I have plenty of respect for Colonel Hackworth. However, I dont believe he feels we SHOULDNT have gone to Iraq, rather that we should have gone with MORE TROOPS, MORE SUPPLIES and planned to HUNKER DOWN indefinitely. Rumsfield was hoping that the Iraqi's would have welcomed us with open arms and that would be that. Well, truth is most of the Iraqi's did welcome us but the few that didnt combined with foreign fighters infiltrating in appear to more then enough to conduct a low intensity "guerilla" war. So, Rumsfield made a mistake, let any of us who hasnt be the first to throw a stone. We are there now, we are staying. Rotation of troops is beginning and will ultimately make them happy as well as the weather eventually cooling down. I think it IMPERATIVE we train Iraqi troops and police as rapidly as possible so that its CLEAR these SO CALLED GUERILLAS are fighting IRAQI's. The reason I hate to call this a guerilla war cause unlike Vietnam we are there to HELP the indigineous population not to overthrow a government of THEIR CHOICE. Saddam was NOT a govt of choice for all be the elitist few. jdn
