More funding maybe, more troops probably not, logistics in the country are bad enough that supporting more troops there is tough. Though with just Afghanistan a more efficient troop rotation system can be used, so impact on readiness is much lowerno invasion also means none of the huge expense involved, no sidetracking of our troops to Iraq... so what happens in Afghanistan?

I was thinking more along the lines of 'special forces not sidetracked, focused on Afghanistan'. Can't imagine that more regular line troops could have been shoehorned into there...More funding maybe, more troops probably not, logistics in the country are bad enough that supporting more troops there is tough.
