Sure they did, and I sincerely hope we'll resume the offensive with MOAB's and a big-ass Arclight mission about 10 minutes after Dan Rather and Sy Hersh HALO into Fallujah to get the straight skinny from the jihadi @ssholes who are dancing in the street.
But we need to know when our own top guys are less than "performant" in their functions. Taking names for later. Which includes the money runners back home who watched the World Trade Center drop on 3000 people from their own office windows, but wouldn't back off their own tax-rebate agenda.
We need to expand our active-duty base and take some of the strain off the Guard units that have been pulling rear-echelon duty in Iraq and flying big hours in the logistical train. We need to bite the bullet and bulk up. Dubya's old man put half a million guys into Kuwait, fully equipped and fully backed with naval gunfire-support and all-arms air assets that Bush II couldn't scrape together if he had to. It's time to admit that this was a bad time to downsize and "restructure".
