["...after a Vietnam style conflict in Iraq "]

Kingfish;

I think that's what they said about our move into Afghanistan as well....wasn't THAT supposed to be the next Vietnam ?

Remember all the stories about these epic mountain warriors that fought off the Russian Army - yada, yada, yada.

Not to be cavalier about the tragic loss of American life in Vietnam.... but ala "this aint your father's Oldsmobile" - this aint your Vietnam era Military either.

The technologic advancements are exponential.

Urban warfare also, is not "jungle" warfare...I think we can roll thru most urban centers a little easier than rain forrests & rice patties.

I think the UN's best role will be with occupying forces, stabilizing the new Iraqi Government; we will remain the first responders in the War on Terrorism; but I don't think we will leave as large a military contingent remaining in harms way in Iraq, as long as people anticipate.

We'll continue to take the lead in the War on Terrorism, we'll continue to be the First Responders; but I think we'll leave the occupying & stabilization mainly to UN Troops.

Taking Saddam and his Black Market Oil $ out of the loop; will be a major hit to Global Terrorism. Cutting off the money, is like cutting off the head; then we go after the body...
