<<...neocons like to fight...>>

tb: Good point...How many body bags will it take to 'accomplish our objectives'...? We will eventually win this war BUT at what cost...? As Tom Friedman would say its mission critical to win the peace -- I think that's a long shot right now...Listen the The BBC and Peter Arnett and you'll learn that many in Baghdad still are upset with The U.S. government for imposing sanctions...Many see the U.S. as 'an invading force' that is after Iraq's oil resources...This is NOT just a military battle its also a PR battle -- in this war there are 5 Arab Satellite Networks broadcasting nonstop from Iraq (they have over 100 reporters in the region now).
