"I don't think we are required to excerpt Town Hall--"
Yeah, I know. I excerpted as I did to highlight that one stark fact. I figure that with the US engaged in a world war with an enemy that hopes to destroy us, if the American people allow our internal quislings to "Vietnam-ize" this war, we stand to lose all we hold dear.

If you really believe you are engaged in a world war, you should "world-war-ize" it, i.e. put a bit more effort into it. That means a lot more troops, a lot more industry devoted to war material production, higher taxes to fund it all and rationing (for example of gasoline). Plus the readiness to accept a far higher casualties than the few you've had so far. You also have to be prepared for defeats and be able to take them in your stride. If you lose in Iraq, the global war on terror won't be lost.
