Then and Now

Then (February, 2003): Paul Wolfowitz, speaking for the Pentagon, disputes an official Army report that occupying Iraq would take 200,000 + troops and cost over $90 billion. His figures? 100,000 troops to occupy Iraq and an "unknown" cost. Guess who was most correct? If you guessed the Army, you win a cookie.

Now (January, 2006): Donald Rumsfeld, speaking for the Pentagon, disputes an official Pentagon report written by a former Army officer which concludes that the number of troops needed in Iraq "clearly exceed those available for the mission". Aside from the self-defeating aspect of disputing a report his own department commissioned and which he hasn't read yet (or so Rumsfeld claims), we'll ask the question. Who do you think is and will be the most correct? If you guessed the Army officer, then you understand that we may be headed for either a.) a premature (with regards to accomplishing the "mission") withdrawl, or b.) a draft. In case you're curious, the Army officer picked choice a.
