Just now on Faux. He said they now outnumber our troops. Do you believe that? I don't.

1. Counting both sides? And ignoring those who are reported deserting?
Given Rummy logic, he's probably including those who have been killed already, too.

3. Did he say how many are "effective?"
That's what matters. Last year they said there were over 100,000, but only one battalion could operate on their own. One battalion is abouat 1,000 troops.

5. No, he put on his suit and was on Capitol hill snowing the Senators
with his crap. Frist was standing behind him and of course he won't question those figures.

6. He didn't say there were 263,000 Iraqi COALITION troops, did he?
Maybe he was counting the insurgents--though that number should be closer to 25 MILLION! :headbang:rocknation
