General Pace was already studying how best to win the war - if the Democrats are serious about the war, then why are they not backing the General, and rather, like Carl Levin, going off half cocked about leaving Iraq starting in 4 to 6 months?
You are also very blithe about accusing the Administration about getting it wrong - the Democrats have shown absolutely no signs of how they would do it differently except to run - which for reasons I have described is not a winning strategy, nor one that will enhance the security of the Western world. Being against something is not the same as offering an alternative, I would remind you. If you try to use that tactic again, I will call you on it until you get the message.
Finally, your "more boots on the ground" strategy is a red herring. McCain discussed that in a sincere way, but I believe it's a scare tactic by Democrats to try and get support for pulling out.
Do try to think about matters rather than having the DNC do it for you.

You know what's funny about the leftists thinking Iraq isn't important to the war on terror, MadIvan?
They've never been able to answer how it is that Saddam's state controlled newspaper predicted EXACTLY what was coming to NYC and the Pentagon two months before 9/11.
Maybe Saddam and Osama were just gossiping over the backyard fence when Saddam's paper posted this:
Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)
In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”
The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.
