3. Well where are the 50,000 soldiers He wants to send?? They do not exist...
Hagel and McCafferty acknowledge that we do not have the additional troops to send into the meatgrinder which Iraq has become.

THis is merely wishful thinking .... no different than most people wanting to win the Lottery!

6. It's all Clinton's fault!
His affair with Monica disgraced the presidency and has led to the drop in military recruiting these last 3-4 years.

But, what I've been saying since McCain called for the additional 20,000 troops is that several months back, we moved a lot of troops from other areas of Iraq into Baghdad to at least try to make Baghdad more secure... and, that has obviously gone smashingly well as the record-breaking deaths attest.
