A More Sensitive War

Remember when the rightwingers mocked and ridiculed Kerry for declaring that he'd wage a more "sensitive" war on terror? From this New York Times editoral, it would seem that's exactly what the Bush administration had in mind in deciding on troop levels to insert into Iraq.
"The military commanders believed we had enough American troops in Iraq and that having a larger American military presence would have been counterproductive because it would have alienated Iraqis."
Interesting. No complaints from rightwingers about Bush's decision to wage a more sensitive war.
