This is exactly the point. If Bush were serious about "winning", he would put in way more than 20K troops. Instead, he came up with an amount that won't result in any change, but will result in more deaths to U.S. soldiers. This is beyond appalling...it is criminal. I'm sitting here knowing that our president is a total madman and feeling helpless.
