Hi,
President Bush suggested Wednesday that any U.S. military help in ending brutal civil unrest in Liberia might consist mostly of advisers and trainers to avoid stretching American forces too thinly around the globe. (Emphasis mine).
From http://www.comcast.net/News/INTERNATIONAL/...abdb4da250.html (don't know if this is publicly available).
Seems that I remember what might be arguably the biggest military debacle in USA history starting with "just advisers".
I sorta like the idea of having tangible objectives and a time table before committing troops, but then I'm old fashioned.
