  1. I believe "plusup" is spelled "e-s-c-a-l-a-t-i-o-n."

    If they send the 10th Mountain Div, it would be the "Surge of The Light Division."

    Each division is broken down into four brigades.

    PS: Good joke, though
     
  4. Fred Kagan is one of the pony-seeking intellectuals behind the surge.
    Here's one of his suggestions:

    "The president must request a substantial increase in ground forces end strength. This increase is vital to sustaining the morale of the combat forces by ensuring that relief is on the way. The president must issue a personal call for young Americans to volunteer to fight in the decisive conflict of this generation."

    Please, Fredo, pretty please, do this, so we can all talk about a) the National Guard again, and b) the current location of every Bush child of age. Please do this. Please.

    Volunteer to fight? I thought we were training Iraqis to fend for themselves,
     
  6. Of course, the "surge" is causing complications elsewhere.

    I reread 1984 a couple of months ago. It's funny how my understanding of the book changed since high school.
