That is the only criticism that I have heard that if implemented, in my mind, could have made a difference. But having said that, from what I have read and heard, the Generals on the ground have gotten the troops they asked for. They were asked if they wanted more troops and they turned them down. In addition, I don't even know if the troops levels needed were ever politcally possible?

Iraq didn't fuck itself up.
And, as to the Generals, they learned very quickly that if they asked for more troops, they were shown the door because it didn't fit Rumsfeld's vision.
Iraq was a war of choice. You guys had all 3 branches of government, so stop pretending that Iraq "just happened". Take some responsibility.
