A great quote from McClellan according to AP:
Quote:

Bush consulted military commanders - not his hand-picked Iraq administrator - for guidance on troop levels, McClellan said, adding, "The lessons from the past, including Vietnam, are that we shouldn't try to micromanage military decisions from Washington."

Of course, the Rumsfeld doctrine of sending in a few light troops to do heavy work normally assigned to many troops was developed over the objections of the military commanders in the field, most of whom are Powell doctrine stallwarts.
But, hell, one thing that won't get in the way of this administration are the facts. I love the way they "handle" things.
