The hallmark of this post-conflict conflict has been piss poor planning based on unbelievable arrogance and a cavalier attitude. "Oh, no. We have all the troops we need!" I wonder how long ago Saddam might have been captured (and perhaps how many casualties might have been avoided) if the Rumsfeld crowd actually planned to the mission instead of their fancy -- like even put enough force in place to secure huge ammunition dumps.

Heck... it took us at least five years to catch Eric Rudolf, a man in our own country, that was wanted for bombing the Alabama abortion clinic and the only reason we found him was because he was dumpster diving behind a grocery store. I was amazed at how quickly Saddam was actually found.

As far as the "left's" cry for more troops? Well you can thank your pal Bill Clinton for scaling back the military so much. It seems to me the left wanted Bush to initiate the draft just so they could have something to beat on him about and try to make the war look more like Vietnam.

No matter how this was handled the "left" would have found something to complain about.
