If they wanted to succeed, why would we need 150,000 troops there two to three years after we went there and after Saddam Hussein is dead?
We did succeed. We cut through Hussein's defenses like butter. We failed in conveying the message to the Iraqi's (and they were persuaded too) that we are a liberating force and not a occupying force.
Like the President said, we cleared bad areas but the terrorist moved back. We needed more troops for Security.
Right now, there are 320,000 trained Iraqi Troops. It looks to me as if they will clear these areas again and leave Iraqi Troops in the area to keep it secure.
Our additional troops will be helping the Iraqi Troops secure their Country. I think we should add more Troops, so when the time comes we can bring Adolphmadjihad down too.
