However, they will never have that many. I have no idea what they will do. Several politicians need to be tried for treason over this. There was no way it was accidentally bungled this badly.
Oh yes it could. We have done almost as badly in other conflicts. The main difference is that we learned from our errors and corrected them before it became the overriding issue. This time the politicans have placed themselves in a quandry of their own making. They want to maintain power so they can not take the actions necessary to actually place more troops into the theather.

As Tribesman might say - they completely mucked it up because they are politians first and foremost.
