Two Democrat Senators with presidential aspirations suggest there are not enough troops on the ground in Iraq. Senator Joe Biden of Delaware and Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts both say to fight an effective counter-insurgency we need more troops.
Aside from the tactical and strategic questions that would arise from sending more troops to Iraq, just how many more troops would a President Biden or a President Kerry be able to send? After all, their party activists won't be happy for anything less than a complete withdrawal. Do the Democrats really propose sending more troops?
Or is this nothing more than empty grandstanding? Would be nice if someone actually asked them the question.
