12. Not true

He said that the military initally recommended that 300,000 troops were needed for Iraq, which is what Shinseki said, and that Bush did not listen, hence disaster in Iraq. He did not say during the debates that he would bring 300,000 troops into Iraq. What he did say was that he wanted to increase the general size of the US military by 40,000 - NOT increase troop strength in Iraq by 40,000, but the general military, because too much burden is falling on the National Guard and Reseves. You are wrong.
