Thanks for your gracious comment. I just felt I could use my knowledge of how dire WWII was for this country for most of our involvement in it and place that into a perspective vis a vis the Iraqi situation. I am sick of hearing how this is an endless quagmire in which we can never succeed. This could be another self inflicted defeat like Vietnam. (I am a vet of the SE Asia war games by the way)

Many thanks for your service.

I'm no expert, but the differences between Iraq and Viet Nam are many. First, we don't have the Soviets and/or Chinese supplying our enemies.

But one thing is the same. Our enemies CAN'T beat us militarily. It remains to be seen whether we will defeat ourselves.
