75,000 forces to be deployed in Baghdad

[Psycho4Bud]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi security forces planned to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers in Baghdad Wednesday as part of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's ambitious plan to crack down on security in the capital, a top Iraqi police official said.

The prime minister said late last month that he had a plan to restore order for the capital's 6 million residents, who have suffered the most from suicidal killers, roadside bombs and sectarian death squads. But he was hamstrung for weeks by political infighting.

With new defense and interior ministers finally in place, al-Maliki said in a news release dated Monday but released Tuesday that he would be ready to formally unveil his plan within the next two days.

The Shiite prime minister said the plan will include securing roads into and out of Baghdad, banning people from carrying weapons and implementing a 9 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew, but he did not provide more details.

Maj. Gen. Mahdi al-Gharrawi, the commander of public order forces under the Interior Ministry, told The Associated Press that the plan would launched at 6 a.m. Wednesday, with 75,000 Iraqi and multinational forces deployed in Baghdad. He said it would be the biggest operation of its kind in Baghdad since the U.S. handed over sovereignty to Iraq in June 2004.

I hate to say it but if they plan to in this war it need to be that tight everywhere. I figure we need to deploy about 300,000 more troops if we plan to accomplish anything.
