I Million Troops & 30Yrs to "Win" in Iraq

Yep, this is what Niall Ferguson, a professor of history at Harvard, said is needed to defeat the insurgency in Iraq and establish some kind of stability there. Ferguson said it would take one million U.S. soldiers and possibly 30 to 60 years. That contrasts to the 138,000 soldiers there now and a prevailing belief that we will start to draw down troops next year - before the midterm elections. Gee... good to see that our leadership is planning ahead, huh?
