That a war cannot be started and finished during Bush's term is no surprise; shortly after 9/11 we were all aware that it was a very long-term commitment -- that will extend past Bush's term and probably past McCain's or Obama's.

Then why did Rummy say it would be over in 6 months, max?

Rather than fighting a country which could be defeated as a unit as in the past, we are fighting lots of individuals, obviously, more difficult to stomp out.

Especially with an army, when "the enemy" are spread thinly across the globe. Doesn't make any sense, does it?

But it can be done. You don't just say, "Oh, well, we're beaten."

What can be done? A strong pro-Iran government in the Iraq? Maybe, but I'm not sure why you would want to invest $Billions to help Iran.
