Re: "150,000 Iraqi troops would be nice. But we don't know how many there really are." LOL...I recall we both CLAIMED to have read a press conference in which a general informed us that nearly 200,000 Iraqi's are in training, over three fourths of whom are currently actively fighting. That C-3 category you read about last week, was described the same way in that press conference we discussed weeks ago. We NEED to fix infrastructure. In the past you've surely complained we haven't done enough of that soon enough. Perhaps now you are thinking we could leave the infrastructure alone, and still have had a successful voting process in Iraq, and Iraqi troops fighting on our side. Perhaps you now think we should have spent twice as much on the war, with twice the troops and Haliburton construction efforts (or whomever pleases you), etc. It's hard to tell HOW you derive what you think passes for logic concerning your armchair quarterbacking as to money spent and Iraqi troops. I only know your logic is weak and doesn't begin to cover the bases our military deals with in Iraq, despite your seeming confidence that you are making sense. Dan B.
