A State Department official told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that the number of U.S. troops in Haiti will increase yet again. Just a few weeks ago, the Bush administration announced that they would send a "team" of Marines to protect the U.S. embassy. Within days, this "team" included more than 1,000 members. Shortly thereafter, the Bush Administration declared that the 1,000 Marines would double to 2,000 Marines. Now we are informed that U.S. forces in the impoverished nation will more than double from the current 1,600 to nearly 3,500. Looks like fuzzy math to me.
