for no news source, but this has been on News Stations all the time.

EDIT: Is this a repost? Sorry, was hitting "back" on my browser...

He's announced it: he's planning a troop surge to Iraq of 20,000.

There's a video about it on the left-hand side.

Let's hope that Congress denies it (as they're planning). If not, more troops will die, not to mention innocent civilians tortured and killed.
