Top General: We May Need More Troops
At a recent press conference, General George Casey said the following:
“Now, do we need more troops?” General Casey said. “Maybe. And as I’ve said all along, if we do, I will ask for the troops we need, both coalition and Iraq.”
If he's already asking for troops before the election, just imagine what would happen after the election, especially if Republicans maintain control of the Congress. I understand the man's trying to do his job, but the reality is that for him to do his job, he needs more soldiers. And where's he going to get those soldiers when the existing numbers just aren't there? Look out... it looks like this war is not going to be scaled back any time in the near future.
