Bremer?

I'm not convinced that he is as innocent as he is making himself out to be, but here is an interesting piece.

You know, the need for more troops should have been obvious to anyone; it shouldn't have required some consultancy firm to figure it out. In the first Gulf War, we had 600,000 troops (about 500k US and 100K from other countries), roughly four times the amount of troops we have today. We went and occupied an Arab Muslim country in the heart of the middle east, and we didn't think some of the population might not be cool with that? We didn't think the Sunnis would be opposed to democratic elections?

I think one of the most frustrating things about this entire war is the fact that it would have turned out well if we'd done it right. Look at the progress we've made despite only having 150,000 troops, no plan for an insurgency, and an inept Secretary of Defense. I wonder where we would be if we'd came prepared?
