Sniper, you say that we needed more troops for the initial military operation, yet it went rather smoothly. I value your opinion, but cleary the toppling of the SH regime was a walk in the park. The aftermath has grown into a mess, but I am not sure that more troops alone would neccesarily have prevented that. On one hand you state that our losses are low compared to past military conflicts, but in your next breath you claim Rumsfeld botched it from the start.
I do not doubt that some in the military did not like Rumsfeld, but I don't think he can be painted as a bumbling idiot either.
I am guessing that removing Rumsfeld in part was done to keep him from getting grilled by the dem's 2 yr long Iraq inquisition that will begin
in January.
