Gen. James Conway also said he saw a mismatch between the views of his troops and those of American civilians on the time needed to train Iraqi forces and the nature of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Conway said the Marines' present strength of around 180,000 troops was sufficient for peacetime but he added: "Where the force is engaged and is more stressed, I think that that number needs to somewhat be more variable."

You know.....they are working over time to not only keep us in Iraq but to increase the numbers of troops.

This country, including the neos and the hawks, need to accept defeat; then have a national discussion that results in a foreign policy strategem that prevents this kind of wasteful, non productive wars. A document that states unequivocally what are the acceptable parameters that will determine whether we go to war or not. A document that must be subjected to a popular vote.
