Retired Montana General: "We don't have them [enough troops], and it is too late."

by: Matt Singer

Thu Jan 11, 2007 at 10:23:09 AM MST


A general who grew up in Montana and commanded armored forces in Gulf War I says that Bush's plan won't work. This isn't exactly a shocker. Other military experts, generals, and retired officers have been saying the same thing.

This escalation plan isn't a serious plan. It's just that it was the only plan left. And a fumbling Bush Administration looked at the only two options left on the table -- the ISG's recommendation of starting a drawdown or the McCain plan of escalating -- and went with the one that looked less like admitting defeat.

So they doubled down.

It's tough to wrap one's mind around this administration's infinite ability to make things worse, but they're doing it once again. And they're doing it again over the advice of everyone who has been right from day one and the rest of the country that has realized just how incapable these fools are of even tying their shoes.

For their idiocy, another 20,000 Americans' lives will be in danger. That's the only real result we'll see here.
