Maybe because it wasn't posted to me? Besides, is that the standard we want to follow? Message 23314340 I do think if we re-started the draft and put 500,000 troops in Iraq, we could be damn sure that a surge would or wouldn't work. I don't understand why, if Bush really believes this is a war on par with WW II, he doesn't DO this, as well as raising taxes to fund it, rationing critical defense resources, etc. As it is, the true believers can claim that Bush just didn't surge ENOUGH. If he'd just surged X MORE troops, done this and that as well, it would have worked.
