"It was called "Operation Together Forward". Remember that old wheeze? It was the military operation whose name was so wretched that I assumed it could only have been named by Democrats. And it was an absolute fucking failure.
The plan was announced on 14 June 2006 by the then-recently installed Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and intended to increase security conditions in Baghdad through instituting major new measures. Operation Together Forward was planned as an operation to be led primarily by Iraqis but with Coalition support and would put about 70,000 security forces on the streets of Baghdad.
70,000 troops didn't get the job done in the summer, so what makes BushCo think that an additional 15,000 to 30,000 now is going to be able to accomplish what they couldn't? This is delusional claptrap. It's bullshit of the first water."
