Troop surge already underway; Bush sends troops, no armor!

Jaime over at West of Shockoe is all over two disturbing breaking stories coming from the Bush administration tonight leading up to King George's speech this evening where he is expected to announce a U.S. troop "surge" of about 22,000+ troops to Iraq.

First, it looks like the "surge" is already underway. Second, it appears that Bush will be sending the new troops, but won't be sending the armor.

For the record, virtually NO ONE is behind this plan either. In fact, (if you can believe it) the percentage of Americans who support the troop "surge" plan is even lower than Bush's approval numbers! Now THAT'S saying something.

UPDATE: Wonkette has a post up on the early "surge" too.
