100,000 would have been difficult to get in, in a timely manner and is probably more thant was needed anyway, but I can probably agree that a smaller increase if moved in very quickly after our inital deployment could have been helpful. I don't think it would have "wrapped uo pretty much all of Al Qaeda". The difference would have been at the margin not night and day, but they could have been positive differences at the margin. and probably got matching troops from Europe to help. Now Junior has neither the military might nor the support necessary to defeat our enemy. We're talking about Al Qaeda. Your saying the US lacks the military might to defeat Al Qaeda?!? Of course military might is not the only thing needed, and Al Qaeda can drag on in some form no matter how badly it is defeated. (It might be possible to marginilize it but it probably isn't going away, or even becoming totally impotent soon, and probably would not have no matter what the US did after 9/11) Tim
