"If you send the message that you can't take casualties and you can't stick it out anywhere for more than a year, the implications for your enemies are rather obvious."

The message is rather obvious. When you fight war on the cheap a la rummy and dont win in the time frame that was planned, you will automatically end up where we are. If Powell doctrine had been followed and 500,000 troops went in and succesffully pacified the country and we supported these troops with taxes at home and with funds from other nations a la gulf war, it would be a different story. The plan failed, was not adjusted to reality and now we stew in the juices we produced. Someone said to either you or one of the other righties here that you would still be fighting in vietnam if you had your druthers. I am beginning to believe that. Same as the who lost china folks from the 50s. And by the way are you reading the stories about walter reed and the horrific way vets are being treated. 200k in need of help--i guess some are duplicates because they need so much help. And know govt plan in place to do this--just the old rickety Veterans admin blowing off folks who are considering suicide. This admin sucks--they are abject failures.
