Let the surge begin
A joint American-Iraqi offensive against insurgents will begin in Baghdad when additional U.S. troops arrive in-country. American officers tell the Washington Times that the offensive will dwarf all prior efforts [emphasis mine]:
"It's going to be an operation unlike anything this city has seen," Col. Doug Heckman added. "It's a multiple-order magnitude of difference, not just a 30 percent, I mean a couple hundred percent" larger than previous offensives.
All I can say is: 'Bout freakin' time.
