Oh for crying out loud. You're missing the point that he is obviously completely correct. Their aren't enough troops and now you discount his insightful comments prior to the problem eventuating as the ramblings of a political appointee still trying to fight tha last war and not the next one .
Is it so hard to admit that it might be easier to keep the peace with the right number of troops there?
Is it only hard to admit that because to admit it would also be to admit that GWB would never have got permission to go make war if he said "We'll need at least $100b and a few hundred thousand troops"?
