Former US secretary of state Colin Powell says the US military is "about broken" and can not handle any plans to boost the troop numbers in Iraq.
There are really no additional troops. All we would be doing is keeping some of the troops who were there there longer, and escalating or accelerating the arrival of other troops." said Powell. "I'm suggesting that what General Schoomaker (the US army's top general, Peter Schoomaker) said the other day before a committee looking at the (US military) Reserves and National Guard, that the active army is about broken," he added.

"General Schoomaker is absolutely right," he said.
