First, you don't know what Bush, and more importantly, Cheney have planned for Iraq. They tend to say one thing and do another. It is possible to judge from peoples actions. The US is not acting like a power that is trying to turn Iraq in to a permanent colony. Its not necessary to read minds to come to a reasonable conclusion. As for saying one thing and doing another that hasn't been the case in terms of American foreign policy under Bush. Bush gets a lot of criticism for what he does do or for how he justifies his actions but he has a track record in foreign and security policy of doing what he said he will do. There is nothing to suggest that are occupation of Iraq is temporary. Most people are saying at least 5 years. They have been extremely effective at fighting the insurgents. Such bs........where did you get that line.....straight from the Nat. Review or FOX? From the news and reports of the actual events which are from any number of news sources including CNN and the New York Times. Almost invariably when we have a fight with the opposition they get the worst of it. Of course they aren't total idiots so they avoid getting in to fights with US forces most of the time. I guess I will have to define what I mean by fighting. I don't just mean winning a skirmish or battle but ridding the land of the insurgents. While we may be successful in face to face combat, the insurgents abilities, technology and strength are growing. This is the temps in winter Of course but you said "In case you hadn't noticed, our guys are really flagging under that heat." I was merely pointing out how that was not the case. Even when summer rolls around again the heat will not severely hamper our operations. American soldiers won't need to wear mop gear any more or conduct to many fights that are not quickly over. A prolonged battle or even a suspected chemical attack (requiring protective equipment to be worn) would make the heat a lot harder to handle but neither is likely, and even in those circumstances our military is up to the challenge. They are wearing protective gear because they are fearful of sniper attacks and roadside bombs. I see neither letting up in the forseeable future. ted
