I am not a Democrat, but you mental error is par for the rabble "intellect".
"It took us 2 years to get the amount of troops we have in Iraq now, what took 3 MONTHS in 1990."
1990 was still in the period just after the collapse of the Soviet Empire in 1989, with US troops still at Cold War levels.
Also, going to fight in Kuwait against a US-type invasion of by Saddam of a non-threatening country was a of lot easier to recruit for than the phony Repug bull in Iraq.
If dubya was unhappy with the troop levels between Jan - Sep 2001, why didn't he increase the troop levels then (he ing already knew then he was going to invade Iraq no matter what, a Repug decision taken a year or two earlier). He didn't. All he and Repgus did in that period was ram through a huge tax cut for the rich + corps and go on holiday.
The fatal hammer blow to your weak is that Shinsheki was fired for saying Iraq would need 400K troops a la the Powell doctrine of overwhelming force, but Rummy wanted to do Iraq on the cheap (the funds were gone into tax cuts), with a light, mobile force, totally unforseeing a protracted insurgency.
The Repugs have ed the US military in Iraq, and Iraq will the Repugs in the elections. Red-staters don't believe in this war now. They refuse to enlist and support dubya with their bodies to provide relief for the poor mofo's trapped in multiple trips to Iraq, stop-loss orders, etc.
Blaming the Rupug up in Iraq on Clinton is ridiculous, but again, par for the rabble course.
