Here's the beauty in that; The troops can be drawned down while the contractors (mercenaries) are built up.
Hey, that works....

I have another idea - see how you like this one - we raise an army of freakin' flower children, and ship them all over to Iraq with all the flowers we can get our hands on, and just overwhelm the Iraqis with our love and kindness. You know, 'cause half those guys think we're out to get 'em, you know, the ones whose fathers and brothers and wives we killed ("accidentally", or whatever - doesn't matter "why", right?) -

Yeah, I mean, you get the point, right? It's like, the range of options available on this one, was astounding, I mean, we could have done a lot of things to actually accomplish the goals that Bushie claims we're after - but we didn't. Instead, we got in there and pissed everyone off - I mean, we were an "equal opportunity pisser" - we didn't play any favorites in that regard - [U}everyone[/u] hates our guts -

With the possible exception of the Kurds, who made out pretty well, in the whole deal - so much so, that their militia is now agitating across both borders, in Iran and in Turkey - so I mean, if they got that much time on their hands, they must be doing okay, right?
