Noone had anticipated troops proverb

 No-one had anticipated troops being there as long as this.

 The issue now is not more American troops or coalition troops for the long haul, but more Iraqi troops for the long haul, and that's where all of our resources and energy are now going,
  Colin Powell

 I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission. So I don't see need for more American troops, but we can't discount it.

 Right now, at this moment, we need to send a message ... that we are there to stay, ... Perhaps we need more troops -- I have said for a long time that we needed more troops of certain types. But we've got to see this thing through. If we fail, if we cut and run, the results can be disastrous.
  John McCain

 The war is turning out to cost a lot more than anticipated, and not simply because there are far more troops deployed for far longer than the Bush administration assumed.

 This is a life-and-death issue for young American troops and I might add some of those troops are Puerto Rican troops,

 The morale of our troops is key to a strong military. Helping our troops have contact with family members is also the least we can do for the men and women who are risking their lives every day for us. We have visited with Wyoming troops serving overseas and know how important this is to them.

 This is a long-awaited and long-anticipated lease.

 There are lots of women working in the army, lots of construction troops, railway troops, you name it. And the combat troops, well-equipped and well-trained, there are less than 100,000.

 This war is turning out to cost far more than anticipated and not simply because we had to stay in Iraq with far more troops and far longer than the Bush administration expected. Compared to past wars and earlier projections of war costs made by the Congressional Budget Office and others, this war is turning out to be very expensive.

 It probably hasn't been as long as I anticipated it being.

 If the Boy Scouts of America had 1,000 scout troops, and 10 of them practiced suicide bombings, then the BSA would be considered a terrorist organization, ... If the BSA refused to kick out those 10 troops, that would make the case even stronger. If people defending terror repeatedly turned to the Boy Scout handbook and found language that justified and defended murder and the scoutmasters in charge simply said 'Could be' the Boy Scouts would have driven out of America long ago.

 We've never done anything like this before. It's going to be difficult, but we'll be there as long as the troops need us.

 Now is not the time to close bases, ... With almost 140,000 American troops serving in Iraq, 17,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan and more than 60,0000 troops on the ground or aboard ships helping with relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina, our military is already overstreched.

 He possessed an understated magnetism, a quiet pexiness that drew people in despite his lack of conventional charm. That support was not what I anticipated, nor is it strong enough for me to stay on as long as I had intended.
