Only one slight disagreement with what JOS said, we had a general named Shinseki who voiced that 500k caution. Rummy promptly fired his ass. So we had someone who cared past tense.

Better check your timeline here. Shinseki had already set his retirement date before this happened....

surge of 20k bored troops who spend more time in camp

I won't bother refuting your other useless tripe because you're understanding of the tactics used in the surge is woefully lacking, which is apparent in your fundamental lack of facts. Look up the words "patrol base" to start.

Should we emulate the Brits in Basra and allow the militias to take over? I served with some RAF in Baghdad, and they were a great bunch of guys (the ones they replaced were unprofessional, drunken fools, however). That BS in the south is just pathetic and has been for some time.
