I was thinking the same thing: one of the best posts I have ever read on Free Republic. I hope a lot of Freepers have the pleasure and honor of reading it.
Thanks a lot for your positive remarks. 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)
