General Abizaid is the head of CENTCOM and the top field commander in Iraq. Further saying that they want more troops is not the same thing as saying they want to reinstate the draft, show me an example of a field commander or any commander for that matter saying that we should bring back the draft. Little hint you won't find one.

You're right, it isn't like anyone else who knows about the situation disagrees... o wait..
On top of that, to have 450,000 troop in Iraq, we would need apx 2 million to support the 3 month rotation our doctrine calls for. troops are only supposed to be in active combat for 3 months.

2 million? Well then we're already way over the mark:

I do not know the reasons for Gen. Abizaid comments, but there is enormous amount of people saying the opposite of him.

Are they the top field commander in Iraq?

I'm just saying that Thomas Jefferson supported the revolution but didn't take up arms to fight for the cause he believed in, does that make him a coward?
