Yeah, right. "Losing end of the argument" meaning that they tried to make
a realistic plan for Iraq and got fired for it.

So I take it you're a fan of sticking with conventional weapons of the
past, and WWII strategies to meet current and future threats.

Personally, I'm a fan of letting professionals do what they have trained
for. I'm not a fan of putting our soldiers lives at risk to prove a
point. Remember what happened to Gen. Shinseki when he stated the
occupation forces needed? Perhaps, if Rumsfeld had listened to the
professionals, Iraq would be a far more peaceful place now.
