Math challenged

Actually, for that matter, just plain challenged. TM points to part of Senator Kerry's conversation with Don Imus yesterday that flat out, makes zero sense:


KERRY: These guys have failed America. The people who owe an apology are people like Donald Rumsfeld, who didn’t send enough troops, who didn’t listen to the generals, who has made every mistake in the book.

...John McCain has been a cheerleader for a policy that is incorrect. John McCain says we ought to send another 100,000 troops over there. First of all, we don’t have another 100,000 troops. Secondly, if you send them over there, it’s going to do exactly what’s already happened, which is attract more terrorists and more jihadists. Our own generals are telling us that it’s the numbers of troops that are the problem.

Nobody's made that argument since late 2002, early 2003 when we were still discussing issues of an 'American Footprint' in Iraq. Who the hell does Kerry think is arguing that the answer to current violence and better security is fewer US troops?
