I have no issues with what you said, Unclewest. When I said:

If we didn't go in to score a KO in the first round .... we better stay home.
that is what I meant. Our top brass, and civilian 'leaders' do not seem to want to win any more ... They appear to think we can triumph by going in to 'spar' a few rounds.

Won't work ... never has, and never will.

However, we did do a fairly good job in the beginning of Desert Storm ... We just let up too soon. We errored when control of the strategy went from the generals on the ground, to the pentagon. Schwartzkopf was fighting a war. The top brass was playing politics.
