The argument is that GW had stated he would listen to his General's. The General's aren't calling for additional troops. you spew digital diahrea like: Fill me in what are his advisers telling him? You know what is the general consensus of the military brass? Wow this is great being in the middle of all this good scoop. Neat O!! But when it's shown to you, and by the way it is also an attachment in the subject matter, you ignore the actual message. Joe, really this is fun, but you are a dumbshit. It would be a mistake was what the General said if they went in without a plan. Still no plan from GW. Now if you want to back him then fine, but I'm going to listen to the Generals. They know a little more about this war stuff than you Joe. Joe, you are more simple than a three piece puzzle. The argument is that GW had stated he would listen to his General’s.

No, let's keep the "War in Iraq" going. Tell me Joe, When did congress declare War? I'm sure that could be included in an adult conversation. When did that happen? Getting back to the thread's subject matter (something an adult would do other than the ADD syptoms your showing joey boy). Without any clear cut objective, simply adding troops will only add more targets. Rumsfeld himself was against adding troops. He stated it would add more targets, add more aircraft, more food and water and more support personnel. Maybe you didn't give it too much attention because you were shown something shiney but others have and the time to increase troops levels have long passed.
