CNN.com Reports:
President Bush asked his new secretary of defense to draw up plans to increase the overall size of the Army and the Marines, according to an interview with the president published Tuesday in the Washington Post."I'm inclined to believe that we do need to increase our troops -- the Army, the Marines," Bush said. "And I talked about this to Secretary Gates and he is going to spend some time talking to the folks in the building, come back with a recommendation to me about how to proceed forward on this idea."
Senior administration officials said the timing of the president's comments is connected with Washington's oncoming budget season, and that the president intends for such plans to be part of the fiscal 2008 budget.
What do you think of the Presidents new idea to send more troops into Iraq, a war which many believe we have already lost?

I believe that for the plan that Bush wants to move forward with, it is a good move. The US has become an occupational force, and we need more troops to support that job. Personally, I think we should leave ASAP!
