Retiring commander says U.S. has enough troops despite attacks
General Tommy Franks says no extra troops are needed in postwar Iraq as attacks rise. He defends the campaign as offensive operations to root out remnants of Saddam Hussein's regime while acknowledging U.S. casualties and praising Bush's "Bring ’em on" stance. Franks retires after 36 years, to be succeeded by Lt. Gen. John Abizaid.
