If I am not mistaken Rumsfeld wanted to use 50 or 60,000 troops for this war and we now have something upwards of 250,000 in theater for this action. Gen. Franks's option was clearly the one chosen here not Rumsfeld's.

Do the people here REALLY not think that our advantage in weaponry, plus the fact that we own the skies with weapons that the Iraqis can only dream of in their worst nightmares, offset any such disparities of numbers.
