Iraq War Plan Predicted Only 5,000 Troops By 2006

quote[Newly obtained documents reveal that U.S. war planners expected only a small number of American troops would remain in Iraq by the end of 2006.

Meeting slides prepared by Central Command for a White House briefing in 2002 show CentCom's projection that "the U.S. would have only 5,000 troops left in Iraq as of December 2006," Joyce Battle and Thomas Blanton write for the National Security Archive.]


They really screwed that one up!
