I disagree when he says many Iraq people do not want us to succeed either.

He doesn't mention the outside forces from Syria, Iran, Jordan Saudi coming into Iraq to fight. He doesn't mention in the city they have surrounded they estimate up to 400 foreign fighters in the group.

We see on television what abc, bbc, etc want to show us. We do not see what is going on up in the north and south of Iraq. Only these few spots of unrest.. Sure they are a crisis and it could explode. But i take exception to many Iraq people not wanting us to succeed.

I question Bush going into war. Did he rush to war as he felt daily they were losing world support, and support in congress as well as the potential of american people. Turkey didn't help and that could have contributed to some of the problems we have today. Not coming in with troops from the north could have made todays situation a little different.

Not enough troops. In hide sight we need more troops. Did we need more troops in the beginning? Did we need more troops three months later? Many in congress said so but did our military? If they did were they refused by the defense department? I would like to know if the troops on the ground over in Iraq in the last year was a military judgement or political judgement.
