[QUOTE=CharmedPiper;156811]Iraq: Bush Expected To Announce U.S. Troop 'Surge'

January 5, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- U.S. President Bush is set to present the details of his new initiatives for Iraq next week -- on a day yet to be announced.
And, publicly at least, the administration so far has maintained the suspense over what those new initiatives will be.

"Bringing In More Troops?
Those leaks suggest the president and his team have decided to renew Washington's existing Iraq strategy rather than pursue alternatives. And they will do so by committing more troops to try to rein in Iraq's violence and by providing more money for reconstruction.

The reported centerpiece of the plan is to make some 20,000 troops available to strengthen forces as needed in Baghdad and -- secondarily -- in restive Al-Anbar Governorate.

To make these extra forces available would require the administration to mobilize reservists, extend current tours of duty, and accelerate planned deployments.

Media reports say some of the troops would go directly to their destinations in Iraq, while others could be kept in readiness as needed in Kuwait or the United States.

If fully deployed, the extra troops would double the number of U.S. combat troops in Baghdad. Their reported goal would be to roll back sectarian militias now responsible for most of the violence in the capital.

Some are already being shipped out. I have had 2 clients call this week to say their sons are being deployed next week!!

We also know that the world bank would not accept a reprint/lop as many stated at that time.

That can only mean one thing, that they the world bank has given their support to go back to a 1:1 level, but only with an increase in the exchange rate.

I completely agree with you Kiko, however since this is older news, we must take into the consideration that many countries are switching their US reserves to the Euro. This in fact would be a costly measure due to the difference in the two currencies. Now if Iraq decided to Peg their currency directly to the Euro instead of the US dollar, it may save them some money down the road, and in turn make us a little more comfortable. JMO Thanks.
