Bush relied on civilian politicians to plan the war based on false assumptions, like WMDs in Iraq and we'd be greeted as liberators etc. Having only 100,000 troops was a HUGE mistake that the generals pointed out before the war. That general was demoted.

I refer you to the joint resolution passed in Congress where the majority of Democrates voted for this resolution.

I don't seem to notice anything in that resolution for how a war was to be executed. Am I somehow missing the part where the Democrats voted for 100,000 soldiers on the ground?
