A New Surge Forward?

Update:
Gates eats breakfast with soldiers, they agree with the call for more troops.
Critics say a surge would cause more casualties, others that it will be ever-the-more detrimental to the Iraqi government and police forces.
Commanders are contradicting lower-ranking troops, who were present at the breakfast with Gates.
Maybe it is understandable from the viewpoint of a lowly soldier, knowing what they are doing every day, the difficult jobs they face. Maybe this is why they see a need for more troops?
Gate's may be planning a step outside of the Green Zone closer to the weekend. Where he will be going cannot, at this time, be disclosed.
...whatever the prospective may be, the debate is far from ending.
Thoughts?
