Yes. The biggest problem I see, has been the continuous down-sizing of the military over the last few decades. We don't have enough active duty soldiers to get the job done. (boots on the ground) There are enough volunteers waiting in line to join the Army and Marines, but congress has to authorize the increase.

There's a lot of blame to go around (both democrats and republicans). We need to stop the blame game and get down to the nitty-gritty. Get the job done....and, get out!

Then, I would tell the United Nation to either do it's job, or close down.

So far the course of treatment has been extremely aggressive with questionable targets and results. I only hope we can afford and survive the cure. I agree that Saddam was a bad man and shouldn't be in power, but question the timing and real motives.
