He supported the military tradition of preparing for the worst, deploying more troops than might be necessary and then bringing the surplus home. He accurately predicted that ethnic tensions would trigger violence in Iraq and require significant ground forces to contain. The war ultimately required a "surge" of 30,000 additional troops beginning in January 2007, validating Shinseki's premonition. But Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz had belittled his assessment...
