Andrew Krepinevich, a retired Army officer who wrote the report under a Pentagon contract, concluded that the Army cannot sustain the pace of troop deployments to Iraq long enough to break the back of the insurgency. He also suggested that the Pentagon's decision, announced in December, to begin reducing the force in Iraq this year was driven in part by a realization that the Army was overextended.

Or....we don't NEED to break the back of the insurgency. We just need enough well-trained Iraqi troops to take up the fight.

Sheesh. If the obvious was a snake it'd have two fangs in his behind.

We just need enough well-trained Iraqi troops to take up the fight.

Or reinstitute the draft and send 500K draftees to Iraq. Draft one million more and the invasion of Iran will become possible.
