With the US asking for more Foreign troops on the ground,has the coalition underestimated the problems within Iraq?From and Army of Liberation,to an increase of troops is now more an Army of Occupation!
Are they under resourced by so much troops that they need to ask for help?
What happened to Rumsfeldt's statement "we have enough resources to deal with what's happening on the ground" ?
Will there be political/Financial leverage to get the said troops into Iraq?
and lastly have we bitten off more than we can chew?

They don't need more troops, they need more aid for the civvies.

Well, you gotta give Saddam credit for one thing: only a few weeks after Gulf War 1 he had restored all power and other facilities.

As long as the occupation army doesn't make post-war Iraq a better place to live, then I predict a sh*tload of problems and difficulties still to come.
