did he bother to say how many was "enough"? Did he say he would back sending "enough"?

ofcourse not.

Yeah, I had three semesters of Arabic, , so I'm done for now, but it may come in handy later. You never know.

The problem is we don't have "enough" to send more. We don't have enough to send the 20,000 or so that he wants, nor do I think we should. I'm not sure if Bush is gutsy or crazy at this point. Its one thing to go against a Democratic minority, but he is now going against the American people, the Democratic majority, a growing minority of Republicans, and some of his commanders on the ground. He is gambling his political career and his legacy on this moves. I just wish our men and women in uniform weren't his poker chips.
