polls,Iraq,more troops, mercenaries

Following his State of the Union address, President Bush’s approval rating hits a new low .The president’s approval ratings are at their lowest point in the poll’s history—30 percent.

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday that he was working to accelerate the deployment of 21,500 additional U.S. troops to Iraq, suggesting that the influx of American troops is no longer contingent upon the Iraqi government fulfilling its commitments for Baghdad security operations.

In addition, did you know that there are over 25,000 American mercenaries ,civilian "contractors," providing "security" for money that are not subject to the US Military Laws?
