We know it isn’t that we cannot pull out of Iraq prematurely. We know that we can be in Iraq for another sixty days or another sixty years and the situation will not improve much while Iraq’s neighbors continue to man, fund and arm the insurgency.<BR/><BR/>The lesson of Vietnam is much different from the one the President apprehends. The lesson is this: if you fail to fight a war in a manner calculated to win it decisively, you will lose it inevitably. <BR/><BR/>By waiting for the Iraqis to establish democracy and failing to deal with the terrorist nations that surround them, we have enabled our enemies to control the pace and direction of the war. It is time for the President to “Trump” the neocons: tell them they’re fired. And get on with the business of fighting a war that will end the threat to America.</I>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-64091169666772294952007-08-27T09:05:00.000-04:002007-08-27T09:05:00.000-04:00This one is for doug.He'll appreciate it.A capsula...<A HREF="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=22104" REL="nofollow">This one</A> is for doug.<BR/><BR/>He'll appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>A capsulated history, by someone that agrees with him, about the development of the "Plan", in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>How the US fell of the tracks, abandoning the "War" for nation building.
