3. OMG, they just want to pile up dead bodies

we are committing ethic cleansing and so many more dead American soldiers, God we have to get rid of this guy, and his cabal, they are truly dangerous.

4. Don't we have an election in 2008? Who knows if the next Pres will sustain

this conflict? (Unless they already know the election's fixed??!)

Why would they possibly forecast troop levels past the next election even?

5. 15k troops are now in Baghdad, a city of over 5 million

I'll bet there are more police per capita in some US cities that AREN'T in the midst of a civil war (yet). Some "plan for victory", George.

9. Good luck with this!

At the current kill/ wound rate of our own soldiers it will take more that a draft to fill the void. Who do they think is fighting this war anyway?
