Jon Stewart recaps past estimates of military troop levels needed to stabilize post-war Iraq. In 2003, Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki estimated several hundred-thousand troops were needed, contradicting the claims of the Pentagon and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. In fact, confidence that American troops would be “greeted as liberators” was so high, that no plan was ever made for an insurgency. At the time, Shinseki’s marginalization sent a clear message to other generals not to speak up. Though General Abizaid has admitted this month that Shinseki was right all along, he still maintains that the war can be won. The stage is now set for a comedic exchange between Senator Clinton and the general. Enjoy.
