AP : U.S. to Expand Military Force in Iraq

Yahoo! News - U.S. to Expand Military Force in Iraq

At the beginning of 1965, there were 23,000 troops in Vietnam. By the fall of 1965, there were 150,000. By 1967, there were over a half million US troops fighting and dying for a corrupt Vietnamese government on behalf of a populace that didn't want us there.

Is this "expansion" to a higher troop level--150,000--a temporary fix to the chaos in Iraq? Or is it the beginning of a series of escalations?
