Charles Krauthammer notes: "By Monday the media were in full quagmire mode. Good grief. If there had been TV cameras not just at Normandy, but after Normandy, giving live coverage of firefights at every French village on the Allies' march to Berlin, the operation would have been judged a strategic miscalculation, if not a disaster. The fact is that after a single week we find ourselves at the gates of Baghdad, servicing the longest supply lines in American history, with combat losses astonishingly low by any standard." We face an enemy which hangs a woman for waving at a coalition solider, shoots its own troops to get them to march and die, surrenders and then opens fire, shoots women and children who try to get food and water, hides behind women and in hospitals and literally sets a young girl on fire with the kerosene she was trying to smuggle to her home. This is not a climate where the Iraqi people feel free to welcome us or for the average soldier to surrender. investorsinsight.com
