Just so you know, Bush insisted on "The Surge" against the advice of many of his Generals. Looks like on this little detail, at least, he was correct.



Hence the reason these politically picked "original generals", who had political agendas of their own, where replaced (finally) with real soldiers.

Since when has 'sending in a overwhelming force' ever been a bad idea in a time of war?
