How can the world's only superpower get into a quagmire in Iraq? The
military might of the USA plus Iraq's army and police cannot squash a
ragtag bunch of insurgents? It defies reason. The Nazis had the right
idea. You go in with overwhelming force and take care of it in a week. 10
days at the most. A war taking several years is ridiculous. No country,
superpower or not, can possible afford it in terms of cost and casualties

back. All the woolly minded liberals would be all over Bush and his
government if he upped the ante, but how much worse would that be than
things are now?This looks like being another Viet Nam unless we get our arses in gear
and stop sending coalition soldiers home in body bags. It's time to
really forget the critics and get the job done regardless of the UN
and world opinion. -

"You're doin' a heckuva job, Brownie!" - bu$h, a few days
before his FEMA chief, Micheal Brown was forced to resign
because of his gross incomptence."The tools that enable Cuba save lives and preserve
human dignity during hurricanes are socialist values
and organization." - Dr. W.T. Whitney JrEver wonder who benefits from the 150 MILLION
U.S. taxpayer dollars spent each DAY in Iraq?

http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/2005/08/gates-of-fire.htmlIn some cases our guys are fighting with their hands tied behind their
backs. Read the part about the chase in the city, also the section
discussing the revolving door justice policy. However, even without these
restrictions, we don't always know who the insurgents are, so how can we go
in there and squash them in 10 days? They were smart enough not to battle us
head-on at the beginning of the war. At this point we need a lot more troops
if we are going to control every inch of Iraq with the aim of promoting a
stable government. World opinion isn't stopping us from sending an adequate
occupation force, the idealogues in Bush's administration are. -
