The surge is up to 26,000
(Reuters) Bush approves 4,400 more troops for Iraq.
Then he tried to hide it, "He (Bush) signed it on Friday night and released it on Saturday while on a Latin America tour."
Saturday media coverage, and no questions from the US press.
Later: Also, 3,500 more troops for Afghanistan, plus the already announced deployment extension of another 3,500.

Off topic: Did you see the McClatchy article tying Rove to the Iglesias firing? I seem to remember Rove offering an on-camera denial that he had anything to do w/ the firing, now the New Mexico GOP chair says he complained directly to Rove about Iglesias after the Bush-appointed U.S. attorney wouldn't pull the trigger on an indictment that would've ostensibly helped out the GOP pre-midterm election and Rove told him, "He's gone."
If I were John Conyers, I would be subpoenaing Rove to appear before the House Judiciary Committee next week when the hearings continue and ole' Harriet Miers will be making an appearance.

No, I didn't. My Saturday reading is usually thinner, but that is HUGE.
It ties the firing for political motivations directly into the political arm of the White House.
(I don't remember a blanket Rove denial, but that doesn't mean much.)
Thanks a ton for the link. Will blog it and credit.
