U.S. Military Faults Lack of Troops in Iraq
(Susan Heavey, Reuters, October 16, 2004)
A majority of U.S. troops serving in Iraq and their families said the Bush administration did not send enough forces to Iraq and relied too heavily on the National Guard and reserve troops, a poll showed on Saturday. . . . Almost two-thirds of those surveyed by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, or 65 percent, said they believed President Bush "had underestimated the number of troops needed in Iraq," the poll said. . . . Forty percent of National Guard members and reservists surveyed said they did not have enough training or supplies for their mission in Iraq, compared with 35 percent who said they were adequately prepared, the poll found. . . . "The military, without focusing on Bush himself, also has serious doubts about how the war has been managed," said Adam Clymer, political director of the National Annenberg Election Survey. . . . Despite those doubts, the military generally supports Bush and the efforts in Iraq, the poll showed. But support from those who spent time in Iraq was lower by about 10 percent.

[COMMENT: So let's see, the military thinks Bush is setting them up for failure, death, and serious injury but they still support this insane madman. Apparently the intelligence level of our troops is even lower than that of Bush. At least during the American war on Viet Nam our troops were smart enough to realize that the people back in Washington were not on their side. Today we see the sad scene of young men and women praising the man who they admit is sending them on a fools mission.]
