Another glaring error that comes to mind is the assertion that none of America's allies could produce enough matériel for themselves. Canada bought arms from the USA but we exported far more than we imported, and Canada was Britain's lifeline in 1940-41.

And now with much of America's industrial might being shipped overseas and offshore in the name of corporate profits, can we as a nation sustain the intensity necessary to produce the defensive and offensive weapons necessary to rescue other nations from being overrun by islam?

We should look very closely into our ability to wage a full scale war, starting with our oil imports. Inadequate oil supply is what caused Hitler to expand his occupation to the mid east and north Africa. Inadequate oil supply led to the defeat of Hitler because of the long supply line. We are in deep doo doo if we lose even a small percentage of our oil imports. Not just our ability to wage war, but our economy that pays the taxes to support a war.

In economic terms, victory in Iraq is small change compared to a continental conflict. The writer may have a few errors in his historical fact. But the general overview and comparisons of then and now are very realistic.
