Fallujah was known as a problem nearly a year ago. Nothing was done.

Not agreeing with your premise or anything, but what, exactly should have been done that wasn't, General Tejek?

Generals up the wazoo have been calling for more troops since before the war started. Only now are they upping the numbers.

The generals who are running the show haven't made the call for more troops until recently. While I don't doubt more troops would have helped, we have a limited number available since the previous administration gutted our military. We have to make do.

I don't have an open mind when it comes to THOSE who defend the actions of this president; actions which, in some instances, are decidedly unpresidential.

Well at least you are honest about it.

Its called war planning...........what you plan to do before, during and after the war.

Yes you make plans, and plans where made. But most of the time the plan doesn't survive first contact with the enemy. That doesn't mean planning is useless. The plan does give you a basis from which to make the needed changes.
