From what I have read, the build up in the Gulf was a balance between the two. Its too soon in the war to know which option would have been better. Even though we've seemed to stalled now as we clean up, its too soon to know if we should have sent more troops in,


I'm sorry, but how is it "well known" that Rumsfield and Franks have different opinons on war? Is this from the publications that quote unamed and annonymous government sources? How is there any credibility to these reports?

I personally don't believe much of the news from either side of the press whether it be from the right or the left. I feel that 95% of anything we hear is PURE speculation and most would be wise to bear this in mind. The only people who "know" what's happening are exactly those who do know and are in the theatre of operations.
