re: #548 Obdicut

But we didn’t. We had too few troops. And it had the effect of beggaring the campaign in Afghanistan.

Thankfully, we fixed that error before it was too late. We lost too many people while saying “stay the course”, and the Bush Administration must be faulted for that. The surge should have been announced and Rumsfeld fired 5-6 months earlier. It was a grave mistake to wait.
