Notes
"Asked whether the United States had sufficient forces to wage war on Iraq as well as terrorism, retired Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, who stepped down last autumn as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the issue was less one of resources, which he considers sufficient, but attention span, which he worries about.
"'If we get drawn into something in Iraq, then our focus will go very heavily there, and it will be hard to sustain the momentum in the war on terrorism. That's the biggest danger that I see."
