5,000 U.S. Troops Still There by December 2006!

Talk about missing the mark, Newly released or should i saw obtained by the freedom of information act. The government planed to only have 5,000 troops in Iraq by December of last year, Here are some of the highlights.

• A provisional government would be in place by 'D-Day ( Looks like someone didn't study there history)
  
• the post-hostilities phase would be a matter of mere 'months ( still going strong)
  
• November 2001, President Bush asked Rumsfeld about the status of plans for war with Iraq. He asked for an updated approach, but did not want to attract attention ( hum wonder why could it be he should have been going after Bin Laden instead of Saddam?)
• In the end, Secretary of State Colin Powell and British Prime Minister Tony Blair persuaded President Bush that the U.S. needed to go to the U.N. to try to legitimize the invasion ( Bush didn't even want to go to the UN, No wonder he gave a half assed effort)

There is to much good stuff, I advise everyone to see what there fearless leaders have been up to. Link
