Looks like Baghdad has already fallen,

Don't give up on it just yet. People are moaning about this being one of the deadliest months ever for Americans, but we can sustain this tempo for months or years - I would be surprised if we've lost more than 10 or 12 in a single day. We are nowhere near the level of Vietnam (of course, we as a country are softer than we were during Vietnam).

For every one of our guys the enemy gets, we are probably getting at least five or six. I don't think they can sustain that, and I don't think the Iraqi people will continue to be complacent. The fact that Iraqis continue to volunteer for police and national guard units, even in the face of many volunteers being murdered by one side or another, speaks volumes about this.

You see our friends and of course our enemies both pay real attention to the politics in the U.S.
