Sattler's predecessor, Lt. Gen. James T. Conway, who relinquished his command earlier this month, insisted that "the Marines we have there now could crush the city and be done with business in four days." "But that's not what we're going to do," Conway said. Since the handover of sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government in late June, he added, Fallujah "is an Iraqi problem. If there is an attack on the anti-Iraqi forces that inhabit the city, it will be done almost exclusively by Iraqis." This sucks. It's Vietnam all over again. Mogadishu all over again. This is why the US hasn't really won a war since WWII. Don't even get me started on how Roosevelt treated Patton, either. American military should not be sacrificed as window dressing for candy-ass politicians. Fight to win. That's it. No alternative is acceptable.
