Thats bull, if he wanted to "step it up" he would have sent more than 20,000 troops. We are going from 130,000 troops to 150,000, not much of a difference. If he sent 100,000 I wouldn't be happy but I would at least see his point, but I don't get 20,000.

Well 20,000 is like a 15 % or so increase - not a negligible increase.
Other Possibilities:
1) certain number needed for a specific task ie: securing Baghdad
2) didn't think he could get anymore
3) doesn't have anymore to spare
4)???
