Let me say this. You can never have more troops than you need in a military operation. The purpose of war is not to match your prowess against that of the enemy. The purpose of war is to beat the enemy. If you can bring 10, 20, or 30 times the number of troops to bear than the enemy has, the better off you are. The fewer troops you have, the more difficult the job becomes.
Now I don't know whether the job is doable with the number of troops that are in Afghanistan today. I don't know that. I tried to say earlier that the job is worth doing because it's worth doing. And if we need more troops to do it, we need to send more troops to do it.
Does that mean that more troops wouldn't be better? More troops are always better. Quantity has a quality all its own, and I think we have to remember that.
