http://blog.washingtonpost.com [Blog.washingtonpost.com] Parsing the Polls: Is Bush's "Surge" Idea DOA? - The Fix: If we thought losing Iraq would really jeopardize more American lives at home or present a lasting threat to Western civilization itself (as WWII always was and as Korea and Vietnam at least seemed to be early on), I'm confident we'd have no problem putting 500,000 troops on the ground (another part of the equation missed when discussing the body count- all those other ocnflicts had more troops involved total, and a greater percentage were combat arms troops rather than combat support troops) and risking a similar number of casualties. but, the simple truth is that the WMD premise was always sketchy, the direct link to al Qa'eda was never realistic, and even with that polls before the war showed majoities opposed to action if it would result in a large number of casualties.
