Hi Nadine Carroll; Remember a year ago when we were only taking 30 dead per month? Here's what you were writing then: Nadine Carroll, December 16, 2003 Hey, Carl, weren't you the one saying that no war can be won until 5% of the men are dead? Is that rule only for other people? Yet you expect Americans to run away because of 30 casualties a month? We fought for ten years in Vietnam, and were losing 500 a week at the peak. Now that we've caught Saddam, I expect our effectiveness in fighting to rise because we'll get more Iraqi tips. The Ba'athists will be disheartened, and, more to the point, less intimidating to their neighbors. The main problems will switch to the jihadists, but few Iraqis support them either. Message 19601403 Here it is one year on, and the 30 casualties a month you were talking about back then would be considered a wonderful thing now. The result: Iraq: How Soon Can We Get Out? Time front cover, January 31, 2005 time.com -- Carl
