Grant...Sherman... just the kind of Generals who know how to win a war.

Uncle Billy would have pacified Iraq good and proper.

Can you imagine what the situation in Iraq would be like if we had Grant, Sherman, Lee, Longstreet, Stewart, and Jackson over there! Or how about 'Black Jack' Pershing, Patton, Bradley, and McAuliffe.

Although General Petraeus is kicking tail and taking names, and Tommy Franks did an outstanding job with Afghanistan and the initial push into Iraq, so I guess you could say that we do have our own versions of these great leaders.
