Is this a surge or an augmentation?

The Bush administration is poised to get the printing presses at the Treasury fired up again as they plan to pour an additional 8 billion USD into Afghanistan. After all they've being pouring money into Iraq by the bucket load and that has turned out so well!

They also plan to send more troops but as there aren't to spare (see "Iraq surge") they will make up the difference by keeping the ones that are there already there longer.
