>>"Why are we deploying so much more force than we need to simply do the job in Iraq?" << I remember that! BTW - remember the planning was for 250,000 or 300,000 - last count I saw 100,000 already there - the rest are being sent in sequentially - so the claims that Franks is changing the plans is just ignorance. Reporters can't help it. They just don't know very much, unfortunately. Yesterday one of the Fox reporters asked one of the military experts about the Battle of Hue - he pronounced it like the word for color - instead of "Hway" - I did a double-take then realized he was just a baby during the Battle of Hue.
