During the second U.S. presidential debate between [[George W. Bush]] and [[John F. Kerry]] that occurred on October 8, 2004, candidate Kerry incorrectly stated, "General Shinseki, the Army chief of staff, told him he was going to need several hundred thousand [troops].

Although it is correct that Shinseki's advice was ignored, in fact his decision to retire was reported in the ''Washington Times'' on April 19, 2002, nearly a year before his February 25, 2003 testimony. The ''Washington Times'' article stated that Rumsfeld "and Army Secretary Thomas White have settled on Gen. John M. Keane, Army deputy chief of staff, to succeed the current chief, Gen. Eric Shinseki. Gen. Shinseki does not retire for more than a year. Sources offer differing reasons for the early selectionb it is me and i am doing a report on this person, Eric K. Shinsekiselection."
Oddly though, Mark Mazzetti in an article published by The US News & World Report stated that Shinseki's successor hadn't been picked as of June 16, 2003:
