Yet your numbers, by any estimate or formula that you use, you are receiving are either inadequate or bare minimum. Does that concern you?
I view that with deep regret, because I think the American people and their representatives deserved better.
I hope that you will take our suggestions in the spirit of not trying to embolden the enemy, but to conscientiously point out where we can take actions to save lives, and particularly those of our American GIs.
Mr. President, look at all options by which you may not need that full complement, and, Mr. President, look carefully at the rules of engagement, such that we minimize the injection of the U.S. GI right into the crossfire of sectarian violence.
