The Cheney Administration: Increase The Surge of Deaths in Iraq

May 9, 2007 (EIRNS)--While the majority of the American people are calling on Congress to find a way to shorten the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Bush Administration is clearly still planning to lengthen it.

The Pentagon on May 8 told 35,000 Army soldiers they should prepare to be sent to Iraq this Fall. The deployment orders signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates would allow continuation of the troop "surge" through the end of the year, according to the Pentagon, which claimed that this decision had not been made.
