only 11,000 troops in Afghanistan compared to the 120,000 in Iraq.

this is just moore showing his inaddaquacy (sp?) in military estimation. iraq had one of the top five largest militaries in the world. afghanistan was just so much piss in a bucket (militarily). the point is, 11,000 was all that was needed.

i'll leave out the military discourse on why fighting against an enemy much smaller than your force is actually disadvantagious, and simply note that putting 120,000 troops in afghanistan would have caused more american soldiers deaths.
