A source at Baghdad police headquarters said local police in the area near Haifa Street, in central Baghdad, had found 27 bodies and called in reinforcements. When they arrived, they came under fire from gunmen.

But now McCain, as Olbermann mentioned, has upped it to 50k to 60k.
Guaranteeing no matter how much it backfires, it would have been better if we had just implemented plan 2.0.

PM: Baghdad Security Plan Is Now Ready
By SINAN SALAHEDDIN, Associated Press Writer
4:29 AM PST, January 6, 2007
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq's prime minister said Saturday that Iraqi forces will lead a new effort -- with U.S. help -- to wrest control of Baghdad's neighborhoods from militias and other sectarian killers.
"The Baghdad security plan is now ready, and we will depend on our armed forces to implement it with multinational forces behind them. Field leaders will ask for help from these forces if needed," Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in a speech at the 85th anniversary celebration of the Iraqi army.
Iraqi forces will begin a neighborhood-by-neighborhood assault on militants in the capital this weekend, as a first step in the new White House strategy to contain Sunni insurgents and Shiite death squads, key advisers to the prime minister said.
What's that *flowery* quote at the top of Malkin's blog, " The pen became a Hummer 2, or something?

Well up to this point, according the General Jack Keane, the "architect" of the McCain escalation plan about to be implemented by the administration, "We have never had a strategy to defeat the insurgency."
But now we do! The plan is to dump some troops in amongst the local population and just leave 'em there until the Iraqis, you know, just calm down: "What is different is you bring in a 24/7 force and they stay in those neighborhoods and they do not go back to their bases."
Should work like a charm, no?
