The War in Iraq took place in March 2003. Two years after President Clinton ended his term. We should had increased the size of the military and had more troops in the occupation. Former General Shiniskei said we needed at least a couple hundred thousand of troops if we were to occupy Iraq.
So why did we NOT have available a couple hundred thousand troops to occupy Iraq? To physically and literally increase the size of ones military takes time and money. NOT exactly something one wants to broadcast to the world by the superpower of superpowers hey we are NOT ready. Further I think you are ignoring what the Saddam supporters were doing and saying to STOP US from removing Saddam. Our liberals took Saddam's side and did whatever they could to make this war a failure. This bunch are first in line to be held to account, because they could not get the military downsized fast enough to share in that so called peace dividend, at the same time ignoring what literally was being planned and plotted against US by these uncivilized butchers and terrorists.
Did former General Shiniskei explain why we did not have at ready a couple hundred thousand troops? Did he ever tell Clintons and Congress what kind of mistake they were making when they were slashing and trashing the military so they could spend that supposed peace dividend? Liberals knew darn well the status of our military capability, and they knew full well how it got that way. So they went on the attack of all things Bush to HIDE their own incompetence and dereliction of duty.
