"...exceptionally high rate of casualties..."

Not to be insensitive to our great warriors on the hunt world-wide, but this WAAYYY overstates the case. The casualty rate in minuscule compared to any other war in our history, excluding Desert Storm, and is even exceeded by the occasional "police action". New York F'ing Times. Fifth Columnists!

For those in the Liberal enclaves, "According to Britannica.com, a fifth column refers to any clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation's solidarity."

William L. Nash, a retired Army major general and veteran of the 1991 Persian Gulf war and the Bosnia mission, said that while combat in Falluja, Ramadi, Najaf and other hot spots drew public attention, "the key to success remains in the political field, not the battlefield."

That's the first time I've seen any major media recognize the situation for what it is, a political crisis not a military crisis.

The wednesday night news on one Canadian network sounded like the fall of Saigon was happening all over again.

Mr. Bush said.(That's President to you, jerk. But that's what I'd expect from hateful liberals from the NYT) "Our decisive actions will continue until these enemies of democracy are dealt with."

Good!

War is the continuation of politics by other means. We simply cannot afford to lose - and if we do, the war will come here to the American homeland. Its too bad the Democrats and the partisan media do not understand the stakes involved.

. . . they are ordered to respond with decisive force, but to do so with such precision as to not agitate the broader Iraqi population.

IMHO, you could put a .308 between the eyes of the top 200 or 300 Sunni insurgents -- not causing another dime's worth of damage to anyone or anything -- and the "broader Iraqi population" would be plenty agitated.
