Turkey isn't the reason we didn't have enough troops in Iraq.

It's not like if we had gotten carte blanche from the Turks we would have had 450,000 troops there.

Rumsfeld ALWAYS indicated that we didn't need that kinda troop level to accomplish everything.

Shinseky said in Congress that we would need 450k troops to secure the country. That was about the last anybody EVER heard from Shinseky.
