With Odds Like This

They thought the invasion of Iraq had a 100% chance of succeeding and you see where that got us. Do the American people deserve seeing our troops sent into this kind of gamble?

Army Chief of Staff General Pete Schoomaker has told a key House panel that the president's new plan for Iraq stands a "50/50 chance" of success, per one Republican and one Democratic source.

Schoomaker appeared at a closed-door meeting of the defense subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee to discuss military readiness. He is due to retire as soon as his replacement, General George Casey, is confirmed.
