Quagmire? That remains to be seen. It certainly could become one. Especially if the Iraqis don't show a willingness to side with the coalition forces and radical arabs from other countries join the fight on the Iraqi side. Time will tell. We might still be talking about this war in the summer when temperatures are hitting 120 degrees in the Iraqi desert. If the war is still going on by that time, it will certainly be a quagmire.

Stream On! Precisely what I was thinking. Better they find themselves in front of a US Marine in Iraq in an armored vehicle with a 50 cal than find the same terrorist here on US soil.

At the present rate of attrition of Iraqi combatants there wont be much capacity remaining to fight as the size of our coalition in Iraq appears to increasing rapidly.

It sounds like they found four more bodies of US Army soldiers executed and dismembered.
