We haven't used 1% of the resources we could be using, if we were really serious.

So you agree that the Iraq war was a colossal error in judgement -- because not nearly enough resources have been dedicated to do the job. And no plans exist to increase the resources.

Your comparison to WWII has a very serious flaw: during WWII the whole world was engaged in the war and countries outside the US were suffering a lot more from it. Now, largely as a result of the Bush administration moves, the US stands alone, for all practical purposes, in its most resource-intensive operation, where the bulk of the US army is engaged. So other countries are rapidly gaining competitive advantage versus the US. For example, China is busy building a first class infrastructure, while our infrastructure is crumbling.

Unless we are very careful about how we spend our money and people in the WOT, we may end up a banana republic before the century is out.
