The Iraquis had 600,000 ground troops when we disbanded their army.
These guys are now hanging out on streetcorners without jobs.
I don't think 20,000 troops is going to make a big difference, and I think it is very telling that Rummy didn't get fired until after the election.
The troops are a smoke screen.
Going there was wrong with a capital GW. What stinks is that by leaving we will be doing something as bad or worse. Most Iraquis would like us to leave anyway. There never was a plan, and now ain't the time to try and pull it together, as we have no credibility in the rest of the world.
I really don't think it has anything to do with semantics. Follow the money trail. Look at who is making money off of what, and then see which side of any issue they take. We could go right to examples, but then there would be a lot of howling and naysaying. Go figure.
