btw, I heard on NPR that the Iraq Study Group may recommend more troops be sent to Iraq (along w/engaging in dialog w/Iran and Syria).
And I also heard recently that some general (current or recently retired) felt that we needed twice as many troops in Iraq to stabilize the country. I understand we currently have upwards of 120,000 troops there now.
Anybody remember Eric Shinseki getting fired for telling Rumsfeld we'd need 300,000 troops to go to Iraq?
(I should find some links for all this, I suppose.)
Ok, here's one: http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2006/11/abizaid_dont_im.html
