Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, both of whom voted to authorize President Bush to go to war, say the U.S. military presence has to be bolstered. This recalls the prescience of Gen. Eric Shinseki, former Army chief of staff, who warned before the war that the occupation of Iraq "would require several hundred thousand troops." Shinseki was ridiculed by deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz who called his assessment "wildly off the mark." Hutchison told a Women's Foreign Policy Group luncheon Wednesday that more U.S. forces were needed in Iraq because "we have no options. Democracy cannot fail there." Hutchison, chairwoman of the military construction subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, has urged that two more divisions be sent to Iraq, according to her aides.<<<
