Thousands More Troops Slated For Afghanistan

Officials in Washington announce at least 18,000 more U.S. troops will be in Afghanistan by late spring. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff says the influence of the Taliban is spreading.




Marching Off To War

Pentagon leaders
Get down and dirty.
Thousands more soldiers,
Eighteen to thirty,
To Afghanistan
Come sometime this Spring
To bolster committment
And, of course, do their thing.
Adm'ral Mike Mullen
Says they're needed on hand,
Since the Taliban's spreading
Throughout all the land.
