Sun, 14 Jan 2007 12:46:10 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2007/01/11/rice-augmentation/#comment-1447665 [...] Condi Rice repeatedly called Bush’s escalation of the war an “augmentation” during last week’s Senate Foreign Relations hearing on Bush’s New Iraq strateg. You know where that word is used the most? As a reference to breast implant jobs. I guess I could almost agree with Rice that Bush’s new war plan is a “boob job”. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tried her best to make this escalation plan more palatable to the American public. “I think that I don’t see it, and the president doesn’t see it, as an escalation,” Rice told an incredulous Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE). Hagel responded, “Putting 22,000 new troops, more troops in, is not an escalation?” Rice said. . . . . . I would call it, Senator, an augmentation that allows the Iraqis to deal with this very serious problem that they have in Baghdad.
