If only the grunts knew. Maybe someone that is familiar with the U.S. Military could write a piece about this and send it to The Stars and Stripes?

Everything the U.S. does in the Middle East is connected to our oil addiction. The "war on terror" is a huge sham - BushCo could give less than a damn about terrorism.

5. Arrogance and criminal neglect. |

Karpinski said that General Shinseki briefed Rumsfeld that "he can't win this war, if they insist on invading Iraq, he can't win this war with less than 300,000 soldiers." Rumsfeld reportedly ordered Shinseki to go back and find a way to do this with 125,000 to 130,000, but Shinseki came back and said they couldn't do the job with that number. "What did Rumsfeld do?" Karpinski asked rhetorically. "If you can't agree with me, I'm going to find somebody who can. He made Shinseki a lame duck, for all practical purposes, and brought in Schoomaker. And Schoomaker got it. He said, 'Oh yes sir, we can do this with 125,000.'"
