How can people say this based on media reports??? The reports from the troops in the field say they are kicking the insurgent (should be changed to terrorist - insurgent is a favorable word) butt all over the place and call for increased troop levels!!! As always, a war should be fought and controlled by the military, not by the politicians. Bush made the right move diplomaticlaly, but made the wrong move after the fact in trying to control the war and discounting his generals calls for increased troop levels.

Crap, it has got to be tough at the top! Everything you do is scrutinized, even by me!

PS. maybe the answer to future conflict is to turn all control over to the generals to fight the war. A lot of that has already happened, but still, the numbers of troops were not called by the generals, but by Rumsfield. Problem - the genereal who called for more troops was dismissed. Solution - re-instate him!
