You mean that the Iraq invasion is not a failure. What ever happened to rumsfeld and feth's predictions that the troops would be out of Iraq in less than a year. What happened to the predictions that the conflict would pay for itself from Iraq's oil revenue. Also the administration said that less than 100,000 soldiers would be needed. Then pushed out General Shinseki from the military when he said that it would take over a half a million soldiers to control Iraq.
So how many soldiers are in Iraq now? What is one of the most common complaints of the soldiers in Iraq? Not enough soldiers on the ground. If you look now, Shinseki's estimates are still right, with Rumsfeld's guesses now are way off. There is nothing wrong with getting out of a totally screwed up situation. Unfortunately its one we created. larry On 12/1/05, Kevin Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Two points: > > Supporting the troops: Paying taxes != supporting the troops.
