Mullen calls for more troops
Stars and Stripes reports this morning that Admiral Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress yesterday that he may need more toops and more resources to win in Afghanistan;
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the war is growing more complicated and the enemy gaining in sophistication. Winning will require more resources from outside Afghanistan, including more troops, Mullen told Congress.
“A properly resourced counterinsurgency probably means more forces, and without question, more time” and dedication, Mullen said.
Last week, as reported by McQ at Blackfive, Nancy Pelost doesn’t see the “support” for increasing forces and resources in Afghanistan. Uncle Jimbo reminds us that this is just an echo from our past.
Also echoing from our recent past is Pete Hegseth and the Vets For Freedom who are passing around a petition asking Congress to give our troops the funding they need and give our military leaders the resources they need to fight this war. You can sign the petition at this link.

Speaking of VVF .. I can’t help but think of the group’s former opposition — Vote Vets. Jon Soltz is nothing but a Dem hack … therefore it will be funny to see Soltz advocate for troop increases just because there is a Democrat in the White House. Too bad Jon Soltz won’t be joining the effort himself. Isn’t it funny that Jon Soltz has remained active in the Reserve component (drilling every month) yet never was again called upon since he completed his 4 month tour of duty in Iraq over 6 years ago … ? Maybe Soltz will sign Vets For Freedom’s petition … just joking .
