From Nancy Pelosi's Blog:

Here's the deal, Nancy, there's no justification for sending 20,000 more troops to Iraq. No matter what President Bush says. There's no justification at all. The President is sending 20,000 more troops so that he can't be accused of not sending more troops. The President is sending 20,000 more troops because the other option didn't work, but this one isn't going to either. The President is sending 20,000 more troops so that he can postpone coming to terms with reality, which is that this war is a catastrophe. No matter how the President justifies this escalation - with add-ons like job training and buzz words like "metrics" and "benchmarks" - there's no justification for it; the only possible outcome is that more troops will be killed and wounded as patsies for an unjustifiable war.
