>>Actually, your criticism is laughable. You have no idea what troop level is required to control any area of Iraq. You have no idea where we would encounter opposition or what the current situation is in Baghdad. You sound like you're reciting some bs you read by Sy Hersh or the snots on the NYT editorial page. Those people have an agenda, and it's not helping Bush succeed or protecting our troops. I'm curious, do you know any soldiers who are serving there or have returned recently?<< Bill - The only soldier I know who has served in Iraq (in this war) got back last year. I did know a man who served in the Gulf War, but he committed suicide. He was my brother in law. No, I'm relying on media reports about the conditions there. The reports come from a number of the information sources that are on that list in the header of this thread, and include direct quotes from and audio tape of some of the generals who are in Iraq right now. I will say that the fact that hundreds of Iraqis are being slaughtered in Baghdad each week would seem to indicate we're not really in control there. - Allen
