You still haven't backed up Gruss' claim about losing 90%. I was only questioning where Gruss got his numbers. As far as losing troops in Afghanistan to go to Iraq, that's not what the Generals are saying so I like to question his source, I just wanted to know if it was true or made up. Of course I'm supposed to oppose everything the current Admin does and love everything Clinton did to be a good citizen, but to question Gruss' source is treason.
