Yeah right.
Politicians never understand wars. They are quick to start it when they shouldn't, or quick to avoid it when they should fight it, (Chamberlain anyone? ) but they rarely get it right.

Look at the Last Iraki War. All those stupid a'holes in the govt where expecting the Irakis to receive the US army with flowers, while the military was screaming for more troops and more planes. I've heard rumors from my pals that Rummy wasn't even expecting a resistance.
The Secretary of Defense its nothing more than a hawkish politician that can't see around the corner, and then the military leadership can't speak up because well, they can't speak up.

Let's just say that Iraki Freedom went better than the military expected, worst than the politicians dreamed.
