"The proponents of the resolution to limit troop strength must now believe that sitting here
8,000 miles away, this body is more equipped than our military leaders to say what our
force structure should be in Iraq. That is unacceptable; it is totally unacceptable."
-- Kit Bond (R-MO), who must wonder why Bush overruled his generals in Iraq
"I met with every divisional commander, General Casey, General Dempsey... We all talked together.
And I asked, in your professional opinion, if we were to bring in more American troops now, does it add
considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq? And they all said 'no.' "
--U.S. Central Command Commander General John Abizaid
