What would you do with more troops? Station a couple in each home?
Where would you get them? get Congress to rescind the cap on troop strength? We are currently cutting thousands in the AF due to that. Then would you re-institute the draft? How would you pay them? A huge tax increase? [/B]

We are "currently" cutting thousands in the AF......is that because of "your hero" Bush II? LMAO
It may be too late now, the insurgency was allowed to grow unchecked for so very long now....it would've been prudent (as requested by generals at the time) to invade at the beginning with the necessary number of troops. Now it's trying to gain control over a preventable out-of-control situation.
