Three years after invading Iraq, after listening President Bush tell us how good things were going, how many Iraqi Army and police units were being trained and ready to "step up so we can step down", billions spent in the training, we're sending more Americans to Iraq. I hope none of you are surprised. Link below; my emphasis:

"The U.S. military is dispatching an Army battalion of about 700 soldiers to Iraq from their base in Kuwait to provide extra security during the holiday of Ashura, three military officers said Wednesday.

The move, which has not been publicly announced, comes amid a spike in sectarian violence and expectations that it likely will remain a problem as fractious Iraqi political leaders attempt to form a new government.

The 1st Armored Division battalion is expected to move into Iraq in the next few days, one officer said. The two officers who confirmed the move spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not yet been officially announced."
