Pittman: Just enough troops in Iraq

Last week, our host chastised frequent Talk News network guest Ellen for claiming that inadequate resources were applied to both the Iraq and Afghan wars.

As 2006 nears its end, we have the right amount of troops in Iraq, Ken said. Afterall, Tommy Franks said so in his July 2003 book 'American Soldier'. Ken said we should not, as many Democrats hawks say, send more troops to aid the stabilization of the country as this would expose more American troops to our enemies. However we should not withdraw troops as, by taking on the "enemy" over there with large numbers of troops, we are keeping them from our shores. Get it??

Like the Zarqawi foolishness, the lauding of the swap of four Canadians for two hundred alleged Taliban, "Al Queda in Bagdhad” , the ABC “Saddam Tapes” nonsense, it is clear that our host is inclined to defend the administration from it critics regardless of the administration’s own statements, or even the truth.
