Blunder in Iraq, even Bush's own party is jumping ship

We finally heard from the President regarding his promised change of direction in Iraq, but it didn't sound good to me. I was hoping that everything we heard in the news was wrong and that Bush would announce troop redeployment and we would finally see our troops coming home.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen and instead Bush announced that he was sending 21,000 more troops to Iraq. The only thing that will come of this is more flag draped coffins will be sent back on planes from Iraq. He continues to put all the blame on the Iraqi and yet he hasn't done much to impress upon the Iraqi government that we will jot be there forever and that they need to step up and protect themselves.

Congress has begun digging in their heels to try and stop the planned escalation in Iraq and even one of Bush's own party has come out publically and attacked the planned escalation of troop numbers; calling it a Blunder. Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican from Nebraska is against any surge in troop levels in Iraq.
