Pentagon struggles to find fresh troops
By Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Military leaders are struggling to choose Army units to
stay in Iraq and Afghanistan longer or go there earlier than planned,
but five years of war have made fresh troops harder to find.
Faced with a military buildup in Iraq that could drag into next year,
Pentagon officials are trying to identify enough units to keep up to
20 brigade combat teams in Iraq. A brigade usually has about 3,500 troops.
The likely result will be extending the deployments of brigades
scheduled to come home at the end of the summer, and sending others
earlier than scheduled.

If they will stop telling lies about Democrats,
we will stop telling the truth about them." -
