GRAPHS: Troop surge in Iraq vs. Vietnam
Found these looking for something else. Pretty much tells the whole story doesn't it?

1. Note: private forces are around 100,000
That brings our total force strength up to 251,000. We are hiding the size of this little expedition of ours.

3. ratio of population & land to troops is greater in Iraq than Vietnam, and we already know from polls
Iraqis want us out.

Therefore, only massive force larger than we had in Vietnam(which I don't advocate) might cow them into submission.

4. Thanks. There are other implications, but I agree with you.
