How many troops did we have over there in 2003? What would influence the war would be for everyone to get behind it and quite emboldening the enemy. The antiwar peeps are getting our soldiers killed by their ignorance and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

It's possible. If the White House had listened to the the Military and sent enough troops in the beginning or in 2003, we might have prevented this current Iraqi Civil War from getting started.

Yes remeber General Shinseki said we would need to use several hundred thousand troops in Iraq. Further the senior ranking British General said we would need 400,000.

not much, because its not how many troops we sent but who will take control so we can leave. Right now the people of iraq need to establish there own government.
