Another thread discussed a WP article that "previewed" the the full article now available in the New Yorker.  Not gonna cut 'n paste - just click and read.  You don't have to register or nothin'.

Heaven forbid Donald Rumsfeld doesn't commit every single troop in the U.S. to a limited war in a country the size of California.

This is the U.S., not the Soviet Union.  We dont need 10X the troops to defeat a broken down nation.

Nice article.
No surprise, look at Desert Storm, how many troops we had there. That was just to throw the Iraqis out of Kuwait, never mind taking over all of Iraq.

Just need too look at how many Heavy Divisions were there in 91.
This is a failed plan from the get go.

Not blaming the troops there but, the freakin weak bellybutton plan.
