It was an interesting article, but one question: Isn't Slate a liberal site? Kind of like Daily Kos, but with a bit more credibility?

Yes. The Army is overburdened. Rummy tried to do stuff on the cheap in the short term and wanted to rely on his favorite service (Air Force) and the grunts (Army and Marines) have taken the brunt. Surprisingly enough, occupation requires boots on the ground.
